BET and the Future of Small Streamers
Matt is joined by Puck contributor and analyst at Parrot Analytics Julia Alexander to talk about Paramount selling the BET, a rare instance in which a media conglomerate sells an entire network and streaming service. They discuss why Paramount is selling BET, rumored potential suitors like Tyler Perry and Diddy, and the argument for small streamers to be in the hands of independent owners instead of major media conglomerates. Matt finishes the show with a prediction about \u2018John Wick: Chapter 4.\u2019\n\nRead Julia's article on Puck here!\n\nFor a 20 percent discount on Matt\u2019s Hollywood insider newsletter, \u2018What I\u2019m Hearing ...,\u2019 click this link: puck.news/thetown\xa0\n\nEmail us your thoughts! thetown@spotify.com\n\nHost: Matt Belloni\nGuest: Julia Alexander\n\nProducer: Craig Horlbeck\nTheme Song: Devon Renaldo\nLearn more about your ad choices.
