What was once one then became two only to become one once more. After spending 13 years as separate entities, CBS and Viacom are coming back together as ViacomCBS. And in this age where streaming is currently king, this merge might prove to be beneficial for both parties as more and more entertainment giants are launching their own streaming services. More on the report below.
On this week’s Drill Down podcast #448 “Bad Hombres,” Donald Trump is insecure, but Peter Thiel is still supportive. Tesla goes fully autonomous, Netflix takes over Hollywood (and CBS steps up to challenge), and Red Dead Redemption shoots for 2017…and much, much more!
Half-hour political comedy programs The Daily Show and The Colbert Report will return to U.S.-based streaming media site Hulu effective immediately, according a blog post written by Hulu CEO Jason Kilar discussing the company’s new deal with Viacom.
Episodes will become available on the site the morning after they premiere on the network and remain available for about a month. Additionally, both programs will be made available via Hulu Plus, the company’s premium subscription service that allows users to stream select programming to mobile and set top boxes like the Roku Player.
