Timelines are the best way to understand when things happen. AT&T's timeline of its time in Hollywood is a grand ol' time. Let's take a look at that only on News Time!
Warner Bros. goes to the movies (at home... and at the movies)!
Warner Media and AT&T's decision to release their 2021 film slate in theaters and on HBO Max rocked the entertainment industry. While it's true the pandemic has changed everything, it's also true it hasn't changed how artists view the value of their work. This deal may make HBO Max the killer app but it's a short gain so far. Find out why only on News Time!
AT&T's rocky merger with Time Warner and their broad plans for HBO!
“1 800 CALL ATT for Collect Calls”
-Carrot Top
AT&T’s acquisition of Time Warner made way for other big conglomerates to do the same thing. But it also changed the way companies can come together. The Department of Justice, AT&T and even HBO had something to say in regards to the merger. Not only that but the new head of Warner media (who used to work for AT&T) wants to point HBO in a new, broader direction - just like Jeff Bezos wants to do with Amazon Video. That way, it can compete in a streaming age against other networks *cough* Netflix *cough.* Is the plan solid enough to work? Find out only on News Time!
What the heck is going on at [streaming site]?
"I just want to be slapped around!"
-Winston Bishop, "New Girl"
One good aspect about streaming networks is they're changing all the time. They have a lot more leeway when it comes to their operations whereas traditional networks don't. But this can be as much of a hindrance too. New to the Amazon brass, Jennifer Salke is doling out new positions to colleagues left and right. Netflix is fighting with Cannes Film Festival again. And Hulu launches new deals with Spotify and HBO. Catch up on the latest from the big three streamers only on News Time!
Steven Soderbergh and HBO are testing the bounds of storytelling!
"In Full Frontal and K Street, I learned to take advantage of the mobility that digital provides. "
-Steven Soderbergh
Steven Soderbergh's latest series, "Mosaic," invites you to lead the narrative. No, really. Viewers can download an app and watch the story unfold right in front of their eyes. Or you can watch the show live on HBO. Find out how it all works only on News Time. Also, Netflix and Spotify are tracking what you're watching but making cute ads out of the information. Is it cute or creepy?
