Eatherly shot Fox in the stomach and shoulder during a fight, claiming self-defense after Fox pursued and punched him; over 100 stream viewers backed his account, but prosecutors pointed to the crowded public setting and Eatherly's prior arrests. Judge H. Reid Poland III set a $1.25 million bond, citing the felony charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, and more, which carry 15 to 60 years if convicted. Online, reactions divide sharply between self-defense claims and criticism of Eatherly's history, with fundraising topping $130,000 amid plans to block his release. News May 15 Forecast: Amazon, Netflix, Google to control half of CTV ad market by 2030 The global fight to “own the living room” is entering a new phase as Google, Amazon and Netflix are projected to control 50 per cent of the global connected TV advertising market by 2030, according to forecasts presented by Omdia at RetailX in London. The findings highlight how the centre of power in television is rapidly shifting away from traditional broadcasting toward streaming platforms, TV operating systems and advertising ecosystems. According to Omdia forecasts, global connected TV (CTV) advertising revenue will surge from $44 billion (€37.8bn) in 2025 to $81 billion by 2030, with CTV ad revenues expected to surpass traditional linear TV advertising during the 2030s. By the end of the decade: Google is forecast to command 26 per cent of global CTV advertising revenue Amazon will account for 13 per cent Netflix will represent 9 per cent Combined, the three companies will own half of the entire global CTV advertising market. “The battle for the living room is no longer only about streaming content,” commented Maria Rua Aguete, Senior Research Director at Omdia, speaking at RetailX London. “It is increasingly about controlling the platform, the advertising layer, the operating system, the data and ultimately the consumer relationship.” Rua Aguete noted that television is becoming one of the most strategic gateways for digital advertising, retail media and commerce integration, with tech companies increasingly competing to control the TV interface itself. Omdia also revealed that the European TV operating system landscape is shifting rapidly. According to the research firm, VIDAA is set to become Europe’s third-largest TV operating system this behind Android TV and Tizen, overtaking several established competitors as manufacturers seek greater ownership of the smart TV experience. The rise of VIDAA underlines how smart TV operating systems are becoming critical strategic assets in the streaming era, acting as the front door for content discovery, advertising monetisation and viewer engagement. “Who owns the TV operating system increasingly controls advertising, discovery and monetization,” added Rua Aguete. “The operating system is becoming as important as the content itself.” The shift comes as media companies, streamers, retailers and technology giants race to secure premium positioning in connected households. Amazon is leveraging Prime Video and retail media integration to expand its TV advertising footprint, while Netflix continues to scale its advertising business globally through its ad-supported tier. Google remains dominant through YouTube’s massive connected TV reach and broader advertising infrastructure. Omdia expects several trends to accelerate the transformation of television advertising over the next five years: Expansion of ad-supported streaming services Convergence of retail media and television advertising Growth in programmatic and targeted TV advertising Increasing importance of TV operating systems and smart TV ecosystems Greater competition for consumer attention and platform ownership The findings reinforce how television, commerce and digital advertising are converging into a single ecosystem  and why control of the living room is becoming one of the most valuable strategic positions in media.

News May 15 Combat Sports: Jake Paul Can't Get Into TKO Events According to Jake, his involvement with MVP has made it so he can't be in his older brother's corner in WWE for the foreseeable future. Despite the trouble, he enjoys what he describes as playful banter between himself and TKO. "I don't take any beefs too serious. I think it's definitely in the name of entertainment; however, there is truth in it," the 12-2 professional boxer said on "Smash Cast." "From my side, I'm just having fun. The fact that one of the biggest organizations in the world, the TKO group, has this major beef with me, they won't even let me go be in my brother's WWE matches because they hate me so much. And so it's pretty wild, how much under their skin we are. ... I enjoy s*** talk. I like when people make fun of me. I'm easy to make fun of. I'm able to make fun of myself."

