Guess Stanley and WB can’t touch this, nothing left to sell off. This is why AT&T can’t play in the same sandbox.

lets see here. rob capital from the side of the company balance sheet that creates 50% of the companies revs and profits, which stunts growth and crushes any hope of beating competition to market with new tech. take that money now and pump it in to a high risk screen production. Makes total sense. connecting people. thats what we do right?
ATT sold my yard that has been in use since the early 60’s , they then leased it for 2 years , and now construction and maintenance is being moved to C.O. parking lots. The only reason we still have central offices is because Randall and Stankey can’t figure out how to get rid of them without the PUC finding out !!! It blows my mind how we were feed endless c––p from Stankey, for 11 years , of how he was maneuvering us into the future , and how we had better bone up on the latest technology to keep ourselves relevant going forward !! None of what Randall said came true ! He destroyed a great company and the board , and Stankey , brought the dunce back on as a paid advisor !!!

Amazon is spending for growth and moving forward. Stank and his cronies are screwing employees and enriching themselves. Huge difference.
@ @dkd+1apOw1PM
Well the difference is Amazon won’t have to cut jobs after spending half a billion for a show. Watch, the ratings for this one season will be 2x higher than ALL of HBO max subs.
Regardless, T can’t compete.
“The company said during its earnings call Wednesday that WarnerMedia lost $1.2 billion in revenue and $500 million in a key profit measure because it kept “Friends,” “Big Bang Theory” and “other popular shows” for itself instead of licensing them to other streaming companies. WarnerMedia's revenue fell 3.3% to $8.92 billion in the fourth quarter, and the profit measure dropped 7% to $2.6 billion.”
Can’t make this s–t up
I imagine if we did spend half a billion on one season of a tv show you all would be wining about the number of jobs that would have paid for
Sounds like Kilar might not get his 52 mil after ISS votes against his compensation...maybe they can put those funds toward something more meaningful that that loser!
ATT has Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, Monica and The Monkey Marcel. Don't worry the Margins in Friends T Shirts, Magnets, and Coffee Mugs are sky high in the PowerPoint.
