- Sunday, June 2, 2:53 AM Satellite operator DirecTV (DTV) and two other unidentified suitors have reportedly bid over $1B each to acquire Hulu. The owners of the online video service, which are News Corp (NWS), Disney (DIS) and Comcast (CMCSA), have received seven offers for the company, and intend to cut the shortlist down over the next few weeks. Previous reports have said that other bidders include Yahoo (YHOO), KKR (KKR) and Time Warner Cable (TWC). 5 Comments [Consumer, M&A, Top Stories]
- Friday, May 31, 9:14 AM A booming box office in China has major film studios (SNE, VIAB, CMCSA, LGF, TWX) catering more than ever to Chinese audiences. While passing censors in China was once the focus for U.S. film producers, now scripts are being edited not to offend. Dreamworks Animation (DWA) CEO Jeffery Katzenberg on the trend: "We used to blacklist screenwriters for being communists. Now we’re taking script notes from a communist government." 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Friday, May 31, 8:31 AM More on the Fan TV receiver (previous): After Fanhattan unveiled its all-in-one TV receiver to positive reviews at D11, the next question is whether or not pay-TV companies (CHTR, CVC, TWC, CMCSA) will sign on with the upstart. Though the group has always been hesitant to give up on their own programming guides, the simplicity of the Fan TV technology for consumers and the ability to offer a next-gen concept could prove tempting. Comment! [Consumer, Tech]
- Thursday, May 30, 3:14 PM The next big thing in TV might be called Fan TV. BTIG Research is raving about the IP-based set-top box from two-year old startup Fanhattan which is trying to solve the riddle of how to enable consumers to watch TV and movie content across devices. If video distribution partners sign up, the device just might be the Holy Grail of providing one-stop content access. The big picture: According to BTIG, the technology could give an edge to cable companies (CHTR, CVC, TWC, CMCSA) over satellite players (DISH, DTV). (Fan TV demo) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 30, 10:00 AM Hulu (DIS, NWS, CMCSA) says its top global operations exec resigned earlier this month to continue a trend of management heading for the exits. What to watch: Amid the excitement over a number of big-name media and tech suitors entering the chase for Hulu is the reality that securing a final deal will be difficult. The streaming service relies on fresh content from NBC, ABC, and Fox - but will those deals be extended to a new owner? 2 Comments [Consumer, Tech]
- Wednesday, May 29, 10:24 AM Comcast (CMCSA -1.8%) wins a courtroom battle with the Tennis Channel which sued the company because it wasn't carried on the provider's basic cable package. It's a nice win for Comcast and sets up a more challenging path if the FCC wants to break up the tiered cable model. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 28, 3:48 PM What makes Hulu so valuable? Despite revenue streams that aren't fully realized yet, the Hulu (DIS, CMCSA, NWS) brand is already worth more than any of the networks, argues RBC Capital Market's David Bank. Though still only a minor player on the subscription side, the company sits in a dominant position to take advantage of the boom expected in online video advertising. Does the drop today in Netflix (NFLX -6.3%) have more to do with the threat of Hulu being owned by a bigger company than disappointing reviews for Arrested Development? 9 Comments [Consumer, Tech]
- Tuesday, May 28, 12:12 PM In a weekend battle of franchises, Universal Pictures saw Fast & Furious 6 beat The Hangover Part III from Warner Bros. over the four-day holiday weekend by a wide margin ($120M vs. $51.2M). Though at times a weekend win at the box office is more about bragging rights than trickle-down revenue to the parent company, for Comcast (CMCSA -0.2%) and Time Warner (TWX +1.2%) the box office scorecard over the Memorial Day weekend could reveal the death of one franchise and the survivability of the other. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, May 27, 2:06 AM It's been a "Fast & Furious" weekend for the the sixth outing of the Vin Diesel vehicle, with the film leading the box-office charts with sales of $98.5M so far, the largest ever debut for Comcast's (CMCSA) Universal Pictures. Coming in at No. 2 was Warner Bros.' (TWX) comedy, The Hangover Part III, which generated $42.4M. Fast & Furious 6 is projected to earn $122.2M over the four-day Memorial Day period, while total movie receipts are forecast at $323M, slaying the 2011 record of $276.3M. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, May 24, 3:12 PM Yahoo (YHOO +1.7%) throws its name into the Hulu hat to join a number of P-E firms as well as DirecTV and Time Warner Cable in the hunt. Owners Disney (DIS +0.1%), Comcast (CMCSA +0.2%), and News Corp (NWS, NWSA) will weigh the best offer, but will also want to position themselves on the content side to be protected. (Previous on Hulu-mania) 16 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Friday, May 24, 1:40 PM Add KKR and Silver Lake Management to the list of bidders for Hulu (CMCSA, DIS, NWS), according to Bloomberg. Earlier reports indicated Time Warner Cable (TWC -0.8%), Guggenheim Digital, and DirecTV (DTV -0.6%) are in the hunt. What to watch: Some analysts think Hulu could evolve into a payment authentication system for the cable industry, while others bet that a single media/tech company will snap up the firm to create a unique position for itself in video - either as a premium streaming service or an ad-supported content monster. Either way Netflix (NFLX -0.5%) is watching. 1 Comment [Consumer, Tech]
- Friday, May 24, 10:18 AM A group of broadcasters including Fox (NWS), NBCU (CMCSA), ABC (DIS), and Telemundo filed a copyright infringement lawsuit in Washington DC against a similar outfit to Aereo that is also offering re-transmission services to consumers. The target, subtly called Aereokiller, appears to be an easier case for the broadcasting companies to win a decision over - right in the backyard of politicians. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, May 24, 6:52 AM Hulu (DIS, NWS, CMCSA) has received buyout offers from DirecTV and Time Warner Cable in the first round of bidding, according to the New York Post. Guggenheim Partners, which is helping the tech concern sell itself, isn't saying if P-E firms are joining the chase. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 23, 12:59 PM Summer studio watch: 1) Sony (SNE): The studio has seven films coming, but no sure-fire winners although After Earth could be the sleeper in the crowd. Daniel Loeb will be watching. 2) Warner Bros: (TWX) Though bad reviews are a major risk for The Hangover Part III, Man of Steel is forecast to be major hit across demographics. If Superman delivers, a refreshed franchise could boost forecasts for TWX. 3) Universal (CMCSA): Studio heads could roll if Fast & Furious 6 and RIPD don't deliver the macho audience in a crowded field. 4) Disney (DIS): Iron Man 3 is expected to have strong legs into the summer while The Lone Ranger looks more susceptible to disappoint with it debuting up aside Despicable Me 2. Pixar's Monsters University also hits screens. (box office projections) Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 22, 1:03 PM The Xbox One is far from the future of television unless cable providers (CVC, CMCSA, CHTR, TWC) can work with Microsoft to create a superior video product that captures market share from satellite players (DISH, DTV), according to BTIG's Rich Greenfield. Under the status quo, the Xbox One only offers a clunky way to control the TVs and DVRS of consumers without a complex home configuration. Greenfield says an edge exists for the cable industry, as long as it works quick before the Apple Television launch or an improved Google TV product is debuted. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 21, 1:54 PM Though MSO operators (TWC, CVC, CMCSA, CHTR) all offer subscribers a broadband-only subscription, so far the group seems to be doing an adequate job upselling customers to bigger packages to prevent wide-scale cord cutting on pay TV services. The trend is not without an assist from broadcasters that are only allowing authenticated consumers from pay TV providers to watch their series online and on mobile devices. Still, execs do acknowledge that cities with younger consumers tend to favor broadband-only packages meaning the industry could see a problem sometime in the future keeping its finger in the dike.
