Yeah, but you know, uh, and I hear Jimmy Bob, but I I also keep thinking about the price of sports rights, which obviously you guys know better than anybody, just keep going up. I mean, the UFC just went to Paramount for twice what you guys were paying. Um, you're competing against Amazon, you're competing against Apple, you're competing against Alphabet and Netflix.Uh, I guess I just wonder, do you see yourself being able to do that over the long term. ESPN's in a very unique position, as you know. No one ...

Aaron, first off, welcome to the pod. Very glad to have you here. You've been a pro at this for so long.What anticipation are you feeling going into this season. I actually just opened up my email before I got on here and saw that we got our first kind of big email for week one of the season. We do a ton of prep heading into football season and we do a ton of prep during it as well.I've enjoyed the time off. I, you know, I'm I'm going to not love getting back on an airplane so much, but it's also great to b ...

and changing quickly. Here now with more Tom Rogers, CNBC founder, now a contributor, senior adviser of Versent, which will soon be our parent company along with a hundred other titles we don't have time to get to. Tom, thanks for joining us.Nextar Intega, again, corporate names. Our viewers have no idea who they are, but they own a lot of local TV. What would that deal, if it happens, mean for television.Well, you need some regulatory change here. The courts have started to help. It looks like the FCC is u ...

ESPN and Disney both struck MEGA acquisition deals this week.@joepompliano joins me to explain what is going on with the NFL and WWE assets as part of these deals. https://t.co/aZuPCYa9iD ...

You mentioned two things. I want to ask questions about both. One is the NFL.Uh my understanding has been and I know this there was a change in control provision uh at uh CBS in terms of the ownership there that the NFL could come to you and say, "Hey, we're going to get out of the deal unless you give us more." My understanding is you have reached a deal with the NFL. I don't know what you're paying them. Is that is that correct.You have reached a deal and can you tell us what it cost you. So, so, so what ...

They were ever so slightly amiss in terms of general revenue growth of just 2%. But it really seems to be the old school part of the business that let them down. Yeah, the traditional part of the business in terms of, you know, the movie studio, the cable and broadcast channels are all, you know, continuing to show decline.And that, you know, has been offset somewhat by the growth in streaming and then parks, which have been very strong. Felix. Streaming is many parts, but listening to Bob Iger on the call ...

So, we're going to dive deeper into the Disney overall thirdarter earnings beat. Robert Fishman is a media at Moffett Nathansson, media analyst there. He's got a buy rating on Disney and a $140 price target.Uh, Robert, I don't know if you caught much of the conversation that we just had with regard to the NFL and ESPN, but just how important for the Disney quarter was the TV side of things as opposed to the theme parks, streaming, and all the other stuff they've got going on. Yeah, as you alluded to that th ...

Why are shares lower after what Geetha just described was a pretty blowout report. I mean, I think you've got to sort of step back, first of all. I think blowout might be a strong word.I think the reality is Disney stock has obviously had a nice little run over the course of the last six months. I think the company definitely I don't want to say was sandbagging. But, you know, if you listen to Hugh Johnson, Disney's CFO, he certainly was keeping you know, he didn't raise expectations after last quarter's pr ...
