Speaker 1: Lauren de Rosa. This is your DELI dig on all
Speaker 1: things pop culture, entertainment, news and all of the conversations
Speaker 1: that shake the room.
Speaker 2: Baby. Now today we are.
Speaker 1: Going to get into a conversation about TB about television
Speaker 1: or what is left of television because, as we all know,
Speaker 1: the way that we consume television is completely different today
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: Now, raise your hand out there, and of course.
Speaker 1: I can't see you, so that means you need to
Speaker 1: hit the like button comment below, yell at me on
Speaker 1: social media at Lauren Rosa, L R E N everywhere.
Speaker 1: How do you guys consume what would have been cable
Speaker 1: television content today? Because I mean, if I'm thinking about myself,
Speaker 1: I haven't had like actual cable TV. Wow, when is
Speaker 1: the last time I had cable TV? I think, Woh,
Speaker 1: can't you remember?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: It might have been right before the pandemic and even
Speaker 1: then I think, yeah, that was a streaming ish version
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't remember the last time I've paid like a
Speaker 1: Exfinity or wherever you are, whatever you know, city or
Speaker 1: state you live in, an actual cable provider to provide
Speaker 1: like TV that you turn on that isn't attached to
Speaker 1: Wi Fi. So yeah, y'all, let me know, getting right
Speaker 1: on into the latest, here's what's going down. So as
Speaker 1: I was driving in uh to the podcast, I begin
Speaker 1: to see the story. I got a notification from the
Speaker 1: Hollywood Reporter, And you know some of the other trades.
Speaker 1: Trades are the media outlets that announced like the shows
Speaker 1: and new businesses and new deals and things like that.
Speaker 1: That's what the trades are called. Shout out to Dame Dash.
Speaker 1: The title of this article is Oscars Bolts from ABC
Speaker 1: to YouTube. Starting in twenty twenty nine, the world's highest
Speaker 1: profile and most watched award show, which has aired on
Speaker 1: ABC since nineteen seventy six, will be moving to streaming
Speaker 1: only platform. Will be moving to a streaming only platform
Speaker 1: as a part of as a part of a deal
Speaker 1: that also includes red carpet coverage, the Oscar nominations, announcement,
Speaker 1: the Governor Awards, and more so, not even just to
Speaker 1: Oscar Awards show, but everything that leads up to the awards,
Speaker 1: So the Governor awards the Red Carpet, which is again
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here like they I know that they traditionally
Speaker 1: air a lot of the award shows on these like
Speaker 1: you know, very cable network ish channels, the ABC's, NBC's
Speaker 1: which all do have their own you know, streaming ends
Speaker 1: as well for the most part, or they team up
Speaker 1: with a streamer, like I know, like NBC does stuff
Speaker 1: with Peacock. Shout out to NBC New York for who
Speaker 1: we did a lot of our Diddy coverage with. In
Speaker 1: a lot of our coverage that we did there is
Speaker 1: on Peacock as well. But I was surprised to read
Speaker 1: this because I'm like, why wasn't there already a deal?
Speaker 2: I know, when I watch all Red Carpets and all you.
Speaker 1: Know, Grammys or whatever award shows just to cover it
Speaker 1: in news, I'm watching it via YouTube television.
Speaker 2: I have the subscription there.
Speaker 1: But even before I had that subscription to be able
Speaker 1: to see things live, like actually, like I'm paying for
Speaker 1: it to know I'll get it. I always knew that
Speaker 1: I could watch the Red Carpets live because they stream
Speaker 1: live not even just on YouTube, but like I know,
Speaker 1: a lot of platforms now go live on Twitter and
Speaker 1: have it set up literally on your Twitter feed or
Speaker 1: your x feed where you could just watch the Red
Speaker 1: Carpets from there, and it's a whole news broadcast.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think the deals are finally catching up with Times
Speaker 1: or something. But this report says in the news that
Speaker 1: will send shockwaves across the entertainment industry. The Oscar Ceremony,
Speaker 1: which has aired on ABC since nineteen seventy six, will
Speaker 1: be moving to YouTube starting in twenty twenty nine, so
Speaker 1: they have some time and we'll be broadcast by the
Speaker 1: streamer through at least twenty thirty three. The Academy of
Speaker 1: Motion Picture Arts and Scientists announced today, which is Wednesday,
Speaker 1: December seventeenth, The Disney owned Alphabet Network will continue to
Speaker 1: when y'all hear Alphabet boys, y'all either think about the
Speaker 1: irs or the community.
