I am still reading up on the proposed FCC changes to LPTV and what that means to LP stations. Check out the article from Advanced Television Broadcasting Alliance on more details. What are your thoughts on these proposed changes?

TV shows offer MORE opportunity now than ever before! Our format easily solves the four factors of control, distribution, funding, and creativity. We provide the right partners a unique opportunity to create, film, and distribute their show, within a family of similar shows called, "Dad Downstairs". Imagine a TV show with REAL LIFE situations, that millions of parents and families face, where EACH city has their cast and crew and YOU are the Executive Producer in that city! Family drama, a spice of humor, and different casts in each market worldwide! That is the formula for "Dad Downstairs". The new drama com features a divorced couple, raising their children, each living in a duplex in the same house! Most TV shows portray divorced couples in sitcoms, often at the expense of the ex-wife ("Judith" in Two and a Half Men). Few portray the challenges divorced couples face; raising their children, and trying to heal from hardship and trauma. Most use one parent or the other as a scapegoat, making them look bad, to create humor, shaping the false reality of how these couples NEED to communicate better for their healing and their children. Let's change the narrative to healing pain, NOT just entertainment! Cast yourself in the lead role, choose your cast and crew, then write your scripts! Invite the mayor or governor for a cameo role. Get the city tourism and local merchants involved. Film in local hotels, restaurants, and city locations, promote where you live and work, and be a hero in your town! Hire local actors and crew. CREATE JOBS in your city or state, and be a show co-creator of a hit TV series! We are looking for EPs in EVERY city and country with D2C streaming. We created ``Dad Downstairs`` for worldwide distribution. Think of "Real Housewives" and how that concept flourished and is in 21 markets now. This show concept has a broader appeal to a wider demographic worldwide! We offer a 90% revenue stream in your market AND help with marketing and distribution from the 10% share we retain, all with a nominal license fee. Each EP in that market can create their script, cast and crew, union or non-union, film, edit, and finish as many episodes as they desire. We offer a marketing platform where they can receive income, ``direct to consumer`` (D2C) the first week the show is done and downloaded! Each EP has its dashboard to monitor their income stream and can even allocate a percentage of the income in that market to investors, sponsors, partners, or supporters. They too get their dashboard to keep track of their earnings! The best part is you can withdraw your money any time you wish, every DAY if you want! That is your choice. Every market of ``Dad Downstairs`` family drama, has a different cast and crew. Remember, YOUR script will differ from ours too.

“Not a single organization representing journalists and news workers agreed to this undemocratic and secretive deal with one of the businesses destroying our industry.” This is another missed opportunity for meaningful progress and a reminder of Big Tech’s continued unchecked dominance. It also makes abundantly clear that the need for federal action is now more urgent than ever. It is past time for Congress to pass the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), a bipartisan bill that would give broadcasters and other news publishers the power to come together and negotiate fair terms with Big Tech for how their content is used online. The size of tech platforms like Amazon, Facebook and Google dwarfs local TV and radio stations. These tech giants act as gatekeepers of online content, controlling how consumers access news, and how news publishers are compensated for the use of our content. At the same time, they also siphon away advertising revenue that would otherwise be reinvested into local journalism. The platforms exploit their dominant market position, making it harder for broadcasters to sustain their operations while benefiting from the valuable content created by local stations.  News is costly to produce, and stations invest significant resources to keep reporters in their local communities. The business practices of the tech giants prevent local stations from recouping their investment in local journalism, as these platforms exert enormous influence over what online content is eligible to be monetized. Big Tech controls the share of revenue they retain and the amount passed on to the content providers, who ironically bear the costs of producing the quality journalism that benefits the platforms. The bipartisan JCPA will level the playing field, allowing TV and radio stations to continue their vital work in producing trusted, fact-based journalism. With the upcoming elections, we need strong local newsrooms to keep Americans informed. In fact, the Swing State Project found that a majority of Americans trust their local broadcasters more than any other medium for election news. Local broadcast stations know the communities they report on, they drive on the same roads, take their children to the same parks and cheer on the same local sports teams as their audiences. From covering city council meetings to the high school football game to the upcoming election, broadcasters provide verified news and information Americans can trust. Local newsrooms need a level playing field to work with Big Tech. Congress needs to pass the JCPA – our democracy depends on it.

