The second half of season eight launched last night. “Suits has played an instrumental role in our network’s DNA for nearly a decade,” said Chris McCumber, President, USA Network and SyFy.

Comcast reported 4Q18 revenue was up 26%, to $27.8 billion, a bump assisted by NBCUniversal revenue increasing 7.1%, to $9.4 billion in the quarter. NBC saw a 19% jump, to $11.4 billion. Brian L. Roberts, Chairman and CEO of Comcast, called 2018 “a successful and pivotal year.”

After Comcast revenue results were announced, NBCU CEO Steve Burke said of the company’s upcoming Bonnie Hammer-led, ad-supported streaming service, “I think a lot is going to be on our platform but we will continue to sell to other platforms, depending on the show and the prices we can command for those products.” The service is slated to debut in 2020.

Speaking of NBC’s digital plans at NATPE, NBC Entertainment Co-Chairman George Cheeks said, “The company has been very thoughtful about how we go into the market. Netflix chasing is not a strategy. All of these major media companies approaching this, it’s not a one-size-fits-all strategy.”

Verizon Media Group is laying off seven percent of its staff, a cut that affects about 800 employees.

An LA court ruled that Sumner Redstone, now 95, had the mental capacity to make changes to his estate in 2015 and 2016. Redstone’s former companion, Manuela Herzer, alleged Redstone’s daughter, Shari Redstone, was making decisions on his behalf, putting into question her right to control over the family’s holding company, National Amusements, which has about 80% voting power in CBS and Viacom. “After three years of litigation, Mr. Redstone is grateful for today’s court confirmation of his capacity to execute his estate plan and of his free will in doing so,” said his attorney. “Now all he needs is a Patriots win.”

Scott Evans, senior correspondent for nationally syndicated daily entertainment news program Access, is joining Natalie Morales and Kit Hoover as co-host of the daily one-hour syndicated entertainment news talk show Access Live.