Speaker 2: You don't want to mess with. That's where I start laughing.
Speaker 1: Will continue to air the Oscars, which has long been
Speaker 1: the world's most watched awards telecast, through the one hundredth
Speaker 1: edition of the awards show in twenty twenty eight. After that,
Speaker 1: the ceremony will be available live and for free to
Speaker 1: cover to over two billion people around the world on
Speaker 1: YouTube and YouTube TV subscribers in the United States. Shout
Speaker 1: out to me YouTube TV subscriber I signed.
Speaker 2: Up a long time ago.
Speaker 1: As part of the newly inked deal, YouTube will broadcast
Speaker 1: not only the Oscars ceremony itself, which generated over one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars in revenue y'all this fiscal
Speaker 1: year which ended in June ended June thirtieth, And they'll
Speaker 1: also be broadcast a lot of other related content like
Speaker 1: what we talked about, the Red Carpet, the Governor Awards. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a big deal. I mean, it's a big deal,
Speaker 1: but it's like a duh thing. And I do know
Speaker 1: that there were like small things happening again, like I said,
Speaker 1: because you could watch all of like if not majority
Speaker 1: of the award shows at this point in the carpets
Speaker 1: prior to and in certain things via social media platforms live.
Speaker 1: So I know that a lot of these award shows
Speaker 1: they had to because it's literally like get rid of
Speaker 1: it or get lost.
Speaker 2: Like if you were not.
Speaker 1: Streaming something somewhere digitally at this point, you're burnt out
Speaker 1: like we are miles ahead of you. But to see
Speaker 1: the official deal go out this way, especially with the
Speaker 1: Oscars being such a big like and long coveted show
Speaker 1: number one, I think it shows, if I'm being completely honest,
Speaker 1: it shows that Hollywood is a little bit more reluctant
Speaker 1: to give in I think to where things are going.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of that is because of
Speaker 1: the studios. Now grant it, the Oscars isn't like a major,
Speaker 1: you know, studio production. You know, studios typically lean more
Speaker 1: into things like like big box office style films and
Speaker 1: you know, things of that nature. But I was reading
Speaker 1: about the deal that they were doing or trying to do,
Speaker 1: and it's very competitive. They're you know, direct op. The
Speaker 1: opposition is Paramount because Paramount also wants in on ownership
Speaker 1: of the entire Warner Brothers. One of the articles that
Speaker 1: I read across one of the trades, it was just
Speaker 1: talking about how a lot of the studio owners are
Speaker 1: like they're nervous and are saying that you know, a
Speaker 1: Netflix or a paramount you know streaming servicer picking up
Speaker 1: you know, a big entity like Warner Brothers, it almost
Speaker 1: kills the studios because you don't need the big Hollywood
Speaker 1: studios to do a lot of what we're seeing on
Speaker 1: these streaming platforms. Like I do think that there is
Speaker 1: you know, in a perfect world, there's always a way
Speaker 1: that you can make business work, right because if it's
Speaker 1: not broke, you're not gonna fix it. So like if
Speaker 1: you can take you know, the same initiative power infrastructure
Speaker 1: that a Hollywood studio has and lend it to a
Speaker 1: streaming platform, which a lot of them do, Like there
Speaker 1: are movies that goes to uh, straight to streaming.
Speaker 2: I know Tyler Perry does it. I know Amazon does.
Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of different you know, platforms that
Speaker 1: or Tyler Perry does. It would be a lot with BT.
Speaker 1: Plus he's also done it with Netflix. Netflix has done
Speaker 1: it with other studios and to has Amazon Prime. But
Speaker 1: for them to own such a big catalog of content
Speaker 1: in that way and be able to kind of almost
Speaker 1: like throw their weight around even bigger than they already got,
Speaker 1: I mean, their Netflix, it's already possible, but for them
Speaker 1: to do it even bigger and not need all of
Speaker 1: the other studios in Hollywood, I mean that's a win win.
Speaker 1: But I think other people are looking at it like
Speaker 1: this changes the industry so much because with one big
Speaker 1: conglomerate like a Netflix controlling all of that, you don't
Speaker 1: need as much, you don't need as many people because
Speaker 1: Netflix internally is able to build out their own production
Speaker 1: as well too, which is where a lot of the
Speaker 1: studios come in with bringing in the different production companies
Speaker 1: that they work with under their studios and the licensing deals,
Speaker 1: and you know, things are just shifting and they're changing.
