Four years ago,
a surprise challenge.
Cord-cutting on the rise
and ratings in the doldrums;
Beyoncé and the king,
engaged.

According to a letter,
Beyoncé is in trouble.
Rivals:
Chris Hughes and Gabriel Snyder;
looking to swipe a piece of Beyoncé.
There’s nothing like an all-staff memo to cool the awkward office tension.

Michael Strahan- trying to handle the controversy.
Rivals:
looking to bring in $2 billion.
Beyoncé-refuses to engage.
The king- a longtime loss-leader.
There goes his gold.
