Disney’s AI Gamble, MediaCity's Birthday & Substack Growth
Stuart Morgan and Cat Lewis join Matt Deegan
Disney+ is flirting with user-generated AI content whilst protecting its precious IP - but how exactly do you let people create their own Frozen movie without losing control? Stuart Morgan from Audio Always and Cat Lewis from Nine Lives Media are with us from MediaCity to debate whether Disney’s AI gamble makes sense, and what it means for the rest of the industry.
We’re also covering Trump raising his BBC lawsuit to a staggering $5 billion, why the Edinburgh TV Festival might ditch Edinburgh, and how the Telegraph is back on the market for the third time in three years. Also on the show, the Financial Times launching on Substack to chase younger readers, Goalhanger’s new science podcast with Hannah Fry, and why British TV sales to America have topped $1 billion for the first time.
Plus in the Media Quiz, we play “Shock News” - giving three media stories the full tabloid treatment.
