“It’s time that all of us should work together,” Brightlight Productions president and CEO Albee Benitez stated. “Right now, I don’t think there should be a network war.”

Benitez added that talents should be given flexibility and be allowed to take on work where it is available. He said, “I think that should be our landscape moving forward.”
