When will that happen? It’s coming on the first Wednesday in May. The ESPN and ABC Owned Stations parent plans to share its fiscal Q2 ’25 results bright and early in the morning on Wednesday, May 7, with an earnings call for shareholders and financial analysts planned for 8:30am Eastern. The report will come amid extreme economic uncertainty, with new tariffs on all imported goods implemented April 3 potentially upending visibility as the company takes stock of its previous full quarter of its fiscal year. In fiscal Q1 2025, nervous analysts reacted to the company’s revelation that it experienced a notable decline in the number of streaming subscribers. With much riding on the success of Hulu + Live TV and Disney+ — especially today, as it is poised to purchase FUBO with the collapse of the Venu Sports joint OTT plan with FOX and Warner Bros. Discovery — flat Hulu Live TV + SVOD performance in fiscal Q1 sounded the alarms. With shares trading at close to $87 in pre-market trading on Friday (4/4), Disney has successfully beaten Wall Street earnings expectations in the last three quarters. For fiscal Q2 2025, Disney has an EPS estimate of $1.21, a composite of some 22 analysts polled by Yahoo! Finance. That would result in flat year-over-year growth. The revenue consensus estimate from data of 20 analysts polled by Yahoo! Finance is $23.17 billion, representing a 4.9% rise. This suggests Disney must control expenses. And, if the tariff war escalates, that could result in some serious belt-tightening for CEO Bob Iger.  ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://rbr.com/abc-owned-stations-parent-sets-fiscal-q2-release-date/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Scale Logic and Cinegy Team Up Gets NAB Show Spotlight</title> <link>https://rbr.com/scale-logic-and-cinegy-team-up-gets-nab-show-spotlight/</link> <comments>https://rbr.com/scale-logic-and-cinegy-team-up-gets-nab-show-spotlight/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[RBR-TVBR]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 04 Apr 2025 12:21:42 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Tech Roundup]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cinegy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tv4]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://rbr.com/?p=292925</guid> <description><![CDATA[<img width="150" height="120" src="https://rbr.com/wp-content/uploads/unnamed-203-e1743769159451-150x120.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="float: left; margin-right: 5px;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://rbr.com/wp-content/uploads/unnamed-203-e1743769159451-150x120.jpg 150w, https://rbr.com/wp-content/uploads/unnamed-203-e1743769159451-274x220.jpg 274w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" />Since an initial announcement at IBC2024 in Amsterdam, the collaboration, they say, "has matured into a powerful alliance that helps broadcasters and media companies modernize their operations while significantly reducing technical overhead and infrastructure costs."]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="150" height="120" src="https://rbr.com/wp-content/uploads/unnamed-203-e1743769159451-150x120.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="float: left; margin-right: 5px;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://rbr.com/wp-content/uploads/unnamed-203-e1743769159451-150x120.jpg 150w, https://rbr.com/wp-content/uploads/unnamed-203-e1743769159451-274x220.jpg 274w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" />Cinegy, a provider of software-defined television technology, is gearing up to showcase its strategic partnership with Scale Logic, known for its high-performance storage and workflow products designed for media organizations.

Winners will be honored at the awards ceremony on June 10 at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. The Celebration of Service to America Awards, presented by Bonneville International and Hearst Television, is part of the foundation’s mission to recognize local broadcasters’ public service and emphasize the “vital role” radio and TV stations play in communities across the country. “Every day, local broadcasters demonstrate why they are essential to our communities,” said NAB Leadership Foundation President Michelle Duke. “From being first on the scene during catastrophic events and guiding people to safety during natural disasters, to raising awareness on critical local issues and delivering food and supplies to those in need, television and radio stations are always there when it matters most, serving the public. We are excited to share their impactful stories at the 2025 Celebration of Service to America Awards gala in June.” <hr /> The following is the list of honorees by category: Service to Community Award for Radio – Broadcast Ownership Group Beasley Media Group, Community of Caring Service to Community Award for Television – Broadcast Ownership Group The E.W.

In particular, the company will demonstrate the products PPDS offers that empower TV studios and newsrooms across the globe. PPDS will be in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, at SL3905. And, it is a certainty they’ll be sharing more about the recent installation of a 28×8 curved Philips dvLED production wall inside the new 4,000-square foot PBS Appalachia Virginia studio in Bristol, Va. PPDS worked with FX Design Group and Digital Video Group (DVG). Built inside the Hard Rock Casino, and featuring a 46-foot glass public viewing window, PBS Appalachia Virginia is the nation’s first all-digital public TV station — and also the first television network affiliate located inside a casino. Capable of presenting content in resolutions beyond 8K, Philips Unite LED 6000 Series, which will be showcased during NAB Show 2025, was chosen by the PBS Member station and installed in less than one week. Described as a “milestone moment” in media innovation and “the most spectacular studio within a 500-mile radius” by Julie Newman, the PBS COO and General Manager for PBS Appalachia Virginia, an official ribbon cutting ceremony was held on March 24.  ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://rbr.com/ppds-preparing-for-its-nab-show-stage/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Here’s The New President/CEO For LPM</title> <link>https://rbr.com/heres-the-new-president-ceo-for-lpm/</link> <comments>https://rbr.com/heres-the-new-president-ceo-for-lpm/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Adam Jacobson]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:15:48 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Media Moves]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Media News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Louisville Public Media]]></category> <category><![CDATA[radio2]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://rbr.com/?p=292894</guid> <description><![CDATA[<img width="150" height="120" src="https://rbr.com/wp-content/uploads/unnamed-202-150x120.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="Kenya Young" style="float: left; margin-right: 5px;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />Louisville Public Media (LPM) has selected its next President and Chief Executive Officer, effective May 19.