Advertising spend across a selected group of major Australian outdoor and sports retailers rose 4.0% year-on-year in 2025, reaching $91.9 million, up from $88.4 million in 2024. While overall growth was moderate, the way brands allocated that spend points to increasingly different strategies as retailers looked for new ways to stay visible in a competitive market. Anaconda was the biggest advertiser in the group in 2025, investing $17.6 million, followed by BCF (Boating Camping Fishing) at $13.0 million, then Rebel Sport at $6.6 million. Across the retailers analysed, social media was the largest channel by spend in 2025, attracting $39.9 million, followed by metro TV at A$20.0 million, general display at $11.4 million, regional television at $10.8 million, and out-of-home at $4.3 million. The figures show brands are taking very different paths to reach consumers interested in outdoor lifestyles. Anaconda and BCF both backed broad, high-reach strategies, spanning television, social and digital display. Rebel Sport also maintained a diversified mix, with strong investment across social, television and general display. By contrast, 4WD & Outdoor Supacentre leaned heavily into social and radio, while Kathmandu was overwhelmingly social-led. Macpac, meanwhile, remained much more television-focused than many of its competitors. The timing of spend also points to a highly seasonal battle for attention. Investment built sharply in the second half of the year, peaking in November and December, when retailers were most aggressive in competing for consumers during key promotional and holiday periods. The ad battle is playing out against the backdrop of a large and commercially attractive audience. New Nielsen Consumer & Media View (CMV) data shows around 15.4 million Australians identify as outdoor enthusiasts via their interest in fishing, camping or bush walking, making them a substantial audience for brands looking to connect through lifestyle, wellbeing, performance and quality. This broad audience is 53.8% male and 46.2% female, with almost two-thirds aged under 55. The strongest concentration sits among 18-39 year olds, followed by 40-54 year olds, showing outdoor enthusiasm is especially strong among active, working-age Australians. They are also motivated shoppers. Nielsen CMV shows 73.3% say they would spend more for quality goods, while 66.9% say they tend to hold off buying until products go on sale, suggesting this audience values quality but remains highly responsive to promotions and timing. The data also points to a strong lifestyle connection. More than 66% say they prefer holidays where they can see nature or be in a natural setting, and Australians in this audience are 25% more likely than average to be seeking an adventure or outdoor experience on a domestic holiday in the next 12 months. *Full article and coverage via Nielsen.

However, early results show inconsistent effects—some sports events have seen gains, but wrestling has been hit hard, with drops of 20-60% in key demographics. As of October 6, 2025, "Nielsen Wrestling News" primarily refers to the ongoing industry-wide discussion about Nielsen's overhaul of its TV ratings methodology, which has drastically lowered reported viewership numbers for major wrestling programs like WWE and AEW. This change, rolled out in early Q4 2025, has sparked concern among promoters, analysts, and fans about its potential impact on media deals and the perceived value of wrestling content. Below, I'll break down the key details, impacts, and reactions based on the latest reports. What Changed in Nielsen's System? Nielsen transitioned from its traditional "panel-only" method (tracking ~42,000 households) to a new "Big Data Panel" approach. This integrates: Data from 45 million households and 75 million devices (e.g., set-top boxes, smart TVs). The goal: More accurate, comprehensive audience measurement in a streaming-heavy era. Impact on Wrestling Shows The shift explains recent "plummeting" ratings, complicating year-over-year comparisons. Here's a snapshot of affected shows (new Big Data Panel numbers vs. old panel-only equivalents where available): (Media Man: See Grok live results) Broader Context and Outlook Wrestling remains a top performer relative to other non-sports TV (e.g., WWE Raw still ranks high in key demos), but the optics are rough amid WWE's Netflix transition and AEW's expansion pushes. Analysts like those at Wrestlenomics suggest tracking both methodologies for now to avoid panic. No major cancellations or deal breaks reported yet, but expect more scrutiny in Q4 earnings calls Sources: Wrestlenomics, F4WOnline, Programming Insider. These aren't actual declines in audience—it's a measurement shift—but they could influence negotiations. Industry Reactions Dave Meltzer (Wrestling Observer Newsletter): Called it a "disaster for pro wrestling," noting wrestling's value to TV "looks to be taking a very significant hit." He highlighted disproportionate drops for WWE/AEW compared to other genres. WWE: Expressed internal concerns that the lower numbers could undermine TNA Wrestling's ongoing TV deal talks (aiming for ~$10M annually). However, TNA President Carlos Silva