Can an independent TV company really compete against mega-streamers Netflix, Disney and Amazon Prime? AMC Networks says yes, and one reason why is it's led by a woman who speaks fluent content, tech, and revenue in the same breath. I caught AMC Networks CEO Kristin Dolan in convo with Variety’s Cynthia Littleton yesterday at the The Paley Center for Media. She explained how the company rebuilt its entire tech stack to be platform-agnostic and ad-optimized, working with cable ops and ad research. The result? AMC’s now ubiquitous: 5 linear networks, 7 streamers and 140 FAST (free ad-supported streaming TV) channels. That’s 110M monthly viewers—without being a tech giant. #Streaming #TV #KristinDolan #AMCNetworks #AdTech #FASTchannels #

It’s not everyday you get to interview the Karate Kid himself, Ralph Macchio! Here the latest on the upcoming Karate Kid: Legends film from Ralph in this clip at PaleyFest LA 2025. A huge moment in my media/creator career and an absolute pleasure to finally have this time to speak with Ralph. 6 years of hard work and it finally paid off! 👊 What also amazed me was that a senior journalist named Na’Vell J. Lee who I met on the PaleyFest carpet said he heard Ralph say to his publicist: “I need to talk to this guy he’s been supporting us the whole way” which meant so much to me as he appreciated the hard work and effort with Cobra Kai Nation. Thanks to Na’Vell for sharing this as I wasn’t aware Ralph said this as I was locked in preparing for those carpet interviews! A huge thank you to The Paley Center for Media team and Axel Reyes who were amazing to partner with for a collaboration. They made this experience so much better and I felt their value! #PaleyFest #RalphMacchio #CobraKai #KarateKid #KarateKidLegends #DanielLaRusso #ContentCreator #YouTuber #CobraKaiNation #Journalist #Interview
