The report suggests these assets would be “better positioned as a consolidated, linear-focused vehicle with scale benefits that can drive affiliate and advertising negotiation as well as synergies.”
😵‍💫
- I thought you just strung together that corporate buzz bomb as satire, then I looked at the article.
  People who think and speak that way are making decisions about creative content...and not understanding why so much of it sucks.
  
  I repeat this about once a week: business degrees destroyed America.
- I mean younger folks don’t generally have cable anyways, and Comedy Central and MTV have relied on cheap programming like reruns and reality tv for at least 15 years
- Comedy Central already has basically no original programming these days.
  
  For like a decade they took over the role of producing comedy specials when HBO got out of the game, but that niche seems to have been filled by Netflix recently.
  
  I always liked comedy central as a tween because they allowed “fuck” uncensored after like 11pm
- Paramount to rebrand to "2nd-Rate" TV?
Everyone reading this headline: "Well MTV, yeah."
- You mean the Ridiculousness Channel
MTV was a priority?
