‘It's in some ways a back-to-the-future moment for cable, where lower-cost radio simulcasts used to fill otherwise undesirable hrs. Before Morning Joe, MSNBC simulcasted Don Imus. Now the format is seeping into far more lucrative time slots’

‘Ultimately, I believe that, even though ChatGPT has captured the world’s attention, it is Gemini that will be the ecosystem to beat for Apple. It always comes down to iPhone versus Android after all. Only this time, Apple is the one playing catch-up.’

‘"YouTube continues to be the leader in streaming watchtime and podcasts," the company noted in its 4Q earnings. That's a glancing, anodyne statement. But it's also meaningful: I've never seen Google mention podcasting in its messages to Wall St before.’
