The Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division Friday announced that it closed its investigation into Fox Corp.’s $22 billion acquisition of Roku after finding the deal “is not likely to result in harm to competition.” However, Fox — which announced the completion of the Roku deal Friday — made several commitments to the DOJ in connection with the deal. According to the DOJ, “Consistent with the Division’s finding that the transaction is unlikely to result in harm to competition, Fox has committed that Roku will remain an open and neutral content partner post-merger.” Specifically, Fox has committed to abide by the following four conditions: The DOJ’s Antitrust Division opened an investigation into Fox’s proposed Roku acquisition, as is customary, and in September issued second requests for documentation to Fox and Roku. According to the agency, the division “analyzed whether the proposed merger may harm competition among free, ad-supported streaming providers” and “considered whether Fox might use its control of the Roku platform to disadvantage its content rivals post-merger.” The Justice Department concluded that Fox’s Roku takeover would be “unlikely” to introduce “substantial risk of harm.” Lachlan K. Murdoch, Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Fox Corporation, said: "The closing of this acquisition advances the long-term strategy of FOX. Beginning today, our top priority for the combined company is to continue to relentlessly serve audiences and partners, while reinforcing the openness and choice that is the essence of the Roku platform. Our shared entrepreneurial passion and clear conviction toward building the future together with our new Roku colleagues gives us great confidence in the opportunities ahead of us." Roku founder Anthony Wood will join the FOX board of directors. He will also serve as Co-Chair, FOX Digital Platforms, the newly formed division that includes Roku, Tubi, FOX One, Red Seat Ventures, and other digital products and services across the Company, alongside Paul Cheesbrough, who assumes the role of Co-Chair and CEO, FOX Digital Platforms.

“Wheel of Fortune” introduced some new features for its Season 44, and it appears to be paying off with viewers. The long-running syndicated game show is averaging 8.59 million viewers in linear this year, up 17% from last year, while its household rating is a 4.8, up 16% from last year. M eanwhile, producer Sony Pictures Television also reports that “Wheel of Fortune” on streaming is up 78% with total viewers and up 29% with adults 25-54. (“Wheel of Fortune” streams on Peacock, Hulu and Hulu on Disney+). Sony said the show reaches a total of nearly 37 million total viewers so far this season and says “Wheel” is the No. 1 entertainment program on TV. In Season 44, “Wheel of Fortune” gameplay added a new opening round, dubbed “Fortune Frenzy,” which follows contestants as they’re given 30 seconds to solve as many puzzles as possible. That means more puzzles at the start of the show. Sony said the ratings increase also comes as it assumes marketing, promotions and affiliate relations for “Wheel.” A year ago, CBS Media Ventures and Sony Pictures TV settled their long-running battle over the distribution of “Wheel” and “Jeopardy.” As part of their settlement, Sony took over international distribution of “Wheel” last year, while CBS kept domestic distribution through 2027-2028 (at which point Sony takes it over). CBS continued to handle marketing, promotions and affiliate relations last year, but all of that moved to Sony starting this fall. “We’ve been very deliberate about using audience insights to inform how we evolve ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ introducing meaningful changes that keep the format fresh while protecting what has made the franchise so enduring,” said Sony Pictures TV president of game shows Suzanne Prete in a statement. “At a time when the broader linear landscape is challenged, growing our audience and ranking as the No. 1 entertainment series on television is a strong validation of that approach. We’re particularly proud of the tremendous growth we’re seeing on streaming, which reflects our continued focus on expanding the reach of ‘Wheel’ and meeting audiences wherever and however they choose to watch.” |

Netflix Bid to Buy Radford Studios Stalled |
|
Netflix‘s proposed acquisition of the historic Radford Studio Center lot has stalled as the entertainment giant weighs whether to move forward with purchase, raising questions of how much production space it expects to need in Los Angeles and whether it believes owning a major Hollywood lot still makes sense. “Netflix has not closed the transaction, and they are not deciding to close it until sometime maybe later in the year,” said Hudson Pacific CEO Victor Coleman during an earnings call on Thursday. “Or not.” Netflix is the third-biggest tenant of Hudson Pacific properties, leasing the ICON, EPIC and CUE buildings at Sunset Studios in Los Angeles. One line of speculation has been that Netflix is looking to become an owner rather than a tenant in L.A. and that Radford would fit the bill for a sprawling studio property. The Hollywood Reporter reports that there’s been an extension in the initial 90-day due diligence period for Netflix to examine the Radford property, according to a person familiar with the transaction. The development doesn’t necessarily signal the deal won’t close, this source cautions, though it highlights the gravity of taking on a sprawling production campus in L.A. as filming levels in the region hover around historic lows. In recent years, Netflix and other studios have prioritized shooting in other states and countries where labor and other costs are cheaper that offer more generous filming subsidies. The expectation in Hollywood real estate circles is that the deal will ultimately close. “Everyone assumes it’s going to get done,” this source says. The transaction, estimated at $330 million to $400 million, comes as Netflix reassesses its commitments to soundstage space in L.A. The company has been cancelling some obligations with Hudson Pacific, the source adds, potentially suggesting that it’s taking seriously a shift from leasing production space to owning it. |

