LOS ANGELES: The Oscars will be shown only on YouTube starting in 2029, the Academy announced Wednesday, in a radical play for a movie industry that remains wary of streaming platforms even as viewing habits shift online. The new five-year deal means Hollywood’s most prestigious awards ceremony will be seen exclusively online for the first time, ending a decades-long relationship with US broadcaster ABC. The decision will allow the Academy Awards to reach “the largest possible audience worldwide — which will benefit our Academy members and the film community,” Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences CEO Bill Cramer and
Islamabad: YouTube stopped short of a dating show that brought eight men and women from Pakistan to a sunny villa in Istanbul, where strangers mingled, flirted and searched for chemistry. What was meant to be a glamorous escapade in modern romance sparked a firestorm back home, turning the rose petal drama into a cultural, traditional and religious flashpoint. The show “Lazawal Ishq”, or “Eternal Love”, ran for 50 episodes before it was recently pulled from YouTube in Pakistan, although it is still available elsewhere.

LOS ANGELES: Walt Disney Co warned investors that its ongoing dispute with YouTube TV could drag on, sparking fresh concerns about the shrinking of the company’s traditional TV business, as its quarterly revenue fell short of market expectations. Disney Chief Financial Officer Hugh Johnston told analysts the company had “built a hedge” into its forecast to account for a potentially lengthy blackout of its television networks on YouTube TV — the fourth-largest pay-TV provider in the United States with about 10 million subscribers. The channels were killed on October 30 after negotiations over the carriage rights between Disney and YouTube’s

Disney confirmed in a memo to employees on Friday that talks with Google, YouTube’s parent company, were ongoing but had yet to yield results. “We’re heading into another packed sports weekend without a
New Delhi: Hundreds of Bollywood videos created by AI with 16 million views have been deleted by Google’s YouTube, as Reuters said they were similar to those at the center of a legal challenge that submitted a pair of celebrities to protect their rights.
