CNN —Netflix, the dominant player in streaming, is expected to announce its first-quarter results on Thursday after enjoying months as a Wall Street darling. But much of the company’s past growth and success, analysts say, has come from its old, well-established business model. In recent months, Netflix has made moves to expand and even radically reinvent that business. Last year, Netflix made a particularly risky bet by pushing users who share passwords to create their own accounts — but that paid off. Netflix’s reinventionFor Netflix, last month’s Oscars were a disappointment: Though the streaming service led its rivals in nominations, it took home just one award, for best live-action short film.

CNN —Netflix, the dominant player in streaming, says it grew sales, profits and added more than 9 million subscribers as it revealed first-quarter results on Thursday. In total, Netflix now has 269.6 million subscribers, a record high. In recent months, Netflix has made moves to expand and even radically reinvent its business in an effort to juice profit. In January, Netflix announced it had acquired the exclusive rights to "WWE Raw" live, currently seen on Comcast's USA cable network. In January, Netflix’s president of advertising, Amy Reinhard, shared that Netflix’s ad-tier had more than 23 million users.

Former Electronic Arts mobile gaming executive Mike Verdu joined Netflix as vice president of game development in 2021. Getting existing subscribers to download and play mobile games is a challenge, though, Benes noted. As of September 2023, Netflix's games have been downloaded 70.5 million times, globally, according to data obtained from Apptopia. The beta rollout to limited users Canada and the U.K. included Oxenfree from Night School Studio, a Netflix game studio, and Molehew's Mining Adventure, a gem-mining arcade game. But Netflix is not looking to be a console replacement, Netflix gaming executive Verdu previously told Tech Crunch.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLOS ANGELES Oct 19 (Reuters) - Streaming pioneer Netflix (NFLX.O) showed resilience by gaining more quarterly subscribers than in the past three years despite strikes by Hollywood's writers and actors, sending its shares up 13.5% in premarket trading on Thursday. Shares rose to $393.45 in an indication that the company was set to add nearly $21 billion to its market capitalization. "The management deserves an Emmy for managing investor expectations," Bernstein analysts wrote in a note, adding that paid-sharing has opened up a bigger-than-expected market of potential subscribers for Netflix. "Due to its large international presence, Netflix is positioned better than most entertainment companies in plugging programming gaps from the writers' and actors' strikes," said Insider Intelligence principal analyst Ross Benes.

The only profitable major streamer, Netflix has resisted joining rivals like Walt Disney (DIS.N) in hiking ad-free prices this year and instead curbed password-sharing outside households to tap the more than 100 million viewers who use its service without subscribing. It could hike prices after the end of the Hollywood actors strike, a media report said earlier in October. So far, most viewers subscribing to Netflix after the password crackdown have opted for the ad-free plans, analysts said. "Using these tactics, Netflix will likely double its ad-supported viewership next year," said Insider Intelligence analyst Ross Benes. Revenue in the third quarter likely rose 7.7% to $8.54 billion, the fastest growth in five quarters, thanks to strong programming that included the latest seasons of "Sex Education" and "Virgin River".

CNN —The cable bundle is losing its biggest edge over the streaming competition: live sports. For years, live sports and news have been the cornerstone of the immutable cable bundle. Max is set to launch a live news channel next week, with the birth of CNN Max, the first cable news network to offer a 24/7 live streaming news service. With live news and sports now making their way to streaming, piece by piece, the Jenga puzzle of the cable bundle has started to destabilize. Once ESPN is available directly to consumers, the decades-long grip of the traditional cable bundle will surely fade considerably.

All of this turmoil will be on investors' minds as the media industry kicks off its earnings season this week, with Netflix up first on Wednesday. Netflix, with a new advertising model and push to stop password sharing, looks the best positioned compared with legacy media giants. At the top of the list is contending with Disney's TV networks, as that part of the business appears to be in a worse state than Iger had imagined. The labor fight blew up just as the industry has moved away from streaming growth at all costs. Last week's ruling from a federal judge that Microsoft's $68.7 billion acquisition of game publisher Activision Blizzard should move forward serves as a rare piece of good news for the media industry.

TOKYO, June 13 (Reuters) - Toyota (7203.T) faces an unprecedented challenge at its annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday, with some pension funds voting against Chairman Akio Toyoda on governance issues, while seeking more disclosures on the Japanese automaker's climate lobbying. Two prominent U.S. proxy advisers have flagged concern about Toyota's board independence. The step comes as companies across Japan face more pressure from investors, especially on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. The strong financial performance has meant concerns about board independence have largely been shrugged off, said Kazunori Suzuki of Waseda Business School. He enjoys strong support from individual investors and the many suppliers and Toyota group companies among its shareholders.