stated it hasn't factored into negotiations yet. USA Network (WWE SmackDown broadcaster) is monitoring but using supplementary data like VideoAmp. AEW/WBD (TBS/TNT): Tony Khan and Warner Bros. Discovery view it as a short-term optics issue, relying on internal metrics showing stable engagement. One source: "Not seeing a strong pattern yet—some events go up, others down." Broader Concerns: Fears of cascading effects on ad revenue, rights fees, and even talent contracts. Reddit's r/SquaredCircle community debated it as "doom and gloom" for public perception, though networks have access to fuller data sets. Media Man: Change is a regular occurrence in both the media, new media and pro wrestling industry. Best to adopt the Charles Darwin ideology .. adapt to change and evolve to the changing landscape. Manage risks and focus on strengths. To help get to the bottom of things as per the old saying in and around Vegas, "Follow The Money". TKO may have an ace or two up it's sleeve here, but AEW is not short a dollar either. There's many moving parts to this situation. The combat sports sector will be watching Nielsen with an eagle eye, or evil eye?! Many are watching the waters. Road To Crown Jewel and Road/Flightpath to WrestleMania Saudi! He who owns the gold makes the rules?! More podcast and pro wrestling news fodder right?! Got to fill up those reports with something in between the pro wrestling match results. Plenty of news outside the ring, as well as in and around in. This storyline is writing itself. VKM and maybe Shane watching with interest. UFC can't be to bothered by this, fresh off a Paramount Skydance Deal. Anyone game to bring back Lucha Underground? That's what we thought. How about more web only broadcasts? Still, With WWE Speed now off X and onto NXT something knows something! The grapple for the audience and paying customers and b2b continues. "There's a customer born every minute" P. T. Barnum News (In Case You Missed It) News Flashback Streaming Reaches Historic TV Milestone, Eclipses Combined Broadcast and Cable Viewing For First Time June 2025 Streaming Notches a Record 44.8% of Total TV Usage in May Streaming Usage Up 71% Since 2021, with YouTube, Netflix and Other Platforms Showing Dramatic Growth Over Four Years FAST Services Continue to Grow as PlutoTV, Roku Channel and Tubi Combine for 5.7% of TV Viewing in May NEW YORK – June 17, 2025 – Streaming reached a historic milestone in May as its share of total television usage outpaced the combined share of broadcast and cable for the first time ever, according to Nielsen’s monthly report of The Gauge™. Streaming represented 44.8% of TV viewership in May 2025, its largest share of viewing to date, while broadcast (20.1%) and cable (24.1%) combined to represent 44.2% of TV. This month also marks four years since the launch of The Gauge, which debuted with the May 2021 report. As audience viewing habits—and the media landscape at large—have rapidly evolved over that time, The Gauge has continued to serve as the industry benchmark for tracking how people spend time watching television. When comparing TV usage in May 2021 and May 2025, it’s clear that streaming has been the dominant viewing format with a usage increase of 71%. And while broadcast and cable viewing have declined (down 21% and 39%, respectively, compared with May 2021), traditional TV has shown surprising resilience. “It’s fitting that this inflection point coincides with the four year anniversary of Nielsen’s The Gauge, which has become the gold standard for streaming TV measurement,” said Karthik Rao, Nielsen CEO. “It’s also a credit to media companies, who have deftly adapted their programming strategies to meet their viewers where they are watching TV – whether it’s on streaming or linear platforms.” Along with the 71% increase in streaming usage, six additional streaming services are now reported in the list of platforms that exceed a full share point of TV usage. The original list included Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Prime Video and Disney , and has expanded to 11 platforms in May 2025. Among subscription services, Netflix has gone wire-to-wire as the leading SVOD provider in total TV usage for four straight years. Netflix’s viewership has climbed 27% since May 2021, and the streamer owned the biggest day in streaming history, thanks to two exclusive NFL games it live streamed on Christmas Day 2024. Many programs—and by extension, other distributors—have also benefited from the SVOD giant through The Netflix Effect, where licensed content becomes an even bigger hit when distributed on the platform. Exemplified by memorable streaming hits like Suits (Netflix / Peacock) and Young Sheldon (Netflix / Max), this month’s top streaming title, You, (4 billion minutes) was one of the first examples of the Netflix Effect in 2018. Free services have been a major driver of streaming’s overall success. Most notably, YouTube Main (excluding YouTube TV) has exhibited steady, significant growth and is up over 120% since 2021. YouTube represented 12.5% of all television viewing in May, its fourth consecutive monthly share increase and the highest share of TV for any streamer to