  • Seven Congratulates Beat Bugs
    Seven congratulates Beat Bugs The Seven Network today acknowledged the continuing success of Josh Wakely and his team on Beat Bugs which has scored a coveted Emmy Award in the United States. Beat Bugs - seen globally on Netflix and backed as an original investor and partner by Seven Network Australia – has scored significant recognition with an Emmy Award for outstanding writing, coupled with five nominations in this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards in the United States. Seven Network partnered with Wakely’s company, Grace: A Storytelling Company, as the original investor and broadcast partner for Beat Bugs which features some of the most well-known Beatles songs woven into the narrative of each episode, with Eddie Vedder, P!nk, James Bay, Sia, Robbie Williams, The Shins, Of Monsters and Men, Chris Cornell, Regina Spektor, Tori Kelly, Aloe Black, Frances, James Corden, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Cornell, and Rod Stewart each recording their rendition of an iconic song. Among the 52 11-minute episodes, songs featured include Help!, Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Magical Mystery Tour. "I am humbled by this honour that the Academy has awarded Beat Bugs. We created this show in order to introduce The Beatles music to a new generation and bring its love-filled, timeless lessons to life on screen. None of this would have been possible without the belief of Seven, who curated and cared for the program from the very beginning. And of course, our extremely talented group of craftspeople, musicians, technicians and artists,” said Josh Wakely, Creator of Beat Bugs.

  • Cablefax Dailytm Tuesday — November 7, 2017 What the Industry Reads First Volume 28 / No
    www.cablefaxdaily.com, Published by Access Intelligence, LLC, Tel: 301-354-2101 Cablefax DailyTM Tuesday — November 7, 2017 What the Industry Reads First Volume 28 / No. 214 Full Monty: Altice’s MVNO with Sprint Sets It Apart from Peers in Wireless Given that Altice is a wireless player in every other market it operates in, the cable provider’s foray into the US mobile market was inevitable. The wheels are now in motion, with the company announcing a full MVNO partner- ship with Sprint that gives Altice access to the carrier’s wireless network. Altice isn’t the first US operator to delve into the mobile space; Comcast already has more than 250K Xfinity Mobile subs via an MVNO deal with Veri- zon, and Charter plans to launch its service via the same Verizon MVNO next year. Altice’s “full MVNO” approach, however, sets it apart from its US peers. Besen Group CEO Alex Besen, whose firm advises clients in the MVNO space, explained that Altice will have greater control over its wireless offering than either Comcast or Charter, who are simply resellers. “If Verizon, for example, introduces voice-over-IP or WiFi calling, then Charter and Comcast get it,” Besen said. “In the case of Sprint and Altice, Altice has a full MVNO, so they don’t have to depend on Sprint’s network. They can say, ‘Hey. We want to introduce the WiFi calling today,’ and they can do it. Verizon’s agreement with Comcast and Charter doesn’t allow them to do that. That’s why today you don’t see Xfinity Mobile having WiFi calling feature.” Besen also said Sprint has the most competitive wholesale pricing, meaning Altice will be able to offer its mobile service at higher margins.
