It commands about 11% or 12% of video listenership.

We're going to spend more money than anyone else, but for spending X, we're going to get 1.2X because we're going to produce Squid Games in Seoul, Korea, and we're going to produce Money Heist in Madrid.

Their audiences on cable news are declining and streaming media, it's a capital war.
All roads lead to the same place and that is they need a way to create content for a lower cost.