Take Me Out Again? |
|
Iconic dating series Take Me Out is set to return to screens nearly seven years after its axe from ITV. But host Paddy McGuinness will not be back for the reboot — with bosses instead looking for a “glamorous female” like Olivia Attwood or Emily Atack to bring in new audiences. A source said: “Take Me Out was absolutely huge in the 2010s and was a stalwart of the primetime light entertainment schedule. “Execs at Fremantle, the production company behind the reboot, want to ensure it has the same cheeky tone as the original. “That’s what set it apart from more serious dating formats which rely on beef and drama — and made it such a fun watch. “Emily and Olivia’s quick wit and timing make them favourites and Maya Jama was also considered perfect, but her links to Love Island make that tricky." |

Chef Koumei Nakamura, who rose to fame as the second Iron Chef Japanese on the original version of "Iron Chef", has died aged 78. A statement on his official website reads (translated from Japanese): "It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Koumei Nakamura—the chef behind the "Komei Nakamura" brand and our long-standing culinary supervisor—on January 25, 2026. "We express our profound gratitude for the kindness and support shown to him during his lifetime, and we offer our sincere condolences. "As a chef, Komei Nakamura possessed exceptional skill and sensibility, creating numerous dishes and contributing significantly to the development of Japanese culinary culture. In his role as brand supervisor for our company, he poured immense passion into product development and the oversight of culinary equipment, guided by his distinct philosophy and unwavering commitment to quality. "With the consent of his family, we intend to carefully uphold the culinary philosophy and supervisory principles that he established. We remain committed to carrying on his spirit and continuing our supervisory operations, ensuring the ongoing provision of valuable products that bring joy to our customers. We thank you deeply for your support thus far, and we humbly ask for your continued kindness and patronage moving forward." In 1996, upon the retirement of original Iron Chef Japanese Rokusaburo Michiba, Nakamura, then the head chef of Nadaman at the Hotel New Otani in Tokyo, was tapped to be his successor. He accrued a record of 24-11-1 with one no-contest. He would retire in 1998 after losing to recurring challenger Toshiro Kandagawa. |

There’s one bachelor, 10 women vying for his love and Chris Harrison. In Fox Nation’s upcoming dating series “The Vow,” the ex-“Bachelor” host steps into familiar territory, five years after his controversial exit from the ABC franchise. The trailer puts 30-year-old Jace Cates front and center as he splits his attention between the female contestants. “I think Jace would be an amazing dad. Oh my gosh, like, put a baby in me now!” says one cast member as Cates is seen cradling an infant. Premiering on Nov. 11 on Fox Nation, the streamer will roll out one episode per week until the Dec. 9 finale. Per the description, the show will explore “whether shared values, faith, communication, and long-term goals can build a relationship designed to last long after the cameras stop rolling. At a time when much of modern dating culture is driven by fleeting connections and social media attention, the series offers a different approach by placing the focus on meaningful relationships, commitment and building a life together.” When Fox Nation put out the first teaser for “The Vow,” it did shy away from the connection between Harrison and TV’s most iconic dating show. In the teaser, the host throws a red rose — the symbol of “The Bachelor” — on the ground before threatening to step on it. Plus, “The Vow” will feature an appearance from Sean and Catherine Lowe, whose love story unfolded on Season 17 of “The Bachelor” in 2013. The pair has been married since and is one of the most famous examples of a long-lasting relationship to form on reality television. Harrison hosted “The Bachelor” and all of its spinoffs from the series’ inception in 2002. He exited the franchise in 2021 after comments he made defending former contestant Rachael Kirkconnell drew sharp backlash and were perceived by some as racially insensitive. “I’m so excited to be back helping people find love, and Fox Nation has been an incredible partner in bringing this vision to life,” Harrison said in a statement. “We were inspired by the faith-driven renaissance happening across America, and as a result, I believe we’ve created the most authentic dating show on television today. At a time when so many people feel dating has become harder than ever, ‘The Vow’ asks a simple but important question: Can genuine, lasting love still be found in the modern world? The stakes couldn’t be higher. I’m incredibly proud and honored to put my name on this show.” |

