Thank you, Nick and thanks everyone for joining this morning. As we navigate a dynamic and complex media environment, we continue to find opportunities in a strategic plan built around programming, partnerships and profitability. Key to this plan is the creation and curation of celebrated films and series, and making them available to viewers wherever they might choose to watch. I’d like to note the significant progress we’ve made against one of our major strategic priorities, generating strong free cash flow.
