She's the younger Sister of Frank Redstone(Born 1950), Nickelodeon's COO from 1984-1998. He also co founded the MTV Networks,Inc IPO with Fred Seibert and Alan Goodman(Who both Founded MTV in 1981 under Warner Amex, Nickelodeon also started under Warner Amex in 1979.) Although Frank was next in to take the Chairboard Position at Viacom International in 1998 to succeed their Father Sam "Summer" Redstone after his younger sister Shari, Viacom's Brass chose Herb Shelbert over Frank in which the falling out let to him living Viacom permanently.

I have to admit, watching all these media companies and video game studios merging into giant conglomerates and slowly collapsing under their own bloated weight over the last few years has been morbidly fascinating. I know that it's going to have some definite economic repercussions for a number of reasons, but how often do you get to see an entire industry just fall over like this?

That's all that was ever going to happen anyways. Every industry has a Big Four.

@wolfumz Ай бұрын

@@NotKimiRaikkonen they only reason every industry has a big four is because we stopped enforcing fair competition and antitrust laws for the last 40 years. If you enforce these laws to keep markets competitive, its pretty rare for an oligopoly to emerge, as it was for the 70 years we enforced these laws. We treat concentration of capital like its this inevitable thing that's a normal feature of a healthy market, but it's not. Many, many problems in America have roots in our choice to not enforce antitrust, and our inability to adapt antitrust laws to modern technology. Share buybacks used to be illegal, and US economy had a giant middle class.

Monopolistic Sony? Their movie business is so much smaller than it used to be. Disney and Netflix have way more IP Also, the Sony deal is a mess anyway. There will be legal issues since it's an international firm, so they are planning to sell most of the business and only use whatever IP they can. They can't own CBS so that part of the business will be sold.
