Sony-NBC
from the super-big-media-conglomerates-getting-bigger dept
Story going around that NBC is talking with Sony about some form of tie-up between the two companies. I need to think about this longer to see if I really think it makes sense. My initial reaction is that I see where they're coming from, and can certainly see some advantages to doing it, but it's still two very big companies. Two very big companies often are used to getting their own way, and agreements between the two might have questionable results. Who knows?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
