accn is just a cost center, this is big picture
this discussion is minimizing expenses and increasing revenues. This is NOT personal, its business. and as any prudent CEO needs to do for shareholders, they have to make more profit. And the streaming and cable linear broadcasting world is flatlined. (also in streaming, big media liked streaming because it cost them less to pay writers and actors for the show, than the linear world) (that's why the actors and writers/directors are striking. What the business accountants see is 1) streaming expenses will be escalating as cost to develop content grows, with a price sensitive subscription model 2) linear business with cable is flat lined with expenses going up for rights to sporting events while they are getting push back from cable and satellite services are pushing back on their ability to pass on costs to the subscribers, and 3) over the air TV is facing the same, with the cost for content at the same time they have pushed the limited for advertising dollars.
We will see....
