Not wanting to cause drama

Thanks in advance

My guess is the wan show will be the first video/broadcast about this topic. I wouldn't be surprised if it was more of a presentation or roundtable of the major players with what they found and what the plan is. 

 

If not that it'll be Luke and Linus having a very serious show laying out the plan to resume regular uploads. 

 

I'm honestly very surprised they waited more than a week considering the revenue they need from the videos they make.

The event scheduled by auto scheduler doesnt mean anything really.

Why not let them not have one this week and get work done...I know it's an unpopular opinion but there's more important things in this than the WAN show.

I agree, mostly because they need a more formal format to kick off the reboot of their channel, laying out all the measures they've put in place to alleviate the crunch and workplace issues, and to avoid any future pitfalls. Not sure doing that while Linus is seeing potentially spiky and snarky merch messages would be the wisest decision. It's all still a little too soon.

 

Then, when the WAN show does come back, they will have some positive stuff to talk about -- how the changes are working out so far, etc.

I sincerely hope there's a WAN show this week.

The longer they wait the more viewers they will lose that will find others thing to do

Okey general consensus is there isn't an announcement yet so just wait and see, I agree that WAN MAY NOT be the best way to come back but they also need to still make revenue to pay staff. 

 

And which ever way they do decide to come back will not please everyone.

I don't think so, it'll be a slight hick up in the grand scheme of LTT.

If he is reading along here in the forum, I would not be surprised

Let's bear in mind that these kinds of offers are not ones where the buyer simply brings a suitcase of currency and gets the office door keys in return.  The full value of the deal could've ultimately been $100 mil, but it would undoubtedly be structured.  Yes, there would likely be an upfront payment in cash -- enough money that Linus and Yvonne would not have to work for a long time -- but the rest could be some combination of a services contract with Linus and Yvonne (e.g. "You each get $1 million a year in salary for the next 5 years as long as you keep working at LMG to advise management"), equity in the acquiring company, and/or performance-based payouts over the next 5 or 10 years (i.e. they get an escalating number of millions every year LMG hits particular revenue targets).  These are all to make sure that Linus not only doesn't hurt the brand, but actively works to keep it on a positive financial trajectory.

I'm personally dreading the next WAN show, although I guess Linus might actually be banned from 'hot takes' at this point, and the show will be on a 30 second delay to allow for Dan to cut the show if he goes off the rails!

 

I'm going to take a guess and say it will be the most profitable show ever in terms of merch messages when all the fan boys buy crap they don't need to 'support' LMG.

 

Merch messages will also be intolerable, and probably unbroadcastable, either because they are bad for LMG or they're LMG fanboys going on about how bad GN are.

Saturday the 26th?

What would be wise, if they do a few things with whenever the next WAN show airs:

1. Turn off Merch Messages for the next airing of the show.  It's OK to have sponsors and monetize.
2. Have Linus and the new CEO start the show and make whatever statements need to be made.
3. Then Luke comes back.
4. Have a show with just news and discussion and no WAN after dark.
5. Go back to the standard format with the following week's show.
   
   This avoids further drama from Merch Messages, allows to wrap the story up so to speak and gets everything back on track.  By the following week once things have normalized, I think the Merch Messages will calm down as well.
   
   Personally, I think this is what they should've done last week, but it makes sense for their weekly "main event" (sort of like what TWiT is in Leo Laporte land) show to be the show that restarts everything.  So doing it today after a week plus is also a good way of doing this.

I'm willing to bet that they won't, and they will have to deal with the crap in the Merch Messages.

Every second of delay after this WAN show just points to epic infighting. They announced a week, its been 9 days.

Turning off Merch messages is a really sharp two-edged sword.

If they do, a lot of uncomfortable question won't have any way to reach them. Tactically savvy. However... this could be a huge backlash...

dude... its been a week. calm down.
Let them get things done right. m-f is a week as well

Weekends are not worked on

And once the new procedures are finished at the end of the week, they then have to PRODUCE a video with the new procedures. which takes time.
