Deep dives
Impact of Strikes on the Television Industry
The recent strikes by Hollywood actors, which caused significant economic losses and job cuts, have finally come to an end with a deal reached between SAG-AFTRA and studios. While the long-term ramifications of the strikes are yet to be seen, there is speculation that companies may prioritize cost-cutting measures and cleaner content production. Additionally, the negotiation timing is seen as crucial in addressing the potential impact of AI on the acting community, allowing them to adapt and prevent excessive job cuts in the future.
Shifting Landscape of Television Advertising
Earnings reports from companies like Disney and Warner Brothers Discovery reveal a contrasting picture in the TV advertising market. While connected TV and online platforms like Netflix and Alphabet show strong results, traditional television advertising is viewed as a weakness. This raises questions about the value and relevance of TV advertising, with the growth of streaming services and the migration of viewers to platforms like Netflix. Except for sports, which still performs well, the entertainment industry has seen a shift toward streaming services, with more creativity and dollars now directed towards these platforms.
