The awesome news is that cord-cutting *is* accelerating. There is no question about it.

Disney has significant advantages over other bidders to acquire Twitter. First, Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey serves on Disney’s Board of Directors.

MTV will take over VH1 Classic and re-brand it MTV Classic, bringing with it a slate of television shows like Beavis and Butthead and Daria that helped fuel the network’s growth in the 1990s.
