ESPN saw a big increase from last year thanks to live sports returning.

Ad market remains strong despite Olympics (whose ratings are the lowest in years).

Production costs at ESPN/ABC are rising and continue to rise. Chapek has a big challenge regarding that.

(ESPN says bye bye to Big 10, Big 12 and Pac 12 I bet.)

No dividend at the moment.

Not that it's hurt any company.
College football on ESPN is the only thing keeping me in the cable bundle.
SEC and ACC are the only college conferences ESPN are giving a about right now. There's a reason they've been suspected of spearheading the effort to get Texas and Oklahoma into the SEC.

Q: Why not pause releasing movies til COVID is gone? (!!!) Why not revisit Hulu predictions since it's doing so well?

A: Bob - Things are uncertain. We're going to continue to be flexible. (Just like he said in his prepared remarks.) We also need to make decisions with partners not know what the market will be in three months, e.g.

Q: Just add Premier Access!!!!

A: Bob - Free Guy was contracted with a different schema (from old Fox). Shang-Chi... we'll just see... we're experimenting, but then Delta!

A: Christine - Hulu is indeed doing well will subs and ads and dynamic ads. But we expect new expenses with new content creation. So... things are in flux.
