Description
Ten years and $260 million later, IAC Chairman Barry Diller and his wife, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg have unveiled Little Island, the floating park along the west side of Manhattan. In Squawk Box’s first on location interview in over a year, Andrew Ross Sorkin sits down--outside and 6 feet away--with Barry Diller in the 2+ acres of green space now open to the public. The two discuss New York’s sunny reopening after a long, dark year. Plus, the media mogul shares his thoughts on the AT&T-Discovery deal, Amazon’s play for MGM Studios, and where media consolidation leaves Comcast, Disney, and Netflix. Ahead of the Apple vs. Epic Games courtroom drama, Diller weighs in on tech power and regulation.
