The U.S. sells the Saudis a lot of equipment. They're part of an alliance against Iran, even though they've sort of softened their stance against Iran of late. So we'll see what happens. Things are still pretty precarious in the region. There was a Moroccan national with a U.S. green card, incidentally, who stabbed and wounded four people in a terror attack in Tel Aviv on Tuesday.
We also saw in the West Bank, this is the other piece of land the Palestinians have some control over, that they're looking to for a future Palestinian state in a group of Israeli settlers, a group of Israelis who live in the West Bank rampage through Palestinian villages, targeting homes, businesses and vehicles.
There's been a lot of back and forth violence there over the course of the last year and a half. So we'll continue to watch the region here for how this ceasefire hostage deal unfolds.
So this is a pretty big deal. And this has been Harry's life's mission here, to reform media practices. I heard him speak about this recently. He was being interviewed by Andrew Russ Sorkin over there at the New York Times Dealbook Conference in New York just last month. And he's talked about how passionate he was, how important this was.
So the fact that he took a settlement here, not insignificant. The settlement reportedly an eight-figure sum. They weren't specific here, but you can do the math, somewhere between 10%. $10 million and $100 million, if we're going with an eight-figure sum here, probably more significant than they would have been made to pay in court.
NGN, the news group owned by Murdoch here, has previously settled with 1,300 other individuals. Payouts have exceeded $1.2 billion for a variety of things that they were accused of doing. Prince William, Harry's brother, actually privately settled just a few years ago for a seven-figure sum for a few million dollars with NGN.
Now, based on the way the law works in the UK, Harry could have been stuck with a big bill if he didn't win the case. In fact, he would have had to pay the legal bills for Murdoch here. So it appears Harry took the safe bet here, taking the money. He also got a rare apology from the news group for what they did.
And again, for Harry, this has been an issue going back to his childhood, what he believes the paparazzi and the media did to his mother, leading to her death. as well as what they've done to him his entire life. This has been a huge thing. Of course, him and Meghan Markle have talked about this as well. So a pretty significant day for Harry yesterday.
yeah though we have seen a number of uh people uh not get renewed or take buyouts or leave the chris wallaces and some of the other correspondents and anchors they had uh cnn trying to figure out his future here because they got this boost during trump one a lot of the media did uh with a lot of interest a lot of subscribers you saw the washington post get a boost the new york times get a boost the atlantic uh get a boost here uh cnn and the cables got a boost
The interest not as high this time around among members of the public. Nonetheless, CNN in the fall launched a paywall. You might have noticed this over on CNN.com. You had a certain number of articles and then you got to pay $3.99 a month. CNN is hoping that that could bring it up to a billion in revenue annually from its heavier users of CNN.com.
A lot of these companies, and I lived and breathed it as I launched the digital streaming channel at CBS, trying to figure out their future here as cord cutting becomes more prevalent. Fun fact, Jill, the median age of a cable news viewer today, 70 years old. half the viewers of a CNN or MSNBC or Fox News are over the age of 70. And they're not getting replaced significantly by younger folks.
And so they're trying to figure out their digital strategies here. CNN, not alone. NBC News also planning cuts later this week. Their job loss is estimated to be about 50, according to CNBC reporting here. And so people are transitioning, right? We're discovering this at Mo News. They're coming to podcast, they're coming to Instagram, but the revenue isn't quite there for these organizations.
So they're all figuring it out. They're all recalibrating here. Still at CNN, you have like 3,500 employees worldwide, significant organization, but they're all being asked to do more. And in some cases, do more for pay cuts or keeping their pay flat as they figure it out. And they've gone through various iterations, certainly a storyline that
We'll be watching here in the new media space how legacy media pivots and adapts to the ever-changing environment.
Let's just pause there. You have to pay $8 a month and you still get ads. Remember when they were charging that for no ads?
Hey, they can get away with it, right? They're charging you for a subscription and they're double dipping, right? And they're getting the ads.
Yep.
It adds up. You're getting the ad tier for $8 a month, the ad-free for $18 a month, and the premium plan where you can do multiple streams at the same time for $25 a month there. And yet they feel what they're offering there at Netflix is valuable. All these new live events, right? You might have seen the recent NFL games there, the Paul Tyson fight.
And they're seeing huge numbers as they add in more live events here. Disney trying to stay competitive here with Disney+. They acquired the sports streamer FuboTV. And sports is going to be key here to these streamers as they look to charge more and more. Last month, Netflix, back to Netflix here, they got exclusive U.S. rights for the next two FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments.
But certainly, Jill, as these numbers go up, it's gonna be harder and harder for people, as they look at their numbers, to subscribe to multiple streamers, right? So it's gonna lead to some hard decisions of like, do I keep the Disney+, do I keep the Netflix, do I keep the Paramount+, or the Peacock? But all of them, when you add them all up, are gonna get pretty pricey.