They’ll be pulling back the curtain on The Voice like never before.” Bru said in a statement shared with THR, “I grew up watching The Voice, so getting to go from being a fan of the show to actually being part of it is one of those moments that feels almost too surreal to put into words.

"Million Pound Shot" A Million Pound Hoax |
|
On Sunday night, Channel 4 viewers tuned into what they thought was a sleek new quiz show fronted by Bradley Walsh. Contestants were to bet money on general knowledge questions, with the potential to win up to £1 million. The twist: they were betting their own money. Half an hour into the Million Pound Shot, filmed before a studio audience, one of the contestants, Reece, 30, collapsed on the floor, fighting back tears after losing £6,000. The show seemed to descend into chaos as an audience member started protesting about the ethics of the game and the broadcast appeared to cut out. Moments later, Walsh re-emerged on the stage and informed viewers they had just watched a hoax. The contestants, set manager, and even the audience heckler were all actors performing a piece of theatre illustrating the practices of UK gambling companies. Upon unveiling the truth, Bradley spoke to the audience, saying: “The whole thing was a performance, everything you’ve seen tonight draws on the techniques used by the gambling industry.” He then introduced the actors who played the contestants and floor manager. The star went on to explain how they wanted to create an experiment to show how gamblers are manipulated to keep playing and spend more. Although in only three days since airing, Million Pound Shot has received 65 Ofcom complaints. |

October Surprise |
|
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, on the eve of the 2026 midterm elections, is calling for another major expansion of the state’s film and TV tax credit program. Newsom is proposing an increase to California’s entertainment production incentive program from $750 million in annual tax credits to at least $1 billion, expanding what the governor’s office touts as already the largest capped film and TV tax credit in the U.S. The proposed expansion, announced Monday, would include credits for above-the-line talent, to cover spending on actors’ salaries; $100 million earmarked for independent productions; rewards for companies that commit to more than one production in California; and an extension of the tax credit through 2040. Newsom’s term expires on Jan. 4, so the work of carrying through on any such proposal will be left to his successor. Xavier Becerra, the Democratic nominee, has promised to enhance the existing tax credit but has been vague about what enhancements he would support. Many industry stakeholders are pushing for an unlimited tax credit, but Becerra has not committed to that. |

Veteran U.S. syndicator Sandy Frank passed away on October 20, and now he’s resting in Putnam Valley, New York. Frank, who “couldn’t retire because I didn’t play golf,” died at the ripe age of 97, still working. VideoAge featured Frank in its “Hall of Fame” feature of October, 2016. From 1976 through the early part of 1980, Sundel “Sandy” Frank was an imposing figure at MIP-TV markets. Some people still remember the large booth space he rented at the old Palais, and the bus trips he organized during those markets for press and program buyers to visit an orphanage outside Cannes, where he ceremoniously donated a large check each time. In his “Hall of Fame” feature, Frank recalled: “The biggest challenge I faced when I began my business in the fall of 1964 was surviving alone. The networks controlled all of primetime and the majors controlled all of the early fringe with their off-network programming, so there was virtually no place for an independent [like me] to find a time period for [my] show. Frank’s career in the entertainment business started in 1949 at Paramount Pictures when, at the age of 20, he served as a part-time booker and sales trainee. Frank recalled that meeting both Sadat and Begin was the highlight of his career, and as an American Jew, he was proud of being in Sadat’s limousine when he announced he would visit Israel in 1977. However, the movie on Begin (based on his 1951 book “The Revolt,” for which Frank paid $100,000) was never made, and Frank blames a former ABC executive who considered Begin a militant terrorist. Over the course of his career, Frank sold franchises such as Lassie, Name That Tune, and The Dating Game. “I felt very confident that I could sell anything,” Frank said in an interview. Other shows Frank sold into syndication include game shows Face the Music, The New Treasure Hunt, The Parent Game, and The $1.98 Beauty Show. Outside of game shows, he was known for adapting features and series from Japan for western audiences, such as Gamera (from the Daiei library) and Battle of the Planets (adapted from Tatsunoko's Science Ninja Team Gatchman). Frank was known to be health conscious and a germophobe, always traveling with lots of medicine. He would send employees home if they sneezed in his presence. Naturally, tobacco smoking was anathema to him. Frank’s generosity was as well known as his eccentricities. He would lend money to friends in need. He would call friends who were not feeling well to offer medical advice, and at times, even make their doctors’ appointments. |

