I found nearly all streamers have that issue. If you don't watch thru the end credits all the way it flags that episode as 'not finished' and keeps popping up that episode as "You want to resume watching this?" And there's no way to indicate, "No, I'm done." or to mark it as "finished."

Max is the worst in this regard.

I usually have the opposite problem. Unless I exit apps in a very specific way before I turn the TV off, sometimes they keep running in the background and I come back to find that it thinks I watched several episodes more than I actually did.

Must be my TV then, LG smart tv

I have to delete the app and reinstall it just to get it to launch sometimes.

I am using Apple TV however to launch it.

So who knows.

Nelson Peltz adds to Disney stake following share sale - Bloomberg News

Peltz-owned Trian Fund Management has purchased roughly 500,000 more shares since the end of March, giving it a total of 6.4 million, the report said, citing a person familiar with the matter. The fund started the year with 9.4 million Disney shares, before cutting its stake by 34% by...

Any inference from this? Is this viewed as a ratification of the moves made, or is he circling back around?

Question: did they mention anything about the dividend yesterday? Is that still planned?

Christine McCarthy did mention the dividend today on the SVB MoffettNathanson Q&A call.

And at some point, as you know, we've talked about resuming a dividend in not too distant future. It's not going to be where we left off, but we're going to get back in the game. And that's something that is returning capital to shareholders is something that we also think about, in addition to growing our businesses and investing in our business.

Iger says Disney will be "surgical" on deciding which content gets pulled from streaming services.

Seems like they're trying to tell creatives "No, we're not going Zaslav's route." Whether that's true remains to be soon.

That said, I wouldn't be shocked if the majority of content getting pulled are shows or movies Disney doesn't actually own (Diary of a Future President, the Animaniacs reboot, The Right Stuff and the like).

Well, we have our answer. Yikes. Guess we’re not seeing Willow season 2, since so few watched season 1.

Told you I wasn't shocked. At the very least, it's (presently) not as expansive as the August 2022 HBO Max purges, so my point that Iger wasn't quite emulating the Zaslav strategy still stands (for one, we've got a week to binge or watch all that content, and the creators are being notified in advance, so they'll have time to make copies, if they can, of the pulled content).

Them pulling Howard on the week of the live-action Little Mermaid film's release is pretty bad taste, though.

Also, Willow was never getting a season two despite what the showrunners were saying. That was just pure hopium and they knew it.

(Personally I don't expect these shows and movies to be disappeared for long. We'll see.)

Yeah, but most of these are original productions, right? This does feel like a Zaslav move in that regard.

It’s neither looking possible nor is it a good idea…but you go, Chrissy

Yeah but Zaslav went much further. He got rid of tons of library titles, wrote some of them off as tax losses (RIP Final Space), and some completed productions weren't even allowed to be released or aired (Batgirl, Chad and Snowpiercer come into mind).
