    Sony Launches FAST Service Live TV on PS5

The service features over 100 live channels and on-demand content, accessible directly through the PS5 media area without needing additional apps. Programming includes Sony’s own content, third-party channels from Lionsgate, Fox, NBCU, Bloomberg, Spotify, and A+E, as well as shows like The Walking Dead and Hell's Kitchen, Crunchyroll anime, and sports from Fox Sports, NBC Sports, NASCAR, and UFC. Sony Pictures Television positions it as a premium advertising environment, with Publica and PubMatic as adtech partners.

A launch in Germany or other European markets hasn't been announced due to licensing constraints.

    Sony Sees 13% Drop in Motion Pictures Revenue

    Sony Pictures Entertainment reported a 13% decline in motion pictures revenue for its fiscal first quarter (three months ended June 30, 2026), with the unit generating $645 million versus $742 million a year earlier. The decline was driven by a much lighter theatrical slate (one North American release vs. four in the prior-year quarter), which reduced box-office and ancillary income while lowering marketing and distribution costs. Overall SPE sales fell 13% to $1.98 billion, but operating income rose 21% to $154 million. Other divisions showed mixed results: television production revenue fell 32% to $571 million, media networks revenue rose 10% to $744 million, Crunchyroll surpassed 21 million paid subscribers, music revenue increased 22% to 557.9 billion yen, and PlayStation hardware and services were broadly flat with 1.6 million PS5 units sold in the quarter.

    • Sony Pictures Entertainment motion pictures revenue fell 13% to $645 million in the quarter ending June 30, 2026 (down from $742 million).
    • SPE sales declined 13% to $1.98 billion; SPE operating income rose 21% to $154 million due to lower marketing and distribution expenses.
    • Television production revenue fell 32% to $571 million from $841 million year-over-year, driven by fewer series deliveries.

    Universal's 1931 Frankenstein and Dracula Enter Public Domain

    Three original Universal Pictures horror films from 1931 — Dracula (English), the Spanish-language Drácula, and Frankenstein — will enter the U.S. public domain on January 1, 2027. The change results from the 95-year copyright term for works published in 1931 that were properly renewed, allowing unrestricted use of the films' specific creative elements. The article outlines historical context (directors, leading actors, production details) and notes that trademarks, later restorations, or actors' publicity rights may still limit certain commercial uses even after public-domain entry. The transition is presented as enabling new adaptations, educational uses, and remixes while preserving the films' cultural legacy.

    • The 1931 films Dracula (Tod Browning), the Spanish-language Drácula (George Melford), and Frankenstein (James Whale) will enter the U.S. public domain on 2027-01-01.
    • The public-domain entry follows the standard 95-year copyright term for works published in 1931 that were properly renewed.
    • Universal Pictures produced these films; Carl Laemmle Jr. led the studio during this period.
