The Bourne Spin-off guy? Hawkeye?
From what I read recently, they offered him half the salary from S1 and he politely declined.
As many of us would have in the same position.
It's more like Marvel wouldn't pay him what he was worth.
yes.
Not only that, they offered that to him AFTER his accident and as he said he would have to work twice as hard and put twice the work in to do it.
CNN is a cable channel. If you have access to it, you're paying for it. The more appropriate comparison would be if someone in the US had to pay for one of the networks, ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox.
No, PBS would be the appropriate comparision.
Whatever, CNN was the wrong comparison was my point.
If I told you that in Türkiye, public channels and channels belonging to media companies are broadcasted free of charge via satellite, and in addition to paid services such as Netflix, Amazon and Disney Plus, there are satellite television providers that work with subscription, and that there are channels specific to those satellite television providers that are sold for a fee, and that those channels specific to those satellite providers do not work with other satellite providers that broadcast them for free. However, we do not experience any of the TV licensing problems that the British experience.
In the USA, we have OTA which is free and largely ad supported outside of PBS, which is funded by a combination of subsidies, donations and money made from selling their programs. Basic cable, which is supported via a combination of ad revenue with subscription fees. Premium cable, which is supported by subscription fees. Then streaming which generally works the same way in most of the world.
Is Tarkan still as popular as he used to be back in the 2000s?
We don't have a TV licensing problem.
If it was an major issue for most people then it would be gone by now.
Also if doesn't just fund the BBCs tv channels but also national and local radio, iPlayer and the website as well as a lot of the
broadcast infrastructure. In value for money terms its far superior to any subscription service and it does lots of things they would never do.
None of its local competitors want the license gone, they don't want to potentially compete for advertising revenue and they often benefit from the BBCs ability to innovate with a more secure funding scheme.
For example iPlayer led the way for streaming and catch up here and normalised it for the whole population which has helped ITV and C4 increase revenue from its digital offerings.
The weak point of the BBC at the moment is it's news offering where the previous goverment rode roughshod over its independence and installed its supporters.

The only way the BBC will continue in the not too distent future is via ad revenue, and also a paid subscription to the same cost as the tv licence to remove ads, but of course the only fly in that oint is the fact that no matter how many tell you the BBC is a wonderful service worth 200 quid a year, you can bet the vast majority of those 23 million paying the tv licence right now, would not opt for the paid subscription to remove ad option, and that is why the BBC are so scared of losing the tv licence, as they are so sure that they offer good value for money, that they are too frightened to allow the tax payers to decide for themselve, hence the need to back up the tv licence with threats of prison time and courtrooms, which is quite ironic when you think of it.
Hey all a political party has to do is put in their manifesto that they'll remove the licence fee altogether and I'm sure they'll romp to power. Except none of them ever do, much as some of them would love to destroy the BBC (especially on the right) but they know it wouldn't be popular so they choose to just go with a death of a thousand cuts by tinkering with its funding model.
I have no doubt the BBC will die eventually, or massively reduce in scale, they already can't compete with the Netflixes of the world, but, IMO at least, the world will be a poorer place at that time.

I doubt that the licence fee is a major issue for many voters. Also, people keep commentating that you can be imprisoned for not having a TV licence. You can't. The maximum sentence is £1000 plus costs but in reality it is a lot less unless you are a repeat offender. You can be imprisoned for not paying a court imposed fine but the court is required to take your ability to pay into account when making the order. Only repeat offenders who wilfully ignore repeated attempts to make repayments are likely to go to jail. For example, in 2019 122,603 people were prosecuted, 2 were imprisoned. In 2020 53,301 were prosecuted, there were no people imprisoned.
no, There has been a decline in pop music in Türkiye. Now people have started to rap in Turkish instead of pop music. The most popular music genre in Turkey is 'that'. Even in cars, while driving on the road, pop music from 10 years ago is played. New pop music songs have rarely been released for almost 10 years. Even those who are still famous and used to make pop music are making songs with Turkish rappers.

It sneaks by because there are bigger fish to fry. No one is going to win an election on a third-tier irritant. Especially if it is an issue that only causes trouble for folks who can't afford it.
Sounds like everywhere else. Pop culture now exists in an everlasting now, and it’s a now of the past.
What we call pop music is the same type of music that Selena Gomez and others make in America.
