Byron Allen’s vision for BuzzFeed, Starz, and beyond
Published 3 months ago
Description
When media mogul Bryon Allen took a controlling stake in BuzzFeed in May – becoming its CEO and chairman – it was his latest bold bet in a volatile media landscape. The Allen Media Group founder joins Rapid Response to explain his strategy for BuzzFeed (note: we recorded this before BuzzFeed announced layoffs for 35% of its staff), taking over Stephen Colbert's former CBS time slot with his Comics Unleashed, why YouTube and Netflix aren't untouchable in the streaming wars, and why race matters in media ownership.
