In the battle for glory at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, two leading contenders have emerged: the powerful feudal lords of 17th-century Japan and the beleaguered cooks of a contemporary Chicago eatery. “Shōgun” and “The Bear” cruise into the Emmys with a ton of momentum thanks to glowing reviews and loyal fandoms. How to watch the EmmysThe three-hour telecast from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles kicks off live at 8 p.m. He is a four-time winner at the Primetime Emmy Awards and a two-time winner at the Daytime Emmy Awards, most recently for his guest role on the soap opera “Days of Our Lives.”The list of presenters hints at a possible reunion of the stars of the NBC political drama “The West Wing,” perhaps tied to the 25th anniversary of the show’s debut.

CNN —A short but tense distribution dispute between Disney and DirecTV came to an end Saturday after the two sides agreed to a new deal that will restore Disney-owned channels, including ABC, ESPN and FX, to the satellite TV provider. DirecTV stopped airing Disney-owned channels on September 1, denying sports fans the ability to watch NFL games on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” and US Open tennis on ABC. The companies said the distribution deal will include new options for customers, including new packages that include the Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ streaming services. DirecTV will also be able to distribute the forthcoming ESPN standalone streaming service at no extra cost to DirecTV customers. Last week, DirecTV filed a complaint Saturday with the Federal Communications Commission alleging Disney did not negotiate in good faith.

The 32-year-old actress, singer, investor and entrepreneur just achieved the financial milestone thus making her one of the youngest self-made billionaires in the United States, according to Bloomberg, which values her net worth at $1.3 billion. But her following has also helped her Rare Beauty line, putting her in the celebrity-led category of makeup brands dominated by Rihanna and the Kardashians. Gomez also has reportedly reached out to investors for Rare Beauty, seeking a $2 billion valuation. Gomez’s representative didn’t immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.

Consumers who cut their cable cord in recent years are finding that there's one thing about linear TV they can't escape: political ads. With the U.S. presidential election less than 70 days away, campaigns are swarming streaming services like Roku and Hulu to such a degree that connected TVs are seeing more ad spending than internet platforms such as Facebook and Google . That's according to data provided to CNBC by political ad analytics firm AdImpact, which started tracking the connected TV (CTV) category in 2022. "When voters say they are watching TV, they don't' say 'I'm watching broadcast." AdImpact currently projects that overall political ad spending for the 2024 election cycle will be as high as $10.7 billion.

In fiscal 2022 and 2023 combined, Disney's experiences unit, which houses the parks, generated 67.5% of the company's operating income. That represents a significant deceleration in growth from its first and second quarters, when operating income rose 8% and 12%, respectively. Nispel argued that negative sentiment around Disney's theme parks performance could be a reason to have less conviction on the stock in the near term. The more excitement around its movies, the more interest in everything from theme parks to streaming services to branded merchandise. Operating income, in particular, rose more than $350 million year over year to $254 million.

WBD's direct-to-consumer segment still loses money, and its streaming revenue actually declined 6% from last year — even though Max added 3.7 million subscribers. WBD added 3.9 million streaming subscribers abroad last quarter, thanks to its rollout across Europe ahead of the Olympics, which the company broadcasts outside the US. If that service attracts enough cord-cutters, it could help stop the bleeding in WBD's fast-declining pay TV business in a best-case scenario.
