I doubt there will be anything prior to Bob Live. Perhaps after. If yesterday’s number is remotely accurate it’s not even close to being done.

No matter what, doesn’t make Moonves less of a POS than Harvey Weinstein as Harvey got caught. Shari was just strategic about it and used it against him when he least expected it while he thought she was his “friend.” How sweet. LOL Now they’ll all go down as garbage together. F. THEM. ALL.
Redstones NAI put on credit alert because of ViacomCBS & low theater attendance predicted for NAI and coronavirus fears
Oh yeah making CBS better with Reality TV & Katie Couric ? News was never the same after Cronkite, Dan rather was a disaster and Couric was worse - bakish is a baffoon but CBS has nowhere to go but down, Shari just accelerated it's demise
Got lucky with Survivor. All you fools tooting the same horn. CBS was great before Moonves but guess what he made it even better and kept it successful. It's one thing getting a company that is successful but then continue to make it successful? Bob Bakish has only been with the company for how long and look at the terror he is causing. More to come and keep your eye on the stock as it even gets lower and lower.
Uh cbs was the TIFFANY Network long before Les came along, CBS started declining viewership soon after Les was CEO - off a cliff by the time he left , the entire CBS culture was animal House under him if you worked in NYC. He's a fraud that just got lucky with Survivor and just milked the job into the cellar
If you worked for the company for 20 years with Moonves as the leader and how things were throughout that time and then see how the company is today? Sick is how it's turned out now.
How appropriate ViaconCBS stock will be at $20 20 soon
#1 is irrelevant when viewership decreases every year. Better to be #4 With increasing viewership every year. Position in ratings means nothing if your average share was 25+ thirty years ago and is anywhere between a 7 and a 1 share depending on which daypart or Target market . Supporting Les moonves for any reason at this point is sick
Spelled "BYOB" Bakish...
i can envision cnbc's Rick santelli on the chicago trading floor chastising Shari for making Bob CEO and his causing the meltdown of the share price - as he chastised obama in '08 for market meltdown
you can bet ViacomCBS people are keeping an EYE on these posts..
Boob Bakish - anybody can come in and layoff people and Sell assets is right
The Layoff.com landing page says: Personal Experiences, RUMOR and SPECULATION about your workplace... that is unless the Administrator picks and chooses what you can talk sbout
Bob "Sell Sell SELL!!!!: Bakish
What About Bob? news movie from Paramount with BOB Bakish taking on the role originally performed by Bill Murray
I'm not so sure Moonves built the company - it has been in nothing but ratings decline for the 20 years he was in control and the 20 years before that. so he knew the ratings WERE in decline when he came in and he did NOTHING to correct it. Moonves GOT LUCKY at times - with shows such as SURVIVOR. I f you buy or produce enough shows and one becomes a perennial smash hit - doesn't mean you are a genius - especially if ratings overall are declining year by year. The writing was on the wall and Moonves just went through the motions - he didn't buy Yahoo for a song when he could have, he didn't buy google or any of those platforms such as netflix - when he could have at least made an attempt to take them over or compete or create any platforms SOONER. In addition - CBS contracts with unions always delayed or postponed advancement in technology. CBS interactive was the only prospect CBS thought of. Moonves sat on his laurels as a CEO for 20 years. CBS has always been a day late and a dollar short.
Applebees
I would have chosen the dog to be the CEO also. Bob is no leader and can never be another Moonves and he built the company through the years.
Someone remind me Not to devalue the companies by 16 Billion in 6 mos. - so layoffs and selling assests in a game of catch up isn't the only option. Make sure Shari gets the Memo
BOB selling off Simon & Schuster on eBay with his Watch as an add-on. Seriously though my neighbors dog could have become CEO and sold off everything but the kitchen sink. Laying people off and selling assests is Not the sign of a leader - it's the sign of a loser. Does he actually know how to generate income and grow a company?
Maybe there won't be BOB LIVE after the morgan stanley Tech & Media conference... Bob Bakish one of the only Execs from media still attending this week because of Coronavirus concerns. Maybe this is an easy way of Viac to get rid of him by - by virus
Can confirm a ton of layoffs at Pop TV in Marketing yesterday. Could be more today.
Seemed out of it yesterday
Bob not looking too confident if you look at BET 40th Anniv. photos at NASDAQ from mid-feb, he looks like dead-man walking. slowly fading into the background. his face at nasdaq opening bell looks like "one of these things is Not like the other - one of these things just doesn't belong". Quite a 180 degree from DEC 4 Viacomcbs opening bell at NASDAQ where he is front and center and posed to look bigger than he actually is - AS WELL as all the photos up to that day (the day before 1st earnings report as viacomcbs). he hasn't commented on anything BUT the earnings report in the last few weeks. any quote in recent articles are attributed to earlier interviews - there are NO fresh comments from Bakish in weeks. He's supposed to be in Frisco mar 4 - lets see what he has to say to analysts.
Wolfgang - what happened?
shameful that posts were deleted, this is all anonymous to begin with. there is some truth in every post and it's up to the reader to decide what is true and what is not - Not for the administrator to pick and choose which comments should be posted. the truth comes out in the wash - so if there were posts here that were deleted because of the administrator's politics then it will reveal itself soon enough
I'm hearing Pop was hit today in Marketing and Programming/Research. Anybody confirming?
Who is deleting the comments? The admin? So much for free speech.
Yes comments are being deleted.
are posts being deleted here?
I should have just said Comcast instead of Peacock and then add Warner. Where does that leave this dump now? In the garbage. CBS as a network is also an old bag magnet. Garbage.
Good point. MIddle class does most of the work and hardly ever credited for it.
Why does nobody ask, why are we still behind in almost every aspect of the entertainment industry? Do you really think the no faith wall street has in us is based on merger costs and other nonsense dude? Disney which also owns Hulu, then Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Peacock, have already done it. So how the hell are we going to catch up unless we get to whatever the next level is FIRST?! Get your head out of your butts “leaders.” Don’t take your failures out on the smarter middle class by laying them off. Money def does not equal smart, that’s for s sure!
Shari doesn't know the difference between a #2 pencil and Bob's #2 pencil. Just because people have money doesn't mean they are smart. Also my gosh almost everyone in this industry doesn't know how to keep their zipper zipped! Keep them in a cage I say.
wild
For realllllll
Where the f— is my CBS all access login?
i'm hoping for at least some another Viacom CBS notebook today
Nothing of substance will be discussed at today’s town hall. Another useless pep rally.
Somebody, get me the ghostbusters
