There is little desire to upend a business worth an estimated $50 billion. The NFL alone generated about $5 billion from its TV deals in 2018. ESPN is the most expensive cable network in the U.S., and has charged higher prices, even as people leave cable for streaming. People who don’t like sports have always paid for cable networks they didn’t watch. The nature of a cable or satellite package is you pay $80 or $100 for a bunch of channels, some of which you like and some of you don’t. While a growing number of people have decided this bundle doesn’t work for them --  cord-cutters! -- more than 80 million households still pay for some kind of cable or satellite package.

Stand-up comedian and podcast host Tom Segura is receiving backlash from wrestling fans for inflammatory comments made about the industry on a recent episode of his Your Mom’s House podcast he hosts alongside his wife—and fellow comedian—Christina Pazsitzky Taking the anti-wrestling status quo of reminding viewers that the product is fake, Segura did not hold back during an unabashed takedown of pro wrestling and those who consume it: “I think wrestling is for [expletive]. But so many people like it, it is the [expletive] stupidest [expletive], and I think you’re a [expletive] tool if you’re like ‘hey man, it’s not fake!’ It’s [expletive] fake, and you’re a [expletive] idiot.” WWE Twitter Lashes Out At Comedian Tom Segura For Anti-Wrestling Commentary https://www.forbes.com/sites/alfredkonuwa/2020/05/08/wwe-twitter-lashes-out-at-comedian-tom-segura-for-anti-wrestling-commentary/#332c62963992 Support KOP by:  Sending a PayPal donation by going to https://www.paypal.me/kingofpodcasts Visiting KOP’s special

How Buying Your Cannabis Might Change After The Pandemic. More Delivery Than Dispensary? Inc.com says "with the Covid-19 pandemic in full swing, every industry is feeling pain; however, the cannabis industry has a unique set of challenges as well as opportunities in this crisis. " Shelter-in-place and social-distancing orders have meant that customers are not going into retail stores. Many dispensaries have moved to curbside pickup.

Crediting “a person familiar with the matter,” the premium VOD release of “Trolls World Tour” generated $100 million in revenue in three weeks  — more than the original “Trolls” did in its time in theaters in 2017. And in case that wasn’t clear enough, a quote from parent company CEO Jeff Shell took a highlighter to it:  “As soon as theaters reopen, we expect to release movies on both formats.” AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron doesn't like that idea. In an open letter to Universal Filmed Entertainment Group chairman Donna Langley, he declared AMC Theaters will no longer play any Universal films effective immediately. Regal Cinemas joined in, saying it won't show films that don't offer exclusive windows.

Las Vegas and Orlando are highlighted, what Post-Pandemic Prep is in store for Theme Parks and Casinos. Change is barreling toward Orlando’s theme parks and attractions, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. Adjustments will be made in many ways — perhaps in every way — experts and analysts say.

We're All In This Together? Celebrities In Quarantine Are So Fake! KOP explains: "Celebrities are said to be just like us, but if you're feeling a little resentful of the rich and famous right now, you're not alone. Global health crises have a way of throwing social inequality into sharp relief.

A Karen is someone who tends to throw a fit at a business in an attempt to get extra service. Oftentimes, this is expected to be a middle-aged woman with a very short haircut who often asks to speak to the manager despite the fact that the service given to them has been exactly what they paid for.

At the same time, she has been running her own boutique production company, “Pope Productions.” Local journalism is failing in the United States. Many of us learn in school that a free society requires a free press, but we rarely reflect on what it actually means to lose the fourth estate.

KOP looks at the bias of Chaotic Coronavirus News Coverage by Corporate Establishment Disserves Public and Local Journalists. Local journalism is failing in the United States. Many of us learn in school that a free society requires a free press, but we rarely reflect on what it actually means to lose the fourth estate. Democracies need independent, fact-based journalism to provide a voice for a diverse range of people, to watchdog the powerful, and to keep members of a society informed. Study after study has found that without access to local news, people are less civically engaged and less likely to vote. The demise of local newspapers — which are still by far the main source of original reporting in their communities — is also linked to a rise in local corruption and an increase in polarization, as news consumers rely more on partisan-inflected national outlets for their information. Bail Out Journalists. Let Newspaper Chains Die. The coronavirus is likely to hasten the end of advertising-driven media, our
