Meta eyes cloud play to monetize idle AI capacity

Bloomberg reports Meta Platforms is building a cloud business to sell excess AI compute capacity, aiming to diversify beyond advertising and compete with AWS, Microsoft, and Alphabet; one option under consideration is offering customers access to AI models hosted on Meta’s infrastructure, similar to AWS Bedrock. Meta’s Zuckerberg has signaled cloud could be pursued if data-center overbuilds occur. Reuters could not verify the details, Meta did not comment, and shares were up in premarket trading.

Hydration Breaks Turn World Cup Games Into Advertising Intermissions

FIFA has introduced three-minute hydration breaks in all 2026 World Cup matches to protect players from heat, but critics say the stops disrupt play and create predictable ad windows; analysts frame the move as part of a broader push to commercialize the tournament and capitalize on the US media market, with billions in broadcast rights and advertising at stake, while FIFA says the breaks ensure equal conditions and could evolve (likely shorter) as climate and broadcast economics continue to shape the event.

Fox Skips Shakira, Turns Hydration Breaks into Commercial Clock at World Cup Opener

Fox’s World Cup opener in Mexico City did not show Shakira’s opening ceremony performance and instead cut to full-screen ads during FIFA’s new three-minute hydration breaks, while Telemundo aired the performance. The hydration breaks are a heat-related rule that also create new sponsor revenue opportunities, and Fox’s hybrid plan—mixing analysis with ads—was still being finalized as the network prepares for upcoming USMNT coverage.

"Paramount's Layoffs: Impact on CBS News Staff and First Amendment Case"

Approximately 20 CBS News staffers, including correspondents Jeff Pegues and Catherine Herridge, were laid off as part of broader layoffs at Paramount Global. The layoffs come as Paramount struggles to compete in the era of streaming video and faces a shortfall in advertising revenue. The decision to announce the layoffs one day after the successful broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII has raised questions among employees. The removal of Pegues and Herridge leaves a gap in CBS News' coverage of the U.S. Department of Justice and national security.

"Fox's Q2 Earnings: Advertising Revenue Plummets 20% to $2B, Meeting Wall Street Expectations"

Fox's advertising revenue dropped 20% to $2 billion in its fiscal second-quarter earnings report, but the company met Wall Street expectations, with overall revenues at $4.2 billion. The decline in ad revenue was attributed to factors such as the absence of the FIFA World Cup and midterm political ad revenue from the previous year, as well as lower ratings and higher preemptions at Fox News. Despite the challenges, affiliate revenues were up 4%, driven by the Fox broadcast network, and Tubi, Fox's streaming service, showed growth. The company also announced a new sports streaming service in partnership with Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery, targeting the "cord-nevers" market. CEO Lachlan Murdoch expressed confidence in Fox News's position and addressed the mixed performance of the local stations, anticipating a record political cycle in the future.
