A little behind-the-scenes feel good moment from the @cspan control room: my summer intern William getting to push some buttons for tonight's hearing … his first time working on LIVE television. Not bad for his third day on the job! pic.twitter.com/hljN6jmJwt

News flash! Announcement by @JRosenworcelFCC at today’s @fcc open meeting that “8th Floor” is now officially called “10th Floor.” But was there a PN seeking comment on this mega development? Does @FCBALaw have an opinion? #APA issues? Can old dogs learn this new trick? 😉

“I think the belief that there was unlimited growth in these spaces was just unrealistic. These are businesses, they’re like other subscriber and membership businesses in a lot of ways… it’s amazing how fast everyone has run away from Netflix. It’s still the most amazing story in the history of the business… We have been very aggressive with our story that we don’t spend crazy amounts of money on content. And particularly operating in the targeted space, there’s even more opportunity for us to create content at a reasonable price that’s going to be very attractive to our super fanbases. That hasn’t changed. What we’re really doing now is staying the course while the rest of the world is a bit off-course.”
