The outlook for film and television content production these days is pretty bleak due to the massive wrench the COVID-19 outbreak has thrown into Hollywood’s cogs. While streamers, film studios and television networks are working their way through content that they’ve had on the shelves, that supply will eventually dwindle, and the demand for fresh content will increase. How are the major players planning for this? What’s being done about loss of advertising revenue due to the outbreak?

Today on AirTalk, Larry chats with host John Horn of “The Frame” and Deadline Hollywood senior editor Dominic Patten about some of the major stories we’re following in the entertainment business:

• Cable TV networks are filling programming holes by buying rights to streaming shows

• Advertising forecast for cable TV networks as major advertisers cancel commitments

• Cancellations of film festivals like Cannes, Tribeca, SXSW and what that means for cinema

• How streaming success of movies like “Scoob!” and “Trolls: World Tour” could be a sign that theatrical and VOD film releases could co-exist (Disney also bailing on “Hamilton” theatrical release in lieu of digital)
