There looks to be a lot of news popping up. The China trade deal seems to have calmed down for now while the streaming competition continues to ramp up. HBO (T Quick QuoteT - Free Report) announces a new streaming service called HBO Max adding to the streaming saturation.  We break down what shows will be available and what HBO has to offer that the others don’t. With Disney+ (DIS Quick QuoteDIS - Free Report) and Apple TV Plus (AAPL Quick QuoteAAPL - Free Report) to launch next month we will have to wait and see the reception of all the newly launched services. At the end we round out our conversation with the NCAA announcing that they will allow athletes to be compensated for names, images and likenesses. This is huge step for the organization since California recently passed a similar law back in September. We will have to wait and see how the regulations for this get worked out and whether or not this will hurt or help the college education system.
