You bring up some interesting points. I always assumed David owned 100% of the rights to his shows and likely still does. But what about when they are on Verb.TV?
Not just his shows but others. Who owns the rights?
"...today announced that the Company has entered into an agreement with David Meltzer to serve as an executive producer at verbTV , the shoppable entertainment extension of VERB’s livestream shopping destination, Marketplace (codename)."
"As an executive producer at verbTV, Mr. Meltzer will produce content for VERB’s shoppable entertainment channel. The first among many verbTV programs in development will be Season 3 of “2 Minute Drill,” a reality TV competition created and hosted by Mr. Meltzer, Seasons 1 and 2 of which are currently available for viewing on the Bloomberg Television Network and Amazon Prime Video."
So I fired up the google machine and took a look to see exactly what is a Executive Producer
"Executive producer (EP) is one of the top positions in the making of a commercial entertainment product. Depending on the medium, the executive producer may be concerned with management accounting or associated with legal issues (like copyrights or royalties).[1] In films, the executive producer generally contributes to the film's budget and their involvement depends on the project, with some simply securing funds and others being involved in the filmmaking process."
"In television, an executive producer usually supervises the creative content and the financial aspects of a production. Some writers, like Aaron Sorkin, Stephen J. Cannell, Tina Fey, and Ryan Murphy, have worked as both the creator and the producer of the same show.[7] In the case of multiple executive producers on a television show, the one outranking the others is called the showrunner,[8] or the leading executive producer."

So creates and funds the content. Got it!
Next question is, how does the Executive Producer make money
With traditional television it would have to be getting a cut of advertising revenue
With Verb.TV it would be getting a cut of the advertising and sales revenue?
Will Verb's model be, whatever content that goes on Verb.TV they own or will it be blended. At some point, I assume Rory will explain the revenue share model.
In any bushel, Apple entering the picture just made this a very interesting love triangle.
Guess what?
I got a feverb! And the only prescription.. is more cowbell!
I was buying more cowbell at $1.20 a piece on Friday and only got 80% filled. Maybe a shert will help with the rest?
