Screentime

Streaming Services Aren’t Hiding Hits. They Are Hiding Bombs.

Companies are spending a lot of money on shows people aren’t watching.

Good afternoon from Los Angeles. I’ve returned home after a month on the road. You’re getting this a day late because, as often happens when I go to New York, I got sick at the end of my stay. (I am fine.)

Now for some good news: We’ve booked a couple more speakers for the Screentime conference in the fall. Bang Si-Hyuk, chairman of South Korean music giant Hybe Co. and producer of BTS, will join us onstage. As will Neal Mohan, the CEO of a small video site called YouTube.
