Today on the show Loren LoRosa breaks down what might be the clearest sign yet that traditional television is officially on its way out. From the Oscars announcing a historic move from ABC to YouTube beginning in 2029, to The Breakfast Club and other major podcasts partnering with Netflix, the entertainment industry is undergoing a massive streaming-first shift. Lauren unpacks what these deals really mean for Hollywood, legacy studios, creators, and audiences—why old-school media can no longer fight the digital wave, and how streaming platforms are redefining power, access, and storytelling. She also explores how this evolution opens the door for a new generation of creators, especially those who understand internet culture, audience engagement, and doing more with less. Is this the end of cable as we knew it? What happens when prestige institutions finally embrace platforms built for the internet? And how can creators position themselves to win in this new era?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
