This is the best summary I could come up with:
“You know, as we talk to consumers, they find it difficult, and so I think one of the things that we’re going to see as we look into the future is bundling,” Zaslav added.
He gave the example of Max’s recent experiment to offer content from AMC Networks for a limited window.
“If we can get a result soon, then the longer-term impacts will be minimized, but there are real industry challenges here,” Zaslav said, though he added that the company believes writers and actors should be paid “fairly” and be “valued” by their corporate partners.
As for the ongoing Charter Spectrum-Disney dispute, Zaslav acknowledged that “it feels like this is a moment,” but he noted that the outcome of the showdown remains to be seen, and that his company does not have any major deals coming up until 2025.
“I think we’re one of the good actors in the industry that’s spending a lot of money still in linear because we believe in it.”
