The Death and Rebirth of Showtime
b"Matt is joined by Bloomberg\\u2019s Lucas Shaw to discuss the latest casualty of the streaming wars, Showtime, which was effectively killed last week when its owner, Paramount Global, rebranded the network to Paramount+ with Showtime. The network is drastically changing its linear strategy and has announced a slate of 'Yellowstone'-like spin-off shows of its biggest Showtime hits, like 'Billions' and 'Dexter.' Matt and Lucas dissect if this is a smart business move, if this is actually a sign of a new beginning for Showtime, and who might be next on the streaming-wars chopping block.\\n\\nClick here for a 20 percent discount on Matt\\u2019s Hollywood insider newsletter, 'What I\\u2019m Hearing.'\\nEmail us your thoughts! thetown@spotify.com\\n\\nHost: Matt Belloni\\nGuest: Lucas Shaw\\n\\nProducer: Craig Horlbeck\\nTheme Song: Devon Renaldo\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
