Happy Pod Day Peaceniks!

This week on The Media Odyssey, Marion and I compare notes on Hulu + Fubo = Fulu; OMG’s looming consumption of IPG; and we each put our chips on which Media players will buy whom in the next 12-18 months, including:

  • Why EA and Take-Two should merge (btw EA’s earnings yesterday prove my point to a tee!).

  • Who would be better to buy Roku: Apple or Microsoft?

  • Should UK Public Service players consolidate?

  • What’s the alternative to Media M&A?

Also, in the pod, I mention data that shows 70% of major M&As fail. However, last week, I posted updated data that shows that trend has actually reversed. So, I wanted you to have the latest and greatest merger research.

Once again, we are sending all positive thoughts to our friends in LA affected by the fires. If you want to help Angelenos, please consider donating to World Central Kitchen, who is feeding folks displaced by the flames as well as LA’s firefighters and first responders.

Enjoy the weekend!
