But recent headlines suggest a change may need to happen. While these reality TV competitions are entertaining and contribute to enormous viewership, a number of contestants push the envelope excessively — backstabbing, gossiping, and revealing outrageous behavior. The latest example was Sunday night, on the history-making live finale of CBS’ “Big Brother,” when fan favorite Taylor Hale overcame numerous adversities to become the first Black female to ever win a non-celebrity version of the game, taking home $750,000....

The feature film will be released in multiple versions and is set to use groundbreaking generative technology in its creation and exhibition. “Eno” incorporates hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage for the career-spanning take on Eno’s life, including unreleased music from Eno’s personal archive and visual art. “Eno” is the first authorized documentary on the artist. Insiders noted that the film may “take on a myriad” of different forms depending on viewing platform, similar to how Eno uses technology to compose music....

Deadline reports that Fukunaga, who won the Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series for his work on “True Detective” in 2014, will also produce the Apple TV+ World War II series. The project hails from Spielberg’s Amblin Television, and Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman’s Playtone. It’s possible that “Masters of the Air” will be the first of several Apple TV+ projects that Fukunaga works on; Deadline also reported that the Cupertino tech company was nearing a first-look deal with Fukunaga to develop other television projects....

Discovery, which is under a particular (and mostly self-appointed) edict to majorly cut costs....