Speaker 1: And I think what a lot of this is going
Speaker 1: to mean is that the antiquated way, right because think
Speaker 1: about the Oscars. The Oscars has been around since nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy six. The Oscars is so highly coveted and prestigious,
Speaker 1: and like everybody wants these awards.
Speaker 2: Everybody turns on cable television to watch it.
Speaker 1: And you know, regardless of how you're watching ABC at
Speaker 1: the time, you're watching the Oscars.
Speaker 2: It's just one of those things that you do. I
Speaker 2: think that it shows that.
Speaker 1: As regal and regarded as old, Hollywood wants to remain
Speaker 1: it is. It is like although we've come to the
Speaker 1: end of the road, like they can't fight what's happening.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're already behind and trying to, you know,
Speaker 1: do things any other way than what we've saw announced today.
Speaker 1: But when I saw the announcement today, I'm like this
Speaker 1: took for like why now, Like this is something that should.
Speaker 2: Have been happened.
Speaker 1: But I do know that they're you know, and there's
Speaker 1: a sense of if it's not broke, don't fix it.
Speaker 1: And I do think that there's a sense of it's
Speaker 1: almost like if you're a clothing designer and you've been
Speaker 1: sewing by hand and doing you know, cut and sell,
Speaker 1: which is like a very like you know, higher quality
Speaker 1: intimate process, you don't ever want to lean into fast fashion,
Speaker 1: which is you know where things are like produced very fast.
Speaker 1: The fabrics may not be as high quality, but you
Speaker 1: try and do your best to make it good. Right.
Speaker 1: You want to remain like the person who was like
Speaker 1: taking the time. But then you have all these companies
Speaker 1: coming in like a fashion nova, a Shean a T Mood,
Speaker 1: all these Instagram brands who are running circles around you
Speaker 1: because of the mass that they're able to produce and
Speaker 1: put out. You gotta keep up. I think what we're
Speaker 1: about to see now is old school Hollywood and just
Speaker 1: old school everything. Old school regimes and entertainment. They've already
Speaker 1: and I think especially since the pandemic, with people cutting
Speaker 1: budgets and creators realizing how much you could do with less.
Speaker 1: The old regime of how we produce content for the masses,
Speaker 1: whether it's audio or visual, there's no turning back after
Speaker 1: this year, Like you can't you can't.
Speaker 2: Even fake the funk anymore.
Speaker 1: But either way, it's good for us, right, It's good
Speaker 1: to see things moving changing, presenting more opportunities. You know,
Speaker 1: Oscar so White, it was some years ago now and
Speaker 1: they've been working ever since to do better. So there's
Speaker 1: more of that as well, because you know, black people
Speaker 1: be on the internet. Were there so Yesterday it was
Speaker 1: announced that The Breakfast Club is heading on over the Netflix,
Speaker 1: and then YouTube decided they wanted to pull up on
Speaker 1: the oscars and bring the Oscars back home too, like
Speaker 1: a GPO. Let's talk about what this means for content creation,
Speaker 1: for storytelling, shoot for me, Let's talk about it.
Speaker 2: Congratulations to the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: We talked about this today on the show The Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: along with Bobby Bones presents the Bobby Cast My Favorite Murder,
Speaker 1: which is a a hit original true crime show Derek Chelsea,
Speaker 1: which is a big podcast that Chelsea Handler has. Joe
Speaker 1: and Jada, which is y'all know if you don't know,
Speaker 1: Fat Joe and Jadakiss have a show where they sit
Speaker 1: down and discuss all things music, hip hop culture. This
Speaker 1: Is Important, which is a comedy podcast featuring the Workaholics
Speaker 1: Adam Devine and Andrews Home and Blake Anderson The Psychology
Speaker 1: of Your Twenties. It's also another show that you guys
Speaker 1: will see in this partnership on Netflix, Behind the Bastards.
Speaker 1: Stuff they Don't Want You to Know, which is a
Speaker 1: curiosity podcast with Matt Frederick, Ben Bolin, and Noel Brown.
Speaker 1: Stuff You Missed in History Class? Another curiosity podcast with
Speaker 1: Holy Frey and Tracy Wilson.