"We believe in the resonance of knowledge." "And we believe that our writing will move the entertainment technology industry." But We can't do it alone. The Direct Media Lab is the only entertainment technology news media lab in the country. The lab may have the same name, but it's a little different than the others (we call it a strength). We always try to be at the forefront of issues. We ask what we think about an entrepreneurial issue, problem, or social discourse before it happens; It's too suffocating to do in a small organization, but it's also the most meaningful thing you can do to make your presence felt. But it's hard to be at the forefront of the discussion, so you need friends I'm looking for a friend to discuss and cover the entertainment technology space with. The qualifications below are basic, but if I may be so greedy, I'd like to add one more "Together with DirectMediaLab, we will be at the forefront of these discussions." We look forward to your support. P.S. Now you only need to remember three things: FAST, AI, and sports.

This is an interesting and insightful film industry article. I am currently producing a few feature films with international co-production partners for theatrical release. Whilst it's always very difficult due to increased costs including needing a much larger budget to include the necessary marketing funding to ensure, and improve the films chances of a successful outcome on release! It's worth mentioning that not all feature film's are suitable for a theatrical release for a variey of reasons including that the story may not be high concept enough to secure a paying audience. There is plenty of room for all feature and factual film content in the market place. The decision to whether an individual film is destined for theatrical release starts firstly by how strong the story' premise, and that the film has the ability and potential to drive a paying audience to the cinema. It's possible to negotiate with a studio to secure soft money! In my case, streamers is only a second window option once my feature films completes it's release run.

California Production Coalition: Fighting to Keep Hollywood Filming in California. https://lnkd.in/g-BtDZgq Entertainment Partners is excited to be part of the California Production Coalition to ensure California remains THE place to film! California has phenomenal resources and over 100 years of experience in productions. Excited to see this coalition being launched today! It's very important to note, Productions in California bring high-paying jobs and economic activity to every part of our state. And I'm proud to be part of the fight to protect that. Are you ready to join the fight for film, TV, and streaming production in California?   Along with nearly early three dozen film, television, and streaming production businesses and associations have formed the California Production Coalition to advocate for policies that strengthen California’s film industry. It’s a pleasure to be working alongside other businesses to improve conditions for filming in our home state. The group, including members like the Motion Picture Association (MPA), Television City Studios, and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, aims to address declining production activity, which has been slow to recover after the pandemic and last year’s strikes.   Representing prop houses, equipment leasing firms, payroll companies and other service providers, the coalition is focused on expanding California’s film tax credit program. Their first priority: supporting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposal to increase the annual program from $330M to $750M. This expansion could boost local jobs and revenue, building on the $961.5M in tax revenue and over 110,000 jobs supported by the credit between 2015 and 2020, per the LAEDC.   The coalition, which began organizing last summer, aims to educate policymakers and the public on the benefits of keeping productions in-state. They also advocate for reducing red tape to make California more competitive with rivals like Georgia, New Mexico, Canada, the UK and Australia.   With production volumes down 17% globally and reality TV shoots in Los Angeles declining by 56%, coalition members warn of the economic ripple effects on businesses that rely on a thriving production ecosystem.   The coalition’s mission: ensure that Hollywood’s legacy and economic contributions remain rooted in California, while creating a stronger, more competitive future for the state’s film and TV industry.   https://lnkd.in/gxXi4BuQ https://lnkd.in/gxXi4BuQ Entertainment Partners #CaliforniaProductionCoalition #CaliforniaFilmIndustry #TaxCredits #Hollywood #jobs

The Cumulus compensation ploy • May 2nd Cumulus had their annual shareholders meeting and they were not talking about what their angry investors did. • They approved one thing – their account firm. • When asked to re-elect their board of directors, a surprising and resounding outcome. • The company is still laying employees off and shrinking operations so when they asked shareholders to show a financial vote of confidence in them, an even greater surprise. • What’s really going on here – a questionable debt exchange deal, a second bankruptcy and a growing rift between investors and their top management. https://lnkd.in/gQRZYCWq
