Courtney Williams joined Variety executive editor Debra Birnbaum to co-moderate this year’s Entertainment and Technology Summit where the rising costs of television production and marketing was a key theme: Netflix has shifted the balance of power in the television universe, pouring money into original programming and handing out generous straight-to-series orders. But Kevin Reilly, president of TNT and TBS, believes that there is an upside to Netflix’s tactics for linear and digital competitors. On the panel we also welcomed Susanne Daniels, Global Head of Content for YouTube, Craig Erwich, SVP and Head of Content for Hulu, Jason Kassin, co-founder and CEO of FilmTrack and Jeff Wachtel, President and Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment.