date. Additionally, FAST services have become increasingly popular, and three have reached the reportable threshold in The Gauge. PlutoTV, Roku Channel and Tubi combined for 5.7% of total TV viewing in May, which is larger than any individual broadcast network this interval. The continued transformation of traditional media companies into streaming-first entities has also been a strong contributor to the growth of streaming. Platforms like Hulu, Paramount and Peacock have expanded their accessibility to create crucial points of connection with streaming-native audiences, complementing rather than competing with their linear counterparts. This trend extends beyond original and catalog content, too, demonstrated by successful simulcasts of sporting events like Super Bowl LIX on FOX and Tubi, and the 2024 Olympics on NBC and Peacock. Virtually all subscription-based platforms now have ad-supported components as well, which are creating a critical new element to the television landscape from an agency and advertiser perspective as they seek to reach streaming-centric consumers. While the milestone of streaming exceeding traditional TV viewership is almost certainly not permanent, it presumably will be in the near future. This trend could continue into the summer months, but the balance will likely shift back—at least temporarily—as football kicks off and a new broadcast season returns. The May 2025 interval included dates 04/28/2025 through 05/25/2025. Nielsen reporting follows the broadcast calendar with measurement weeks that run Monday through Sunday. About The Gauge™ The Gauge™ is Nielsen’s monthly snapshot of total broadcast, cable and streaming consumption that occurs through a television screen, providing the industry with a holistic look at what audiences are watching. The Gauge was expanded in April 2024 to include The Media Distributor Gauge, which reflects total viewing by media distributor across these categories. Read more about The Gauge methodology and FAQs.

Pop Culture/Music/Streaming Flashback 'Beatles '64' Beatles-Mania Lives Again! Director David Tedeschi and producer Margaret Bodde advise their documentary, Beatles '64, on Disney attempts to educate the viewer the impact the band had on fans in the '60s. The filmmakers began with previously rare footage Albert and David Maysels filmed of The Beatles on their 1964 trip to New York to perform on famed The Ed Sullivan Show. Tedeschi and Bodde also interviewed people in the industry, such as music producer Jack Douglas and critic Joe Queenan. They even catch up with fans! Fellow musicians like Sananda Maitreya, Ron Isely and Smokey Robinson also reflect on The Beatles in the film. Bodde said many of their participants had a history of sharing insight into the British super group. "We did a lot of research on who had said really interesting things about the profound impact that the band had on their lives and that they still carry with them," Bodde said. One of the questions probed in the 1964 footage and addressed in contemporary interviews is: Why did the fans scream for The Beatles? Author and filmmaker Jamie Bernstein, daughter of the famed composer, Leonard Bernstein, is one expert who offers an answer. "It was such a visceral experience, these young girls didn't have a language to express it in any other way except scream," Tedeschi said of Bernstein's explanation. Bodde credited co-producers Apple Corp, The Beatles' company, with connecting the filmmakers with fans and collectors. Joe Sherov filmed The Beatles arriving by limo with an 8mm camera, and that 8mm footage is in Beatles '64. "There's a young man who is running alongside the limo shooting [video] into the car where the Beatles are," Bodde said of Sherov. "That took a while, though, to get to that point where you were actually going to be able to utilize some of that footage." The filmmakers interviewed Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr in the present. Tedeschi said the singer and drummer were refreshingly forthcoming. "In the British Embassy, Paul says they're being badly treated, they're treated like they're low class by these posh embassy employees," Tedeschi said. "Paul says, 'You know what? We didn't give a flying *uck.'" The filmmakers also visited McCartney at his Eye of the Storm photo exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. Starr was also taking photos during their 1964 trip to the United States. "We're lucky that they were such a phenomenon that there are so many photographs," Bodde said. "All of that visual documentation allows them to live those moments, I think, a little bit more clearly." The surviving Beatles learned something new about their history during those interviews. Starr was presented with a small piece of plywood that supported him on the stage at tours, which he never noticed while playing. "It's emblematic for me that Ringo's response when he sees that little strip of wood that is the only thing keeping him from falling off the rostrum is, 'I only fell off once. It only happened one time,'" Tedeschi said. Beatles '64 also shows that the band was not universally beloved in the '60s. Some parents forbade their children to listen to or watch