Tim Minchin is revisiting his musical past with the release of 'Time Machine,' an album filled with songs written during his twenties. These songs, left unrecorded until now, mark another milestone in Minchin's diverse career, which includes success in comedy and musical theater.

In a significant move, EU antitrust regulators have extended the deadline for Universal Music Group's $775-million bid for Downtown Music. Originally set for November 26, the decision will now arrive by December 10 amid increased scrutiny and Universal's request for more time.

Reiterating their strategic focus, Warner Bros Discovery announced the creation of Warner Bros and Discovery Global, following a significant restructuring in response to dramatic shifts in the entertainment landscape.
