Disney Rebrands Its Three TV Studios 08.10.2020 Nearly 18 months following Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox, Disney is rebranding its three TV studios, said Disney Television Studios President Craig Hunegs on Monday. Each of the three studios are removing the word Fox from their names. As such, ABC Studios and subsidiary ABC Signature, led by Jonnie Davis, is merging into one studio called ABC Signature; Fox 21 Television Studios, led by Bert Salke, is being renamed Touchstone Television: And 20th Century Fox Television, led by President Carolyn Cassidy, is becoming 20th Television. Prior to the Disney acquisition, 20th Century Fox Television subsidiary Twentieth Television handled broadcast and cable syndication. New graphic logos and the above "motion end cards" will be rolled out in all-new episodes of Disney Television Studios programming going forward. Library titles and episodes broadcast before the rebrand will remain unchanged. "Our new studio names and logos mark a new day for ABC Signature, 20th Television and Touchstone Television while honoring their rich histories and the creative power of The Walt Disney Company," said Hunegs in a statement. "[Disney Television Studios and ABC Entertainment Chair] Dana [Walden] and I could not be more pleased with the first year of our three studios together as part of Disney Television Studios and we believe that with our powerhouse talent roster and exceptional studio teams, the best is yet to come." Disney Television Studios is behind the production of such series as Hulu's Little Fires Everywhere, Fox's Bob's Burgers and The Simpsons, ABC's Modern Family and Grey's Anatomy, Showtime's Homeland, NBC's This Is Us and many more..

The US Film Industry
Jono Polansky, Onbeyond LLC August 2020 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ This SFM guide to who owns what in the US screen entertainment industry — movies, broadcast, cable and streaming — has been updated to reflect developments in tobacco content and changes in corporate ownership. We put this map together so public health experts, parents, young people and policy makers can identify who decides if smoking shows up in entertainment accessible to kids. The US film industry MAJOR STUDIOS | The US feature film industry is dominated by five “major studio” distributors. In 2019, their top-grossing films accounted for 81 percent of all youth-rated tobacco impressions delivered to domestic theater audiences. The studios develop, finance, and market film projects domestically and worldwide. Almost all films with production budgets greater than $50 million are major studio films. Studios may not break even on theatrical showings of a film, but a film’s box office, split roughly 50-50 with the theaters, strongly predicts the revenue the studio keeps to itself when the film is later released on DVD and licensed to on-demand, cable, and broadcast services. Most studio revenue comes from those “long tail” after-markets. In addition, 70 percent of US studios’ theatrical revenue now comes from outside the United States, which helps explain why easy-to-sell “franchise” films are prized by major studios. The major studios are represented by a trade group, the Motion Picture Association (MPA), dominate its board of directors. The MPA owns and administers the movie ratings (G/PG/PG-13/R,NC-17), with a nod to the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO), which plays a role in enforcing age restrictions.

The big picture view is that the news they report on clearly supports and favors keeping and preserving the status quo and thus the wealth and power of the largest companies and industries on the planet…not the common man. The TV networks, websites, newspapers, magazines owned by Rupert Murdoch have been at best been reluctant to publish or report on anything that doesn’t support the various big businesses that continue to fund their media empire with advertising dollars.