The Beatles. "There was an establishment that just didn't like The Beatles," Tedeschi said. "You have the great war correspondent, Eric Sevareid, doing a piece for CBS where he compares the reaction to the Beatles to the German measles." Bodde pointed to an insight the late John Lennon shared in a television interview included in the film. Lennon says people have resisted rock 'n' roll since the beginning of the genre. "There's just something about rock 'n' roll that was very threatening to the establishment," Bodde said. "It's just a little too wild, a little too sexual, something that couldn't be controlled apparently." News via Grok "Beatles '64" is a documentary film directed by David Tedeschi and produced by Martin Scorsese, focusing on The Beatles' first visit to the United States in February 1964. Here's a detailed overview: Release Date: The documentary was released on Disney on November 29, 2024. Content: The film captures the cultural impact of The Beatles on the United States during their historic three-week visit, which included their debut performances on "The Ed Sullivan Show." It combines never-before-seen footage, including intimate behind-the-scenes moments, with newly filmed interviews of surviving Beatles members, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and fans from that era. Footage: Much of the documentary uses footage originally shot by Albert and David Maysles for their 1964 documentary "What's Happening! The Beatles in the U.S.A." This footage has been digitally restored in 4K by Park Road Post, providing a fresh look at the events. Live performances from The Beatles' first American concert at the Washington Coliseum and their appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" have been remixed using advanced audio separation technology. Significance: The documentary highlights the unprecedented excitement and hysteria, known as Beatlemania, that swept across the country upon their arrival, illustrating the band's rapid ascent to global superstardom. It also examines the personal dynamics of John, Paul, George, and Ringo during this pivotal moment. Production: Besides Tedeschi directing and Scorsese producing, the film includes contributions from Olivia Harrison, Sean Ono Lennon, and others close to The Beatles' legacy. The soundtrack album from the documentary was released a week before the film, on November 22, 2024, featuring studio recordings relevant to their 1964 performances. Reception: The documentary has received positive reviews for humanizing a mythologized moment in pop music history, with critics appreciating both the archival footage and the contemporary reflections on the Beatles' impact. It holds a 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 12 critics' reviews, with an average rating of 7.1/10. Cultural Context: Posts on X around the time of the documentary's release and other related announcements also celebrate this period of The Beatles' history, highlighting their influence on music and culture in America and the significance of their 1964 visit in the context of the British Invasion. This documentary serves as both a nostalgic trip for fans and an educational piece for those interested in the history of music, particularly the phenomenon of Beatlemania.

Set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s, The Electric State follows Michelle (Brown), an orphaned teenager navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots –– who once served peacefully among humans –– now live in exile following a failed uprising. After a sudden visit from a sweet, mysterious robot named Cosmo (voiced by Alan Tudyk), Michelle must journey across the country in an effort to find her genius younger brother, who she’s long believed to be dead. Along the way, she reluctantly finds herself teaming up with Keats (Pratt), a low-rent smuggler, and his wisecracking robot sidekick Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie). As they venture into the Exclusion Zone, a walled-off corner in the desert where robots now exist on their own, Keats and Michelle find a strange, colorful group of new animatronic allies — and begin to learn that there may be something even more sinister afoot. To bring the complex robotic world based on Simon Stålenhag’s graphic novel to life, directors Anthony and Joe Russo assembled a group of voice and motion capture actors, who share the screen with their human counterparts. In fact, there are more motion capture performances in the film than real humans. “It’s never been done before, this fusion between live action and animation,” producer Angela Russo-Otstot told Netflix. “There’s more CGI animation happening than Anthony and Joe did on their biggest films at Marvel. It was a really beautiful opportunity for all of these artists to come together — the visual artists who helped create the robots and the technical artists who helped get them to their final rendering. The voice artists brought these characters to life in postproduction, but the motion capture actors are the ones who gave the robots their soul.” Read on to meet the cast who will guide you through the world of The Electric State, which streams on Netflix March 14.

