The National Football League has met with the Federal Communications Commission as the league faces scrutiny from federal regulators. League officials requested the meeting, which took place last Friday in Washington. The FCC recently sought public comments on the ongoing shift of live sports from broadcast channels to streaming services. As of Wednesday, nearly 8,700 comments have been logged. The NFL is not alone in creating packages for streamers. Its standing as the most popular league and the revenue it receives from media rights, however, put it front and center in a changing landscape.

Elon Musk has been summoned to Paris as part of an investigation into alleged misconduct on the social media platform X. French authorities are looking into the spread of child sexual abuse material and deepfake content. Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino have been invited for voluntary interviews. It's unclear if they will attend. The investigation is still ongoing after a search at X's French premises in February. French prosecutors have alerted U.S. authorities, but the Justice Department reportedly declined to assist. Reporters Without Borders has also filed a complaint against X for allowing disinformation.

Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison has promised to release 30 movies a year between Paramount and Warner Bros. He announced this commitment at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, emphasizing a 45-day exclusive theatrical window. The announcement comes amid Paramount's pending $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The studio also revealed a third “Top Gun” movie is in development as part of its starry presentation to exhibitors. The merger has sparked debate, with some filmmakers opposing it due to concerns about its impact on the exhibition business. The deal still awaits regulatory approval and a shareholder vote.
