And in a week, January 21st, that's when the tender offer for certainly the Paramount Skydance side of the equation runs outright.

I mean, do we get any signal for investors that they're at all interested in that side?

You know, investors have been split.

Some of the big investment funds, you know, they don't say anything, but we have spoken with a number of the major shareholders, and I'd say their reactions range from we prefer Netflix to we prefer Paramount, and then a lot of people in the middle are basically saying, you know, tie right now goes to the winner, which is Netflix, but we hope slash expect that Paramount will increase its offer, which doesn't seem to be the Paramount move.

Just very quickly, remind us of the state of play, the difference between the two bids.

Well, Netflix's bid is for just the studio and streaming service, so Warner Brothers and HBO.

Paramount's bid is for the whole company, so that includes all the cable networks like CNN, TNT, TVS, and the like.

We're coming off of record highs.

Nvidia, of course, confronting that news that maybe H200s could be getting closer to exporting to China.

But at the moment, we're under pressure.
