Netflix Stock to Benefit From Global Dominance
In the last five years, Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) has gone from being compared with CBS (NYSE:CBS) to being compared with Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS), and now Netflix’s spending trends are more similar to those of Disney than CBS.

Fox Bondholders Are Pushing Back on Disney’s Exchange Offer
Disney has offered to pay holders of $18.1 billion of Fox debt a small fee in exchange for their giving up bondholder protections known as covenants, according to research service Covenant Review. The group of noteholders, represented by corporate debt trade group Credit Roundtable, is working with investment bank Houlihan Lokey to help advise it, said David Knutson, a buyside analyst who is a co-leader of the advisory board to the Credit Roundtable.

FT says James Murdoch in line for Tesla chair. Musk reply: incorrect
SAN FRANCISCO/BOSTON (Reuters) - Elon Musk replied with a Tweet saying: "This is incorrect" after the Financial Times reported that outgoing Twenty-First Century Fox Inc (FOXA.O) Chief Executive James Murdoch was the lead candidate to replace him as Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) chairman. Tesla has until Nov. 13 to appoint an independent chairman of the board, part of settlements reached last month between Tesla, Musk and U.S. regulators after Musk tweeted in August that he had secured funding to take the electric car maker private. The SEC settlement capped months of debate and some investor calls for stronger oversight of Musk, whose recent erratic public behavior raised concerns about his ability to steer the money-losing company through a rocky phase of growth.

Fewer protests help NFL ratings get to strong start
League and broadcast executives had to be thinking “here we go again” as the NFL kicked off its season with a lightning delay that ensured low ratings for its opening game. A moribund preseason had registered a double-digit viewership drop, and after regular-season viewership had dropped 18 percent over the last two seasons, the NFL Kickoff game between the Eagles and the Falcons posted viewer numbers that were down 13 percent compared to the previous year. When that game was followed by a taunting tweet from President Donald Trump, sports executives steeled themselves for another tough season on the ratings front where they, again, would have to answer questions about the NFL’s long-term health prospects.

James Murdoch a 'favorite' to replace Elon Musk as Tesla chairman: report
James Murdoch is "the favorite" to replace Elon Musk as Tesla Inc. chairman, The Financial Times reported Wednesday, citing two people briefed on the discussions. Removing Musk as Tesla chairman was part of a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to end charges Musk had misled investors when he tweeted Aug. 7 he had "funding secured" to take Tesla private. Musk is known for favoring another board member, Antonio Gracias, but has been warned Gracias might not be considered independent enough, the report said. Another source said that external people are still being considered, the report said. The people familiar with the discussions said Murdoch has signaled he wanted to take on the role, the FT said. Murdoch has said he will step down as chief executive of 21st Century Fox when the company completes the sale of its entertainment assets to Walt Disney Co. Fox News-parent 21st Century Fox and MarketWatch-parent News Corp. share common ownership.
