After 54 years together, The Grammys will leave CBS. Tough loss for CBS, but it's not surprising that they left for Disney. • CBS' parent company Paramount Global has been in disarray • Streaming matters more. Disney+ and Hulu have more reach than Paramount+ • The Recording Academy has made several big changes to modernize I explained in more detail why CBS lost the Grammys in our Trapital memo: https://lnkd.in/e_c6DfVd What are your thoughts on the move to Disney?

Worth the share - always essential to know where mind of audience is.

Paramount has inked a deal that will see its Paramount+ streaming platform launched and pushed through MultiChoice Group in Africa. I joined BusinessDay TV's Noluthando Mthonti - Mlambo to highlight why this deal is important and where it fits into the strategies for both entertainment giants. The licensing deal will create a Paramount+ portal on MultiChoice's platform. For now, the two companies did not say how the branded destination will work or be served to MultiChoice’s customers. This will most likely be done through Showmax, where a dedicated section for Paramount content already exists. In addition, the group could create a dedicated channel on DStv or section on DStv Now with content specifically from Paramount.  MultiChoice, the target of a recent takeover bid by France’s CANAL+ Group, has been doubling down on its online streaming efforts, signing several deals in the past two years in a bid to set up Africa’s largest paid TV operator as the biggest gatekeeper to paying audiences who stream content.

Apollo wants to add Paramount by subtraction In what is likely the most serious bid so far, Apollo Global Management, Inc. has apparently made an $11 billion offer for ONLY Paramount's studio assets - TV and film. That's a 27% premium on Paramount's current valuation, and the offer leaves out all the company's networks and streamers - CBS, Nickelodeon, Paramount+ & Pluto TV. On one hand, Apollo has just complicated Redstone's life. This is a hard offer to look away from, but it would make it far more difficult to sell the other assets, without the IP that makes up their backbone. On another, this offer shows a valuation that is far closer to the company's actual worth than at the $9 bil Wall Street currently values it. I don't think a deal like the one offered will close. But interest seems to be climbing, and based on this tender, so will Paramount's stock price and value, I imagine. https://lnkd.in/eMtg9ta7
