I just hope none of this effects my Pluto TV -- nm - Jovian Apr 9, 08:45

- I think you just mean Netflix. Bitch. -- nm - Netflix Apr 9, 08:41
ParaPeacoMax+++ - and then merge a bunch of the other smaller streamers nobody wants into the mix and rebrand it as 'Cable' -- nm - decline Apr 9, 08:40 1
- I could see them doing it cause they stupid. Netflix already won so likely can't be bothered -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Apr 9, 08:44
"we'll call it . . . cable" -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 9, 08:39 2
- everyone wanted ala carte. -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 09:01
- heh -- nm - decline Apr 9, 08:40
"and they propose that mary will watch survivor using... ???" -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Apr 9, 08:30
do the production rights to Star Trek go with this deal? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Apr 9, 08:30 13
- It’s a uniquely complicated deal, but they should get virtually Paramount assets, including Star Trek, presuming it goes through. - David Apr 9, 08:41 3
  - Maybe we will get to see Tom Cruise as a starfleet admiral - Beryllium Apr 9, 09:25 2
    - Not sure that Tom Cruise would want to play an alien... -- nm - Roger More Apr 9, 09:34
    - (I thought he was a part owner, or at least a tight collaborator, but perhaps I was misinformed) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 09:30
- if they buy Paramount in it's entirety yeah. but if they just want Paramount + I don't think so. David should know more on this -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 08:37 8
  - who the fuck would pay for just the streamer without rights to the shows? gong show. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Apr 9, 08:38 7
    - right? But most of the deals I've read and hear Kim & co. talk about is that companies that want to buy out want the streamer & not Paramount -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 08:42 6
      - Nobody wants linear, but corporations won’t sell piecemeal. Otherwise, they’d get stuck with the rotting corpse. -- nm - David Apr 9, 08:44 5
        
        I get what you're saying (and I basically agree), but there is still big money in linear for at least two more decades -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 08:58
        
        lol unlike the non-rotting corpse of the streamers that continue to bleed money from their collective aortas - hollywood big shot Apr 9, 08:48 3
        
        Sure, and I've got a good feeling about the return of pagers! -- nm - David Apr 9, 09:55
        
        I dunno. Pluto seems to be viable and they're just a service without owning or producing any content. That's even with Viacom buying them -- nm - JD Apr 9, 08:57 1
        
        Plus, Netflix is wildly profitable. Hulu has had steady profit for a while now. Max just got a year of profitability. -- (edited) - Inigo Apr 9, 09:07
