Advertising executives who entered Radio City Music Hall on Monday for NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation were greeted by an orchestra playing the familiar themes of the network’s landmark shows, such as “Law & Order” and “NBC Nightly News.” It was a nod to broadcasting’s rich history, which for the rest of the week would be relegated to the distant past. Streaming video now makes up 37% of U.S. television viewing, better than either broadcast or cable TV, according to Nielsen data. The May presentations by media companies, meant to entice advertising sales commitments for the 2024-25 TV season, reflected the shift, with Amazon’s Prime Video and Netflix joining the in-person annual festivities for the first time. Ad buyers had to leave their ride shares and walk down FDR Drive on Manhattan’s Lower East Side to join the overflow crowd gathered for Amazon’s presentation, which opened with a performance by Alicia Keys, followed by appearances from Will Ferrell, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal. Across town, Netflix exhibits re-created sets from “Bridgerton,” “Squid Game” and “Wednesday.” At its reception, the streamer served food from chefs featured on its

For three years, Amy Baack has been teaching free yoga classes in the open air at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park in San Diego every week. But last Wednesday, she arrived for her 6 p.m. class to find three park ranger trucks parked on the cliffs. Some of her students, who were visibly upset and crying, were talking to the rangers. Because of a new ordinance passed in March, the rangers said, community gatherings of four or more people that could be considered a business weren’t allowed at Sunset Cliffs anymore. Baack had worked with park rangers in the past, who allowed her and other yoga teachers to hold donation-based classes as long as they included fewer than 50 people and didn’t use any amplified sound. “This is definitely not where I get my business,” said Baack, who also offers private yoga and meditation classes for a fee. “This is more about community and creating that sense of collective here in San Diego because we get people from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds.” Amy Baack, background, leads a yoga class at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park

With the years-long success of series like “Project Runway” and “America’s Next Top Model,” fashion competition reality TV shows are nothing new. But “OMG Fashun” is a different type of series ripe for short attention spans and a style-savvy generation more attuned to the concerns about the environment. “There’s so many awful things happening in the world,” says Julia Fox , the show’s co-host, over the phone from New Mexico, where she’s in production for a movie. “And this isn’t one of them.” “OMG Fashun,” which premiered May 6 on E! and airs weekly at 9 p.m. Pacific, is a thrilling reality competition series hosted by Fox, fashion’s “It” girl and cultural renegade, and celebrity stylist Law Roach. The show brings sustainable fashion to the forefront with quickfire competitions and a rotation of guest judges that includes Phaedra Parks of “Real Housewives” fame, “13 Reasons Why” star Tommy Dorfman and more. But “OMG Fashun” opts for snackable episodes primed for the TikTok generation — roughly 20 minutes each — that feature three rising “fashion disruptors” competing in two separate challenges. The catch? They’re encouraged to

A video showing embattled music legend Sean “Diddy” Combs violently attacking his then-girlfriend in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016 is likely to add more urgency to a federal sex-trafficking investigation into the star. The video shows Combs chasing, kicking, dragging and hurling a glass vase at Cassie, a singer whose real name is Casandra Ventura. It was obtained Friday by CNN and corroborates parts of a civil lawsuit Ventura filed against Combs last year, which was settled a day after it was filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The video is not related to the federal probe, but it is drawing more attention to the ongoing investigation. Law enforcement sources told The Times that Combs is the subject of a sweeping inquiry into sex-trafficking allegations that resulted in a federal raid in March at his estates in Los Angeles and Miami. Combs has not been charged with any crime and has denied any wrongdoing. Allegations against Combs have piled up in recent years. Four women have accused him of rape, assault and other abuses, dating back three decades.

Johnny Martinez has support from pillars of the community. Officials from the American Civil Liberties Union, law professors, a pastor, a high school principal and two commissioners of the Los Angeles County Probation Department have all urged a judge to grant him bail. Except Martinez is no ordinary defendant. Nicknamed “Crow,” he is a member of the Mexican Mafia, federal prosecutors say, charged with ordering a series of murders that allowed him to maintain a grip over street gangs and jail inmates in Orange County. Prosecutors say Martinez was caught on a wiretap threatening to have someone shot in the head and boasting of several murders. Martinez became eligible for bail in December after his 1995 murder conviction was overturned. Charged at 18 with the murder of a man killed during a brawl, Martinez was convicted under the theory that the death was a “natural and probable consequence” of participating in the fight. Sentenced to 26 years to life in prison, Martinez spent the next three decades filing writs, appeals and petitions as a self-taught jailhouse lawyer. After the state Legislature raised the standard of

Vandenberg Space Force Base held closing ceremonies Friday to commemorate the end of National Police Week. The ceremonies included a Lompoc police officer who spoke about losing friends and colleagues in the line of duty, and security forces at the base saying the names of those who have fallen followed by the ringing of a bell for each individual. KSBY spoke with a member of the security services at the base who emphasized the importance of police week. “It’s just a time to recognize those that have given their lives in the line of duty,” Lt. Col. David Temple said, who is the 30th security services squadron commander at the base. “It’s really just a somber week, but a week of celebration of what people have sacrificed for us to continue on in the freedoms that we have” Police week is held at the base to celebrate and honor the men and women policing the base and providing security.
