Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

This was the February earnings call event with CEO David Ellison and Paramount Presidenf Jeff She’ll speaking to investors.

A few things stood out:

  • Paramount+ wasn’t mentioned in the article nor were the legacy IP franchises that the previous owners and management almost always stressed

  • The underperforming film side of the conglomerate was called out

  • Pluto is viewed as having been underdeveloped despite being an early free ad-supported streaming television leader and will be a priority

  • investors are concerned about upcoming major pro sport licence renewals

  • Despite being under investigation for allegations of providing insider trading information, Shell is still firmly in place as president of Paramount.

It's wild that this once lauded and respected film studio is now talking about NFL rights deals, why is everything so mixed up now, it's fucking stupid.
