    Matt Belloni, editorial director of The Hollywood Reporter, joins Kim Masters to discuss top entertainment news stories of the week.

    • A ruling on the AT&T-Time Warner merger is expected June 12. The Justice Department sued to stop the consolidation--a move that may or may not have been politically motivated. If the merger is allowed to go forward, as many believe it will be, it will only increase the trend towards consolidation in the industry.

    • There have been lots of stories about showrunners leaving their home networks to go to Netflix, but one showrunner will be staying put. Greg Berlanti just signed a $400 million deal at Warner Bros TV.
