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 losses 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 podcasts. They're coming to Instagram. But the revenue isn't quite there for these organizations.
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 we'll be watching here in the new media space, how legacy media pivots and adapts to the changing, the ever-changing environment. Yeah.
Let's just pause there. You used to pay eight bucks 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 going to be harder and harder for people as they look at their numbers to subscribe to multiple streamers, right? So it's going to lead to some hard decisions of like, do I keep the Disney Plus? Do I keep the Netflix? Do I keep Paramount Plus or the Peacock? But all of them, when you add them all up, are going to get pretty pricey.
All right, now time for On This Day in History. We begin in 1849. Geneva Medical College bestowed a medical degree on Elizabeth Blackwell. She was the first woman in the U.S. to receive a medical degree. At the time, she was facing and women were facing near uniform opposition from male students and medical professionals about women in medicine.
Blackwell would go on to set up a clinic for the poor in New York City. And she was determined to treat as many patients as possible, despite all of the pushback she was getting. Notable years later, 2017 is the year for the first time that a majority of medical students in the U.S. were women.
Yes, because it turns out that women don't go in there thinking they know everything. They ask more questions and that's turned out to be effective, especially when surgery is happening. So keep that in mind if you have to go in for surgery at some point. No insult to the great male surgeons out there just passing along the data that we saw recently.
On this day in 1941, Charles Lindbergh testifies before Congress and suggests that the U.S. negotiate a neutrality pact with Hitler. Charles Lindbergh, despite being a national hero for flying nonstop solo across the Atlantic, was very into Hitler, was very friendly with Hitler. They had lots of conversations where they shared their mutual hatred of Jews and other issues.
In fact, Henry Ford, the founder of Ford, was in those conversations. And there was actually a scenario, Jill, where Charles Lindbergh was considering running for president against FDR and might have won to keep the country isolationist. So a moment there in American history, again, before Pearl Harbor, when the U.S.
was having a serious conversation and there were advocates like Lindbergh saying, you know what, just make a deal with with Hitler. Let's not plan to go to war with him.
Yeah, scary, scary alternate history there. Fast forward to 1957 on this day, the Wham-O Toy Company introduced these new aerodynamic plastic discs they called Frisbees. Now to a bit of pop culture history, to the clue from the beginning of the podcast. Here's looking at you, kid. Of all the gin joints in the world, you walk into mine. Casablanca premiered on this day 82 years ago.
Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, a classic Hollywood film. Turning 41 years old today. Just got this. Another classic, but in this case, music. Michael Jackson released Thriller on this day in history. And turning 40 years old today. Material Girl, not Madonna herself. Her song, Material Girl, released on this day in 1985.
Material girl living in a material world. Makes sense.
Listen, another generation memorizing Madonna lyrics.
