While Amazon Prime may be a draw for some subscribers for its exclusive live sports offerings and feature films, rather than its original scripted series, one thing is for certain: it has gained nearly 30 million paid subscribers in the U.S. in the last five years.

In what could be its last second quarter earnings report, Fubo, which is being acquired by The Walt Disney Co., delivered results that exceeded both its subscriber and revenue guidance. This led investors to snap up shares in the "Sports First" vMVPD, bringing it closer to a new year-to-date high.

How can Saga Communications get out of the doldrums with its future quarterly revenue reviews? "We have to sell our way out," says CEO Chris Forgy.

The owner of broadcast radio stations and the Westwood One national radio unit "continued to outperform" its radio peers in the quarter, gaining market share across all broadcast spot revenue channels.
