Half of the $1.5 billion write down is folding Showtime into Paramount. So it looks like they've have a couple hundred million in programming, but the majority of the savings seems to be coming from integrating staff and budgets from Showtime.
Not sure about Disney but I'd guess some of that number might be from an anticipated combination of Hulu and Disney as well.
Wow, I've lost so much respect for Kelsey. What a bitch to lie right to the tribe's face about her heritage. I guess some people will do anything for a role.
This is the reason they aren't offering any ad supported plans in 1080p or higher. They don't want to cannibalize their higher tier customers. Limiting it to 720p means the majority of subscribers who decide to sub will likely not be from their traditional customer base.
