2025 was the year of loose ends, according to Digiday executive editor of news Seb Joseph. He and managing editor Sara Jerde joined Digiday Podcast hosts Kimeko McCoy and Tim Peterson to gather together those loose ends and assess which may be tied up in 2026.

Among those loose ends are Netflix’s planned acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio and streaming businesses, WPP’s turnaround plan, TikTok’s U.S. spinoff, ChatGPT’s expected ad product and the resulting remedies of Google’s ad tech antitrust trial.
