removed his interview from the social network on Friday “because it did not note that the residuals Gunn was referencing are paid by the studio [Warner Bros. Discovery] and not the streamer, Netflix” — a move Gunn said was “absolutely absurd.”“I never even used the word ‘residuals’ in my interview. The point I was making is that we don’t see any residuals for number of views on Netflix.
Instead, we see a very meager amount from WB based on the licensing. Do better @THR,” Gunn wrote before posting a more expansive video response. “The important thing is that the whole point of my interview is that Netflix doesn’t pay residuals to the actors, so there’s no sharing in the success of a show with Netlfix,” he said in the video, which you can watch below.
“It’s true that they pay a licensing fee to Warner Bros. and that Warner Bros. then pays residuals from that licensing fee, which is a very small amount, particularly for a show that’s been off the air for a long time.
But when the show is a huge success and they generate millions of dollars of profits for Netflix, we don’t share in any of that, in large part because there’s no transparency with their numbers.”He continued: “But really, this is about fairness for everybody, and we just want to make sure we have a fair deal. If a show’s a success, we should participate in that. That seems totally reasonable, I think anybody can relate to it.” pic.twitter.com/avnNlBWLLfGunn interviewed with The Hollywood Reporter while picketing with fellow SAG-AFTRA members outside Netflix in Los Angeles on Friday, saying he “particularly wanted to come out and protest Netflix.”“I was on a television show called‘Gilmore Girls’ for a long time that has brought in massive profits for Netflix,”

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large KVEA is clearly doing something right. The Telemundo-owned Los Angeles station, part of a duopoly with sister NBC outlet KNBC, swept this year’s key newscast categories at the 75th Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards. The Spanish language station dominated the evening, winning the Emmys for evening (7 p.m. to 12 a.m.), daytime (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and morning (4 a.m. to 11 a.m.) newscasts. KVEA had won the daytime newscast Emmy last year as well (while KTLA won evening, and KNBC won morning, in 2022). Overall, KVEA earned eight L.A. Area Emmy awards this year, tied with local public broadcaster KCET. (That was also up from KCET’s haul of six last year.) Given the tie with KVEA, that still preserves KCET’s streak of this being the seventh year in a row that KCET won the most.
