Election season delivered a windfall for broadcasters: Fox reported record quarterly revenue on November 3, with advertising up sharply and political ads topping $350 million, even as Nielsen data showed its cable news audience shrinking. A day later, newly independent Versant reported its first results since splitting from Comcast, blamed pay-TV declines for lower revenue, closed a golf acquisition and pushed back on Fox’s explanation for falling cable news ratings.

In streaming, Netflix trimmed staff at one of its international offices, rolled out a new AI-powered recommendation interface, ordered a young adult series based on a 2005 bestseller and saw a romantic comedy and a celebrity docuseries lead its English-language chart. ReelShort moved to adapt two romance novels into vertical series, a streamer licensed a Wall Street documentary to broadcasters abroad, Disney and WWE expanded their partnership with a Marvel-themed event, and a horror studio shortened its name.

At the movies, an A24 documentary narrowly topped a slow Halloween weekend, India’s big-budget epic “Ramayana: Part 1” opened worldwide on November 5, and Friday brings “Godzilla Minus Zero,” an animated Dr. Seuss adaptation and a new black comedy from an Oscar-nominated playwright. The week also brought the death of the actor who voiced one of British TV’s most famous robot sidekicks.
