IN THE NEWS

Credit rating agencies S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service were generally positive about Paramount Global’s proposed merger with Skydance, but voiced concerns regarding uncertainty over the programmer’s linear networks. Skydance and Paramount agreed on Monday to merge in a deal valued at $8 billion, which is expected to close in Q3 2025. S&P Global said Tuesday that while the deal was “positive” it would continue to monitor the transaction because of the long lead time to close and concerns over the decline of linear TV, according to Deadline. Moody’s placed Paramount debt on review for possible downgrade because of “secular pressures” on its linear networks which could force its hand to lower its rating or require a new strategy for the company before the deal closes, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Skydance has said the deal includes a large cash infusion to help Paramount pare down debt.

NBC announced premiere dates for its fall season, kicking off September 23 with “The Voice,” featuring new coaches Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé, followed by freshman scripted series “Brilliant Minds” Starring Zachary Quinto.

Missouri became the 14th state to oppose franchise fees for streaming services after Governor Mike Parson signed legislation Tuesday exempting streaming providers from paying separate local use fees in addition to those already levied on video service providers. Missouri joined Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Tennessee in a bipartisan consensus against imposing these fees, which could force consumers to pay a 5% tax on top of the subscription costs for every streaming service they choose. DirecTV is one of several providers that have opposed the fees and has worked with state legislatures and programmers to fight against proposals it says harms consumers and robs them “of more choice, control, convenience, and value.” In a blog post, DirecTV said it applauded the Missouri action, adding that it “should put to rest any further notion that franchise fees apply to consumers who choose to stream their content.”

The Hollywood Creative Alliance announced the 2024 Astra TV Awards nominees Tuesday, with FX Networks’ “The Bear” taking the lead with 15 nominations, followed by Max’s “Hacks” and Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” with 13 each.