‘Madden’ Teaser Reveals Nicolas Cage as NFL Legend John Madden The cast for David O. Russell's film also includes Christian Bale, Kathryn Hahn, Sienna Miller, John Mulaney and Shane Gillis. By Abid Rahman December 26, 2025 The first teaser trailer for David O. Russell‘s John Madden biopic has been released, and hoo boy is it sure to get NFL fans and gamers excited. Amazon MGM Studios released the official teaser for Madden on Christmas Day, and in the clip we get our first proper look at an appropriately large and boxy looking Nicolas Cage playing the great man himself, an NFL legend who served as head coach of the Oakland Raiders and also had a long and successful stint as a commentator and later a pop culture icon through the Madden NFL video game series. The film tracks Madden’s journey from humble beginnings to coaching the Raiders to the Super Bowl in 1976 and later finding further success on television, video games and becoming a reliable pitchman for a wealth of advertisers. The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that the film will serve as more of an origin story of Madden NFL, one of the biggest video game franchises of all time. Joining Cage in the film is fellow Oscar-winner Christian Bale, with the Brit actor seemingly immersing himself once more to play Al Davis, the owner of the Raiders during Madden’s time with the team.

Streaming News December 11, 2025 YouTube Notes NEM Zagreb Conference US Pay-TV market snapshot (Omdia data for end 2025): Charter: 11.4 million subscribers Comcast: 10.6 million subscribers YouTube TV: 9.3 million subscribers US Pay-TV market forecast (Omdia data for end-2027): YouTube TV: 10.4 million subscribers Charter: 10 million subscribers Comcast: 9.2 million subscribers “This is an historic moment in US TV history, with the largest pay-TV operator about to be a virtual provider,” said Rúa Aguete. “YouTube TV has evolved into a comprehensive pay-TV bundle, offering linear channels, premium networks, and major sports properties — including exclusive NFL Sunday Ticket rights. This is not just a streaming service; it is the new face of US pay-TV.” YouTube’s dual power: A global video giant and a US Pay-TV leader Rúa Aguete emphasised that YouTube’s influence extends far beyond YouTube TV’s subscriber base. The broader YouTube platform, with almost 3 billion global users, is the world’s largest video ecosystem by a significant margin. “Netflix may reach 300 million subscribers globally, but compared with YouTube’s 3 billion users, it is not a dominant global player,” Rúa Aguete noted. “YouTube operates at a scale no subscription service can match.” This dual positioning — as the world’s largest video platform and the soon-to-be [potentially] #1 US pay-TV operator — gives YouTube a unique advantage in the rapidly evolving media landscape. The streaming market: Fragmented, competitive, and rapidly evolving The latest Omdia data also shows the highly fragmented US streaming market. Despite its size, Netflix will account for just 15.7 per cent of total US SVoD subscriptions by the end of 2025, underscoring the competitive nature of the industry. “The idea of Netflix as a dominant streaming service is a myth,” Rúa Aguete said. “Consumers are distributing their attention — and their spending — across a wide range of platforms.” US Streaming Leaders in 2025 (Omdia): Netflix: 88.7 million subscribers Prime Video: 64.7 million subscribers Disney : 55.8 million subscribers Paramount : 49.4 million subscribers HBO Max: 29.7 million subscribers Media Man Int Streaming News mediamanint.com/streaming_ne… Hottest On TV mediamanint.com/hottest_on.h… TV News mediamanint.com/tv_news.html Media News mediamanint.com/news2.html #Streaming #StreamingTV #YouTube #StreamingWars #SocialMedia #Broadcast #Broadcasting #Audience #Audience #Entertainment #PopCulture #Biz #trend #buzz #media #mediaman #XEntertainment #XTV #XStreaming #XBiz
