Madison Ave doesn't blink over Megyn Kelly drama
Posted in: Uncategorized
Megyn Kelly’s short stint at NBC could soon be over, but Madison Avenue doesn’t seem to care.
The future of “Megyn Kelly Today” is in question after the host made offensive comments about blackface Halloween costumes earlier this week. But for advertisers, it’s just another blip of drama in a news marketplace that has become littered with calls for boycotts and demands to pull talking heads off networks. The show, moreover, has been bringing in poor ratings even before the incident.
“These things tend to get blown out of proportion and typically have lees of an impact on advertisers than the media thinks,” one media buyer says.

Amazon margins are earnings key as tech needs more good news
Posted in: Uncategorized
The worst month in nearly a decade for tech stocks has investors paying extra attention to Amazon’s third-quarter earnings report on Thursday.
Amazon is the second-best performing megacap tech stock this year, with a 48 percent gain that trails only Netflix. While the web retailing giant is expected to say that revenue grew 30 percent from the year-earlier period, Wall Street is more focused on the profitability of key businesses including cloud computing, advertising and third-party retailing.
“The highest-margin businesses are simply growing so fast that Amazon is either not able or not willing to reinvest enough to offset the margin expansion,” Macquarie analyst Benjamin Schachter wrote in a research note.

Facebook gets symbolic fine for Cambridge Analytica scandal
Posted in: Uncategorized
Facebook was slapped with a symbolic 500,000-pound ($645,000) fine by the U.K.’s privacy regulator for “serious” violations of data protection rules that paved the way for the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
The fine is the highest possible for the Information Commissioner’s Office under old rules that predated this year’s European Union revamp of privacy penalties. The ICO said that between 2007 and 2014, “Facebook processed the personal information of users unfairly by allowing application developers access to their information without sufficiently clear and informed consent.”
The revelations that data belonging to millions of Facebook users and their friends may have been misused triggered a global backlash from investors and regulators. The ICO has led the European investigations into how such an amount of data — most belonging to U.S. and U.K. residents — could have ended up in the hands of Cambridge Analytica, a consulting firm that worked on Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential campaign.

Comcast soars the most in five years after profit tops estimates
Posted in: Uncategorized
Comcast rallied the most in more than five years after its focus on improving internet service paid off in the third quarter, with the largest U.S. cable provider posting a big increase in broadband subscribers. The company added 363,000 internet subscribers in the period, a 70 percent increase from a year earlier. Comcast has had only one previous quarter in the past six with larger broadband customer gains.
The growth should ease investor concern that broadband is slowing and shows why much of the company’s capital is going toward network upgrades. It’s now the biggest U.S. provider of gigabit speeds.
The pay-TV business remains tough, with video subscribers shrinking as more U.S. customers go for cheaper options such as AT&T’s DirecTV Now. The U.S. video losses are a reminder why Comcast is paying $39 billion for Sky Plca pay-TV company in Europe, where cord-cutting isn’t so prevalent.

Posted in: Uncategorized
The cover of Time’s Nov. 5 issue, on newsstands Friday, involved a cast of hundreds and months of work, all masterminded by the French artist who goes by the name JR.

A total of 245 people were photographed, and some of them come to life, so to speak, in the animated version of the cover produced for social media (as seen above). The newsstand/subscriber version of the cover is below.
Time Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal introduces the issue and writes about the collaboration with JR in a note titled “Why Time Devoted an Issue to Guns in America.”
