but viacom cbs is controlled by sherry redstone. so whether or not that company sells is entirely up to her at this point now roku is also an appealing and valuable piece of the streaming landscape, but it's increasingly expensive asset worth noting that the stock is up 230% in the past 12 months so that might give any potential buyer some point for pause before making a deal right now guys, back over to you >> julia boorstin, thank you >>> viacom cbs shooting to the top of the s&p 500 despite we don't know how serious this is and comcast said not in advance discussions. >> comcast is our parent company as well. this seems to be a lot of hurdles as well to this. the fact that you have nbc and cbs, two of the broadcast networks within what would be a combined company and as we've discussed as well, in fact, just with mike yesterday, with roku that one of the attractions of roku is it's agnostic to a lot of the channels and services that it carries. of course, that would cease to be the case in that type and just the share price react

. >> makes for great photos in the meantime >>> a robert redstone rumor, the nfl's media moves.ch more is in today's rapid fire right after this quick break. >>> let's catch you up on a couple of stories that should be on your radar. joining me to break down the headlines, bob pisani, sarah fisher and ed lee of the "new york times." big media theme here today great to have you with us. we're going to begin with a streaming land grab after the bombshell discovery and time warner spinoff last month. all eyes on the media giants to see where the next megamerger might occur.

they place two of these big spinning tubs on top of a large redstone rocket and at the very peak was a single baby sergeant whose aim was to launch the world's first satellite. and on september 20th 1956. they launched jupiter sea. and the women who are in the control room that night told me how exciting a launch this was because that rocket broke all records for the time. it broke speed records. it broke altitude records it rose 3,335 miles into the air. but at its peak there was no satellite. in fact, it was actually weighed down with sandbags and the reason for this is because the eisenhower administration had not given them the go-ahead to launch a satellite. and so you can imagine how frustrated they were less than a month later when the soviet union launches sputnik on october 4th, 1957. and in fact the women i talked to are still angry about this that's very frustrating because they know given the opportunity they could have launched before them and it actually isn't until a second buttnik is launched that eisenhower's eisenhower's the group that go ahead. and so on december 3

sherry redstone said we are not interested. what do you think of the antitrust part?ese broadcast networks to come together. stuart: the administration would cheer them on. >> it would be like free cable, free to watch type of broadcast networks coming together two of those emerging, there would be a lot of discussions about that and roku, the hardware. stuart: so what should i buy? roku or viacom cvs? which is most likely? >> i love the intrigue. stuart: you are not going to tell me? >> roku as a distribution network and comcast with their own boxes and extremity system, might be better for them as an international content play. stuart: should we leave it at that? the definitive answer? >> in media everyone is talking to everybody, there will be deals in the future, in 5 years the landscape will look different than it does now. stuart: i want to know how to cash in on it now so they look better in 5 years time. stuart: look at the stock moves. >> ally by viacom? let's look at a new fox poll shows 83% of us ordinary people are concerned about inflation. 83%. and econo
