The @NFL is readying to re-enter rights talks w/ @CBS, @DisneyABCTV, @NBCUniversal, @NFLonFOX and @amazon. + @MLB and @NHL are resetting in '28. @NextTMT 's @DavidBloom talked about the coming frenzy w/ sports media pros Patrick Crakes and Lucas Bertrand. https://t.co/ASFn1awdQg

This week, @NextTMT talks to Vert-I-Go's Dana Protsyshak about the fast-growing micro-drama sector. Why are micro dramas suddenly so popular? How are they being monetized? And how many stories about getting kidnapped by mob bosses can the market support? https://t.co/7bD0t4pjxZ

This week's Next TMT newsletter is here, diving into the SuperBowlympics of relentless hype (also, sometimes, sports); media earnings, two very different new movies from people named "M," Khaby Lame's big payday, and so much else.

AI is crushing media valuations.
Publishers have lost a third or more of their traffic from Google’s AI summaries — and it’s freezing media M&A deals.

@InsideUSC Clay Helton was 9-3 his first full season. Beat Notre Dame and UCLA. Ran off eight straight. Won the conference and was there to take the Rose Bowl when James Franklin handed it to him. That was a successful season. 10-3/9-4, loss to Notre Dame, no playoff, no big upset? Meh.

OpenAI isn’t just burning GPUs — it’s burning electricity. ⚡
why the company’s massive power bill may become the next big tech backlash, with AI data centers driving energy costs higher.

@HawkGuyEnjoyer Did not know Iowa had this obnoxious of a trolling fanbase when we left the Pac-12. These mediocre hayseeds even make Stanford kids look cool.

@Adam_Bradford14 Let this shit roll off your back, Adam. Stop apologizing for trying to do your job. Stop worrying about lame fanboys on social. Hit em hard again Saturday. These guys are late on delivery and they need to hear it.

@InsideUSC @latimes I mean, shit on the Overpaid Carpet Bagger all day long for all I care ... but how about a little somethin' for Musselman's effort?

[Next TMT @NextTMT]

So ... apparently this happened. I see NOTHING about it in the local paper (@latimes) or enthusiast blogs (@InsideUSC).

If you weren’t here in November don’t bother showing up in March

CuriosityStream is printing money with AI 😳
They’re licensing nature + science IP to LLMs and getting 50% rev-share.
Smallest streamer… biggest brain move.

@Insidetheirish That's cool. One thing we don't need is bloated yokels of South Bend lending their callow support.

@TheRealThelmaJ1 I once ate at one of The Gamber's NYC establishments. That was good chicken.

@ByCodyHills You are what your record says you are.

[Next TMT @NextTMT]

@Hassel_Chris Gotta say, of all the Big Ten fan bases, I'm least impressed with Iowa's. Whiney bitchy group of trolls.

[Next TMT @NextTMT]

@HawkeyeLincoln That's really mean and stupid.
