Disney also agreed to drop eight of its less-viewed networks, signaling the end of bloated cable TV bundles. Broadcasters could negotiate fees that included adding new cable TV channels. The new type of bundle deal combining traditional channels with streaming services provides a way forward for the media business. Pity the cable TV channels that few people watch, said one TV station group executive. Paramount Global has created numerous spin-offs of its main cable channels, with Nickelodeon siring five programming offspring, Nick Jr., Nick at Nite, TeenNick, Nicktoons and Nick Music.

North Brother Island is a 22-acre piece of land in New York City that has been abandoned since 1963. Less than a mile from Manhattan — one of the priciest and most densely populated places in the world — sits North Brother Island, a mysterious island that people abandoned more than half a century ago. New York City owns the 22-acre plot, which pokes out of the East River between the South Bronx's industrial coast and a notorious prison: Rikers Island Correctional Center. It's illegal for the public to set foot on North Brother Island and its smaller companion, South Brother Island, without permission from the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. In 2017, producers for the Science Channel obtained the city's permission to visit North Brother Island, and the crew invited Business Insider to tag along.
