NBA, Sports Risk Spark Ad Fears: Media Stocks Hit In Market Plunge
Media stocks were smacked Thursday as the NBA ’s suspended rest of season focused investors on a potential ad slump and accelerated cord cutting with trading halted temporarily for the second time this week as the market plunged. “The only reason to have a multichannel video bundle is literally disappearing, at least temporarily,” said analyst Richard Greenfield of LightShed Partners. “While we do not expect consumers to rush to cut the cord immediately, a prolonged sports outage could lead to a meaningful acceleration in cord-cutting and will certainly negatively impact gross adds,” he said – particularly as “the most ambitious non-sports general entertainment content has migrated” to OTT services like Netflix , Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney + and others. “A slowdown in advertising spending would be an unwelcome negative shock to media companies currently fighting against a steepening trend of cord cutting,” agreed analyst Michael Nathanson of … [Read more...] about NBA, Sports Risk Spark Ad Fears: Media Stocks Hit In Market Plunge

Hrithik Roshan Reveals How Lord Of The Rings Inspired His Father To Make Krrish
In a career spanning over two decades, Hrithik Roshan has been a part of several movies including sci-fi flicks like Koi...Mil Gaya and Krrish franchise. Recently, the superstar at an event revealed how the idea to turn Koi...Mil Gaya into a franchise dawned upon his filmmaker-dad Rakesh Roshan. At a special event of the release of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime Video, the War star revealed that his father, after binge-watching Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 2004, called him up and suggested that they too should build an entire universe around Koi...Mil Gaya . Hrithik said, "There's a little connection between me and the Lord of the Rings , which I don't think anyone knows. One random day back in 2004, my dad watched The Lord of the Rings part one.

‘Virgin River’ Unseats ‘Stranger Things’ Atop Nielsen Streaming Chart
Virgin River unseated longtime streaming champ Stranger Things on Nielsen ’s weekly U.S. chart, racking up more than 2.6 billion minutes of viewing from July 18 to 24. Stranger Things , which is already in the books as the biggest English-language series on Netflix globally, finished with just shy of 2.3 billion minutes of watch time. That was a 23% drop from the previous week, but still left it firmly in second place, well ahead of the opening weekend of Netflix’s Russo Bros. spy feature The Gray Man , which pulled in more than 1.4 billion streaming minutes. Already established as a popular mainstay, Virgin River added a 12-episode fourth season on July 20, drawing a dedicated but older-skewing crowd. Two-thirds of viewers were over the age of 50, Nielsen said, and almost one-third were older than 65. The show, which stars Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson, is based on Robyn Carr’s novels about a nurse practitioner who moves from Los Angeles to a remote … [Read more...] about ‘Virgin River’ Unseats ‘Stranger Things’ Atop Nielsen Streaming Chart
Streaming Viewership Has Surpassed Cable TV Tune-In For The First Time, Per Nielsen
Viewership of streaming programming surpassed that of cable TV for the first time in July, Nielsen reported. The measurement firm, in its monthly snapshot of overall viewership called The Gauge, said streaming accounted for 34.8% of all viewing. That share of the total rose almost 23% compared with July 2021. Cable, meanwhile, took 34.4% of the total, sliding 9% from the year before. Broadcast slumped almost 10% year-over-year to account for 21.6% of tune-in. One factor in July was the end of the NBA playoffs, which pulled significant numbers on TNT and ESPN in June. The Tokyo Olympics also boosted cable in July 2021. Streaming in July 2022 also benefited from the blockbuster premiere of the final two episodes of Stranger Things Season 4, among other big draws. Football season, which kicks off for college and NFL teams in the next couple of weeks, should revive the fortunes of traditional TV. Total time spent watching TV in July closely resembled that of … [Read more...] about Streaming Viewership Has Surpassed Cable TV Tune-In For The First Time, Per Nielsen
