RIPPA Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 HBO is delaying the release of Last Week Tonight clips on Youtube until now Thursday after the show airs The news was broken by John Oliver who apologized for not being able to share the show clip on Monday like he normally does The goal is to drive people to sign up for MAX Quote An HBO rep confirmed that going forward, clips from “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver” will not be shared on YouTube until four days after the premiere on HBO and Max. “When ‘Last Week Tonight With John Oliver’ premiered on HBO, the convenience of watching on Max did not exist so YouTube allowed flexible viewing for the main story as well as promotional exposure,” the HBO spokesperson said in a statement emailed to Variety. “We are now delaying that availability and hope those fans choose to watch the entire show on Max.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Tangential Business related Walmart is buying Vizio Obviously Walmart was already a big seller of Vizio TVs but they are making this move to improve their ad game Quote Walmart and its Sam’s Club warehouse chain have long been major sellers of Vizio devices. But in buying the company, Walmart touted the potential to boost its ad business through Vizio’s SmartCast Operating System, which allows users to stream free ad-supported content on their TVs. As it pushes for higher profits, the retail titan has tried to expand its media business Walmart Connect, which comes with bigger profit margins than selling groceries or clothing. The segment’s advertising sales grew 22% in the fourth quarter. “We believe VIZIO’s customer-centric operating system provides great viewing experiences at attractive price points. We also believe it enables a profitable advertising business that is rapidly scaling,” said Seth Dallaire, executive vice president and chief revenue officer of Walmart U.S., in a statement. The move comes as Walmart tries to compete with Amazon’s growing ad segment. Walmart’s control of the Vizio platform will give companies that advertise with the retailer a greater reach. In a news release, Walmart said Vizio’s SmartCast system has 18 million active accounts. The retailer also said it could offer “innovative television and in-home entertainment and media experiences” after it acquires the TV maker.

It seems that they've definitely improved their QC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 The only reason they had to go from a company that makes and distributes movies, to a company that deletes movies for the tax write off, is the Fantastic Beasts franchise died on it's arse. JK Rowling's lack of talent killed the company. She's the Vince Russo of Warner Bros. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
