Exploring the Latest in Streaming and Digital Media
Lorne Brown, CEO of SintecMedia, discusses Netflix's pivot away from movies and towards TV shows. Brown also touches on Fox News's new streaming service, Fox Nation, and how media companies are planning to contend with the duopoly of Google and Facebook.
Brown says Netflix is focusing on its strengths and thinks this pivot is a smart move. He says Netflix only needs to have a few hit movies every year to be considered a success.
Brown also explains there's plenty of room for Fox Nation, Fox News's new standalone streaming service. He says it's a way for Fox News to expand its audience.

A new poll finds U.S. adults are more likely than they were a year ago to think immigrants in the country legally benefit the economy. That comes as President Donald Trump's administration imposes new restrictions targeting legal pathways into the country. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey finds Americans are more likely than they were in March 2024 to say it’s a “major benefit” that people who come to the U.S. legally contribute to the economy and help American companies get the expertise of skilled workers. At the same time, perceptions of illegal immigration haven’t shifted meaningfully. Americans still see fewer benefits from people who come to the U.S. illegally.

Shares have regained most of those losses early Tuesday in premarket trading.
