The Hollywood Show That Kept Showing Up
Behind the Scenes has outlasted feeds, formats and the usual Hollywood reinventions by turning one weekly conversation into radio, television, podcasts and clips. Its trick is less glamorous than its guest list: access, chemistry and the discipline to return next Friday.
E! News outgrew the 11 p.m. appointment
The nightly show ended. The celebrity conversation kept going. Inside a media brand learning which parts of television belong on a phone - and which still deserve a red carpet.
The Ankler
The Ankler (Ankler Media) is an independent, subscription-driven media company covering the business of Hollywood and the collision of entertainment, media and technology. Founded as a one-man newsletter by Richard Rushfield in 2017 and expanded into a full media company with former Hollywood Reporter/Billboard chief Janice Min as CEO in 2022, it has grown into a multi-platform operation of roughly 15 newsletters, podcasts, video and live events - read by studio chiefs and moguls it covers, raised $1.5M at a $20M valuation via Y Combinator, and reportedly aiming for $10M in annual revenue in 2026.
Puck
Puck is a New York-based digital media company founded in 2021 that covers the four centers of American power - Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Washington, and Wall Street. It treats journalists like founders, giving its writers equity and a cut of the subscription revenue their newsletters generate, and reaches readers through email newsletters, podcasts, and live events.
