Allen Media Broadcasting and Disney Entertainment Television announced on September 9, 2026, a multi-year renewal of ABC affiliations covering seven stations in markets including Honolulu, Flint, and three Wisconsin cities. The announcement confirms continued access to ABC programming but omits the agreement's duration, affiliation fees, retransmission-consent revenue sharing, and streaming provisions. Those undisclosed terms are the same details that define the economics of broadcast affiliation deals industry-wide, making the announcement informative on structure but silent on substance.

In March 2023, BBC Studios established BBC Studios Social, an in-house global advertising sales function covering more than 90 branded social channels on platforms including YouTube, TikTok, and Snapchat, reaching 4.7 billion social views. The unit sells direct advertising, branded entertainment, and sponsorship tied to properties such as BBC Earth, Top Gear, and Bluey, with regional sales leadership added for North America and Latin America by June 2023. Revenue-sharing terms between BBC Studios and the social platforms have not been publicly disclosed.