Speaker 2: Stuff to Blow Your Mind. Three and Out with John middlecof.
Speaker 1: Buried Bones, A History and true Let me tell you
Speaker 1: how when I got into podcasts and I learned quickly
Speaker 1: that true crime podcast tear it Up. Okay, take me
Speaker 1: through that, take me through there where we're going to
Speaker 1: and eat it up, Eat it up true crime podcasts. Okay,
Speaker 1: the genre kills it on the podcast side. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of true crime on this list.
Speaker 1: New Roy and Mau are also on the list. So yes, y'all,
Speaker 1: let me tell y'all.
Speaker 2: The new regime.
Speaker 1: Is here, like it is literally here because all of these,
Speaker 1: all of these things that I talked about today from
Speaker 1: the podcast, you'll still hear them wherever you originally begin
Speaker 1: to hear them.
Speaker 2: So Breakfast Club still on the radio every morning.
Speaker 1: But with Netflix coming in as a partner, it just
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're taking things to new heights, like
Speaker 1: it's no turning back at this point. Like if you
Speaker 1: were ever to deny where streaming was and how it
Speaker 1: was happening and how you were going to integrate it
Speaker 1: in a lot of those household shows and vehicles, don't
Speaker 1: even think about it.
Speaker 2: Just do it, that's the answer.
Speaker 1: So I google this cause I'm like, I know for
Speaker 1: a fact, so when I watch the Oscars, I don't
Speaker 1: have cable, so I know I watched it via streaming.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to understand what their partnership prior to
Speaker 1: this big announcement of them coming to YouTube fully in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine will look like. So, according to online research,
Speaker 1: the Oscars have historically been on broadcast television traditional broadcast
Speaker 1: television ABC like we mentioned, but they began partnering with
Speaker 1: streaming platforms in a limited capacity, so they did something
Speaker 1: with Hulu as a part of a larger Disney ABC
Speaker 1: corporate structure. The ceremony was available to stream on Hulu
Speaker 1: in the US in recent years, though some live stream
Speaker 1: viewers experienced technical difficulties. They also had some international partners
Speaker 1: that they partner with as well. The YouTube ce Neil
Speaker 1: Mohan said in a statement to Deadline, who is the
Speaker 1: trade that broke the news? Partnering with the academy to
Speaker 1: bring the celebration of art and entertainments of viewers all
Speaker 1: over the world or inspire a new generation of creativity.
Speaker 2: I told y'all, the new.
Speaker 1: Generation of content creator, of show producer, of what a
Speaker 1: studio looks like is here. You cannot get around it.
Speaker 1: This is the best time if you are of the
Speaker 1: new generation of content creator, or even if you don't
Speaker 1: create content, if you I mean, like if you're not
Speaker 1: the subject of the content or like the actual person
Speaker 1: coming up with the idea. But maybe you just work
Speaker 1: on a team that executed or whatever, and you are
Speaker 1: young and you understand the streaming and the Internet and
Speaker 1: you're able to I feel like with our generation, because
Speaker 1: we've been on we're really Internet babies, and I'm in
Speaker 1: that middle point where I kind of remember when like
Speaker 1: internet was like there, but like it wasn't what it
Speaker 1: was now, so like we had like I remember when
Speaker 1: you had to go and like print out your directions
Speaker 1: to get somewhere, so like you didn't have GPS for real.
Speaker 1: You could go on maps dot com and answer the
Speaker 1: address and it would tell you how to get there,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't updating you in real time on your
Speaker 1: phone or your tablet or whatever. I also remember there
Speaker 1: only being like a black planet and then a MySpace,
Speaker 1: and then Facebook came, and then Instagram came. I remember
Speaker 1: you could only post like I remember you couldn't post
Speaker 1: video Instagram at all, and then you could post like small.
Speaker 2: Like I think it was like ten or fifteen second videos.
Speaker 2: So we got to.
