    Sign of the times. Disney books lots of revenues from theme parks, Disney Plus and and their movie studios. CBS books a of revenue from the Paramount network and their movie studio. Amazon booked 31 billion in ad revenue last year.

    I think the ABC and CBS television networks are dead men walking.

    Would this be a government-required payment?

    Public media tries to downplay the amount of financing it gets from the government. X amount of the costs come from listeners and business donors is a common donor drive theme.
    Uhh, Paramount+ isn't the parent company.

    Right now, Hulu, Peacock, and Paramount are about controlling rights to shows the companies produced.

    Why do the companies have to do anything?

    It would be much better if it weren't.

    Sorry. Paramount Global.

    Which is controlled by National Amusements.

    I'm raising fares for the public transit agency I run here in our county. I'm required to post a legal ad in the newspaper.
    Cost $250 for 6 inches of agate on the classified page for one day. Robbery. Plus, the third-party vendor they now use for those ads, you can't just walk up and place the ad anymore, sucks ass. Took me 30 minutes of my time to place and pay for the ad when it would have taken the lady at the front desk about 5 minutes to put it in previously.
    Interestingly, it was a paper where I worked for 25 years. I was sitting in the lobby posting my own ad and one of my old friend in sports walked through. We chatted, and then in came the former long time crime reporter who worked there 30 years and now works for as a mental health PR flak. Weird how things like that happen.
