"I created and launched Comics Unleashed 20 years ago so my fellow comedians could have a platform to do what we all love - make people laugh.

One Battle After Another dominated the awards race and even threw in some box-office points as well. Seven of the top-ten movies were Best Picture nominees at the Oscars, for what it's worth.

Via tentative rebel student Agnes Mackenzie, the drama meticulously illustrates the ways disempowered people hoard what little agency they have in Gilead's oppressive environment.

The decision to cast 31-year-old Paul as the next Bachelorette was framed as a groundbreaking change of pace for the famously risk-averse juggernaut, aiming to breathe new life into the franchise.

Since its 1996 debut, Access Hollywood has aired nearly 12,000 episodes. Yet its most infamous segment was one that never made it to broadcast: in October 2016, weeks before the presidential election, The Washington Post obtained footage of then-candidate Donald Trump making lewd comments about women to Access Hollywood host Billy Bush.

Following our last World Series game that averaged more than 51 million viewers globally, these partnerships build on MLB's growing momentum that includes generational stars setting new standards for excellence, new rules which have improved the game on the field, and increases in important fan engagement metrics like viewership, attendance, participation and social media consumption. We're looking forward to tapping into the unique areas of expertise that ESPN, NBCUniversal and Netflix each bring to the sport for the benefit of our fans.

That's a line that will drive the linear hardcore into testing the more addressable medium. Easing these concerns, the study compared the reliability of each platform in delivering what was paid for. BVOD was found to be the least risky of all video channels, delivering 20% variance compared with the median return. This was closely followed by linear TV with a variability of 24%.

From Nielsen's perspective, "we think this is a big opportunity to improve person-level measurement" and give buyers and sellers a more accurate picture of who's actually watching what, said Brian Fuhrer, SVP of product strategy and thought leadership at Nielsen.

Viewers are no longer distinguishing between linear and digital - they are choosing to tune in to what they want, where, when and how they want to watch. We must now embrace a multi-currency future, and jointly drive innovation that ensures more accurate and complete measurement approaches. Measurement needs to accurately reflect the reality of audience trends for marketers to effectively allocate their advertising investments and serve the entire ecosystem. And that will require more than one solution.

In podcasting, knowing how your audience stacks up against the competition has always been a bit of a guessing game. And BBC Studios, the content production arm of the British public broadcasting corporation, was tired of guessing. Around two years ago, BBC Studios started working with digital audio monetization and measurement platform Triton Digital, and benchmarking was at the top of its wish list. Triton made good on that request on Thursday with the addition of benchmarking features to its Podcast Metrics publisher analytics dashboard.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, pickup order to lack of renewal. Here we bid farewell to the canceled shows of 2026. Less than a month into the year (and last lunar year not even over) and shows are already starting to drop. This post will serve as living tribute to the TV we're going to miss in 2027. Don't cry because they're over, smile because hopefully there are some sort of residuals in place for the workers.

It is niche, says Down. We don't write to any kind of brief. We don't write what we think is going to be interesting to other people or commercial. For every 10 people that don't understand a reference or the thing we're trying to do with the costume or the subtle hint we're making about someone's class, there'll be one person that gets it.
