“The industry—the old media industry, both transport and content—needs to continue to consolidate, to get scale, to be efficient. There’s too many streamers for sure, and obviously, broadcasting is morphing into sports distribution, at least for now, keeping it alive if not highly profitable… At the moment, big tech has the upper hand. Distribution for big tech is free on the internet, thanks to network neutrality, a regulatory decision that was put in by the Obama administration and really did cripple the traditional cable media alignment.”
– Liberty Media Chairman John Malone on CNBC’s “Squawk Box”

Good News: For decades, C-SPAN has connected Congress with the American people, providing the public with a front-row seat to see their government at work.
Glad to see YouTube and Hulu listened to Chuck Grassley and me and are taking the step to carry C-SPAN’s live coverage!

Almost 15 years of these two as these two, and fans still can’t get enough. Lined up for hours in Madrid, so much love and energy. Season three of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon premieres on @AMC_TV and @AMCPlus Sunday. #TWD pic.twitter.com/HRZbNyy8pf
