Hosted by Jane Krakowski, the beloved musical game show tests contestants’ music knowledge as they battle it out in an assortment of challenging musical games for cash and prizes. Two players race against the clock to test their knowledge of songs performed by a live band with Randy Jackson as band leader. Each contest features a rotating variety of games from the original format, before the iconic bid-a-note round. The player with the most money at the end of bid-a-note wins the game and takes his or her bank into the golden medley bonus round for a chance to win additional cash, and potentially, the $100,000 grand prize.

TV Programming Fees
A New Way To Empty Bank Accounts
In Theaters and on HBO Max
The price that a consumer pays each month for a TV video package is driven largely by the fees that video service providers like MTCO digiMAX are required to pay to retransmit the programs from companies that create or package the programming (the broadcast TV stations and cable networks). Video service providers pay a set fee for every household that receives a given channel, regardless of whether anyone in that household watches the channel.
Specifically, sports channels and local broadcast TV stations have been demanding significant fees to carry their programming. Since 2011, local channels have increased by 870% and sports networks have increased by 284%.
MTCO’s goal is to protect customers from significant network fee increases, but that has become more difficult when broadcasters demand an increase that’s two, three, and even 100 times more what they’ve ever received before. As your local hometown TV provider, we are on your side and work in negotiations to fight against outrageous fee increases.

Researchers at IBM discovered a new type of massive banking fraud campaign that raked in millions of dollars.
The attackers gained access to victims’ online bank accounts, either through phishing attacks or malware, then used mobile emulators to impersonate the victims’ phones. Mobile emulators are virtualization software that can imitate a real phone. The criminals use this to avoid triggering alerts when they transferred money out of victims’ accounts.
To better protect your mobile devices:
• Ensure all system updates and app
updates take place on time.
• Delete apps no longer in use.
• Obtain apps from official app stores,
ensure apps being downloaded are from
a legitimate source.
• Check bank statements regularly for
suspicious activity.
• Beware of unsolicited SMS messages.
Banks do not inform you of account
issues via SMS.
Lastly, take time to update/strengthen passwords across all devices and accounts.
