From the PodcastWhy Your Favourite Shows Dissapeared From Streaming Services – With Kelly GuimontEver wondered where that show you really want to watch has suddenly gone?

I still can’t watch “Studio 60…” or “Sportsnight”, Kelly Guimont joins to discuss the shows that have disappeared off streamers and why it happens. US Election is the Only StoryAs we hurtle towards election day in the US, British broadcasters are once putting huge amounts of resources into what will likely be days of covering counts, declarations and conspiracy theories.

Welcome to The Addition, where I cover the crossover between culture, media and sport. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the need for the WSL to get more competitive if it is going to maintain media interest. This weekend was very illustrative. The managers like to emphasise how difficult the league is. Tottenham's Robert Vilahamn called the WSL "crazy competitive" in a press conference on Friday. Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor has said similar. However, only Vilahamn's team ended up in a...
Welcome to The Addition, where I cover the crossover between culture, media and sport. What's this? A newsletter on a Thursday? Yes! I thought that you might appreciate your second dose of independent media reporting and analysis earlier in the week, so I'm now going to publish on a Thursday instead of a Friday. Not that long ago, I revealed the strain hacks at Reach are under as their bosses impose ever more demanding targets on them. It’s all in the name of traffic. Of course. Since then,...