Amazon plans ad tier for Prime Video streaming service - WSJ

June 7 (Reuters) - Amazon.com (AMZN.O) is planning to launch an advertising-supported tier of its Prime Video streaming service, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The WSJ report also said Amazon was holding discussions with Warner Bros Discovery (WBD.O) and Paramount Global (PARA.O) about adding the ad-based tiers of their streaming services through Prime Video Channels. "In recent years, Prime Video has gotten more aggressive about running promos prior to its shows and including ad-filled sports broadcasts," said Ross Benes, Insider Intelligence principal analyst. Sports coverage on Prime Video already comes with ads. "Officially putting ads into Prime Video allows Amazon to centralize its audience and be more consistent with branding," Benes added.

"In recent years, Prime Video has gotten more aggressive about running promos prior to its shows and including ad-filled sports broadcasts," Insider Intelligence principal analyst Ross Benes said. "Given these developments, putting midroll and pre-roll in Prime Video programs isn't that big of a step." Right now, Prime Video is available on its own for $8.99 per month, but most people get it bundled with Amazon's Prime membership, which runs $14.99 per month (or $139 per year). "Amazon is discussing a variety of ways it could introduce ads in Prime Video, people familiar with the matter said," Toonkel wrote.

Social Security disability benefits are generally available to workers who have earned enough credits through payroll taxes — typically 40 credits, though younger workers may qualify with less. Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, is a federal benefit available to disabled individuals who may not qualify for Social Security disability based on their work records. Allsup, which works with NASA, helped Perry get his Social Security disability benefits application approved. "That can really make or break a Social Security disability case," he said. Social Security disability benefits are aimed at long-term conditions.
PRAGUE, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Czech power utility CEZ is in talks to raise the capacity it has booked at a new Dutch liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, Chief Executive Daniel Benes said on Czech Television on Sunday. Benes said CEZ would also seek damages from Russia's Gazprom for failing to meet its contract obligations in gas supplies. CEZ has booked 3 billion cubic metres per year in LNG import capacity - about a third of Czech annual consumption -- at the new Dutch LNG terminal at Eemshaven, and has started receiving first shipments through there.

He said CEZ would seek damages, which he said in the order of hundreds of millions to low single billions of crowns, through arbitration.
Advertisers will spend $19.90 billion upfront in the 2021-2022 TV season, an increase of 7.6% over the previous cycle. Our upfront TV ad spending forecast includes TV ad spending resulting from the national primetime TV upfronts. In June 2020, we had forecast a 27.1% decrease in that season's upfront TV ad spending. We now estimate just a 3.5% dip, however, as advertisers spend $18.50 billion on upfront commitments with TV networks. When we compare the 2020–2021 season with the cycle two years prior, we see about a $2 billion drop in upfront TV ad spending.
„Odată cu apariţia vaccinurilor eficiente şi sigure împotriva coronavirusului, OMS studiază temele legate de vaccinarea călătorilor internaţionali. Am dori să amintim că folosirea unui certificat internaţional este o chestiune reglementată prin normele medicale şi sanitare”, a menţionat Beneș, citat de DCNews.ro. Potrivit lui, acest subiect „se află pe agenda Comitetului Internaţional pentru reglementări medicale şi sanitare”. Expertul a menționat că sunt analizate aspectele ştiinţifice, juridice şi etice ale acestei iniţiative. OMS lucrează în prezent pe trei domenii: recomandarea de vaccinare pentru persoanele care intenţionează să călătorească,acolo unde este posibil, adoptarea de către ţări a unor restricţii sau cerinţe de vaccinare pentru persoanele care călătoresc şi schimbul de informaţii între ţări cu privire la procesul de vaccinare.

Vaccinul este în drum spre țări și trebuie să ne pregătim pentru vaccinare, specialist OMSOrganizarea vaccinării populației este o prioritate națională de control al infecției COVID-19 și trebuie de asigurat ca vaccinul nu doar să vină într-o anumită țară, ci și să fie păstrat și utilizat corect, să existe cerere pentru el și ca grupurile de risc să obțină vaccinul în primul rând. "Vaccinul este în drum spre ţări şi trebuie să ne pregătim pentru vaccinare”, a declarat, într-o conferință de presă, Oleg Beneș, specialist superior al departamentului de vaccinare la Biroul Regional pentru Europa al Organizației Mondiale a Sănătății, transmite IPN. Pentru a face vaccinul accesibil pentru toate țările, OMS participă la inițiativa COVAX. Acum țările lucrează intens pentru a primi acest vaccin și pentru a-l folosi cât mai efectiv, în primul rând pentru lucrătorii medicali, precizează specialistul de la OMS. Subiectul cu privire la ce fel de vaccin vor avea acces diferite țări va fi discutat cu fiecare țară în parte.