Ellen DeGeneres is mourning the loss of Matthew Wright, who worked as an executive producer on The Ellen DeGeneres Show for 16 years and appeared frequently on the show. Wright died Friday, October 30, “in an unfathomable tragedy” while he was working remotely in Los Angeles, according to a GoFundMe for his family. He was 52. No details about the cause of his death were shared. “In an unfathomable tragedy, Matt Wright passed away Oct 30th while working remotely in Los Angeles. His husband, father, sister and niece are in New York, desperate to be reunited for a proper goodbye. We’re asking for all of his friends, who Matt loved so fully, to help the family at this time. As many of you know, Matt and Justin were both laid off this summer. And the unexpected costs of getting Matt home, a funeral and a memorial are impossible for the family to bear,” the GoFundMe continued. “If Matt has ever made you laugh, said an encouraging word right when you needed it, or ordered one too many appetizers for the enjoyment of the whole table, now is the time to repay the favor. Please donate what you can and share this with anyone who’s been in the orbit of Matt’s huge heart. And when you’re at dinner and see a sunset, know that Matt is looking down, loving you, but wildly disappointed in what you ordered.” DeGeneres shared a tearful video, saying: “He was an amazing guy. He was funny. God, he made me laugh. He would surprise me with things that he did all the time. He was smart. He was kind. He was the part of our show that — I mean, everyone loved him. I loved him. And it’s just shocking — it’s shocking,” she said. “We’re gonna miss him. He is and always will be the glue to our entire family at the ‘Ellen Show.’” Wright was a regular presence on the show, appearing frequently in a recurring segment called “Strong Opinions with Matt”. Wright also was a producer on several episodes of DeGeneres’ Ellen’s Game of Games in 2017-18 and her 2009 special Ellen’s Bigger, Longer & Uncut. He began his TV career as a producer on the 2002-06 SoapNet series Soap Talk. Andy Lassner, who also served as an EP of the Ellen DeGeneres Show, shared photos of him and Wright on the Jennifer Hudson Show set that were taken on Thursday, the day before Wright’s death. Lassner said Wright had stopped by the set to visit. “We are all in shock. He was a brilliant producer and an even better human being,” Lassner wrote. “The way he looked after his mom, flying back and forth from Los Angeles to New York practically every weekend before she died, showed what an incredible son he was. He gave that same depth of love to his friendships. My heart breaks for his husband, Justin, his family, and all of us who loved him. I was so lucky to work beside Matt for so many years and to call him my friend. We should have had so much more time with him.” Wright’s survivors include his husband Justin Fusella. |

John Leeson, the British actor who voiced Doctor Who‘s iconic companion K9, has died aged 83, his family has confirmed. In a Facebook post, Leeson’s son Guy Ducker said his father died yesterday “after a summer of illness.” “I regret to announce the death of my father, John Ducker, a.k.a. John Leeson, at 3:03pm today after a summer of illness,” read Ducker’s post. “The end was peaceful. Good night sweet prince: And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!” In a separate post, Ducker thanked the Whovians — a nickname for Doctor Who fans — “for the love they showed to my father over the decades.” Russell T. Davies, who has had two stints showrunning Doctor Who, called Leeson “a true gent and a great loss.” Born in 1943, John Ducker, as he was known then, went to RADA before landing many theater and TV roles in the 1960s and 1970s. He got his huge break in 1977 as the voice of K9 in Doctor Who, the hugely popular robot dog who accompanies the Doctor through various adventures and incarnations. He had further stints in the role before returning in The Sarah Jane Adventures and K9 spin-offs decades later in the late-2000s. Leeson also appeared in shows like Blake’s 7, Crossroads and Vanity Fair. In game shows, Leeson appeared in episodes of Pointless Celebrities, Celebrity Eggheads, The Weakest Link, and The Generation Game. He married Judy Griffiths, who was then a producer’s assistant on hit BBC kids show Blue Peter, in 1969. |

The Celebrity Traitors bowed out with record ratings on Friday.