Speaker 1: See the evolution of a lot of the Internet. So
Speaker 1: it's kind of easy to predict. I don't know about y'all,
Speaker 1: but for me, when I see things like this, it
Speaker 1: makes me excited because I'm looking at this, like it's
Speaker 1: so easy to predict where things are going, and it's
Speaker 1: so easy to position yourself in a way where your
Speaker 1: business can grow and you can learn, you know, from
Speaker 1: the mistakes in the winds of other people around you
Speaker 1: as things grow, because you're able to keep in mind
Speaker 1: where things are headed. Because we've seen this before, like
Speaker 1: we've seen this evolution. Some people just late to throw
Speaker 1: in in the full twel The YouTube CEO continues to
Speaker 1: say that this one inspired that new generation of creativity
Speaker 1: and film lovers while staying true to the Oscar story legacy.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you guys so much for.
Speaker 1: Joining me today to talk about all things like new
Speaker 1: and y'all better get way to get lost or get
Speaker 1: out the way.
Speaker 2: Okay, I am excited.
Speaker 1: I think twenty twenty six, with everything that we're seeing
Speaker 1: in the news, is going to bring room for new opportunity,
Speaker 1: for new things to look forward to. But also too,
Speaker 1: I think, like I really just and this has been
Speaker 1: for some years now where I think, especially with at
Speaker 1: like once the writer strike hit, creators and content and
Speaker 1: storytelling has been in a very different place. I think
Speaker 1: people you know, sadly have had to figure out how
Speaker 1: to do a lot with a little bit, which is
Speaker 1: never good when you're talking about art because is you know,
Speaker 1: like when budgets get tight, people lose jobs, people are
Speaker 1: not able to do things that you know, for some creators,
Speaker 1: like it's creator die like, it's literally what you've lived
Speaker 1: your life to do, and your fallback plan isn't something
Speaker 1: that you want to ever have to fall back on.
Speaker 1: So when things get tight, people shut down, productions shut
Speaker 1: down studios, people lose jobs. It's never a good thing.
Speaker 1: But I think, you know, as we are seeing things
Speaker 1: like these, these partnerships happen. Although traditionally in the digital
Speaker 1: space teams are really smaller, I think it just you know,
Speaker 1: if I'm looking at the silver lining and all of
Speaker 1: this and the big lean towards you know, all of
Speaker 1: the big prestigious regimes fully leading and throwing themselves into
Speaker 1: the digital space and the streaming space, I think what
Speaker 1: it will do is it will create a lane where,
Speaker 1: you know, with us being able to just turn on
Speaker 1: our phone record and press upload and have a platform,
Speaker 1: it'll create opportunity in a lane where if you do
Speaker 1: that and you do it, you know with quality, you
Speaker 1: do it consistently. There's really really really big opportunity. And
Speaker 1: I keep using the word opportunity, but there's really big
Speaker 1: there's really big room for growth in partnership there, and
Speaker 1: it's for anybody Like I.
Speaker 2: I'm feeling again.
Speaker 1: Like the optimistic feeling that I had way before I
Speaker 1: started doing anything in entertainment. But I would literally just
Speaker 1: turn on some of my favorite shows or see my
Speaker 1: favorite it girls on the internet doing things and trying
Speaker 1: to figure out how did they do this? Like how
Speaker 1: are they living their lives just being themselves and telling
Speaker 1: stories that they love to tell. And you know, everything
Speaker 1: in all peaches and creams, a lot of peaches and cream.
Speaker 1: A lot of this is highlight reels. But you know,
Speaker 1: to be able to be a creator, or to work
Speaker 1: with creators, to be able to tell story is not
Speaker 1: something that anybody should take lightly. And I think whenever
Speaker 1: we see shifts in the industry, there's two things you
Speaker 1: can do. You can fight it, or you can figure
Speaker 1: out your positioning, your foundation, build it and let them come.
Speaker 2: And I'm excited to see what is.
Speaker 1: Built in this new rain, in this new era of
Speaker 1: streaming partnership for everybody all over the world, and who
Speaker 1: rises in it, the criminal crowd will rise and who
Speaker 1: rises in it? And I'm excited to be amongst the
Speaker 1: people in it. So congratulations to the Breakfast Club heading
Speaker 1: on over the Netflix, and I guess we'll be seeing you.
Speaker 2: Know you all let the Oscars on YouTube too. That
Speaker 2: was a little cheap little plug. Oscars, Invite your girl.
Speaker 1: I'm loring the rods that this is the latest with
Speaker 1: Laurna the rows of my Low Riders. You guys could
Speaker 1: be anywhere with anybody talking about all of these things,
Speaker 1: but if you choose to be right here with me,
Speaker 1: I will catch you in my next episode.
