    TV Guide magazine chief content officer Michael Schneider joins Kim Masters to discuss top entertainment news stories of the week.

    • Following #OscarsSoWhite, there's been renewed interest in seeking out diverse casting. The sudden boom is said to be linked directly to the Oscars backlash.

    • The Television Academy issued several rule changes at the Emmys that make it easier for both the creators and stars of web series to get nominated.

    • TV viewing was down 6% in 2015. Not surprisingly, half of that drop is attributed to Netflix.
