Entertainment industry economics
Book by Harold L. Vogel
Older but very good.
you also need very solid grip of m&a (everyone buys and sells divisions) and accounting (content accounting is its own world)
There’s a lot, so try and create some maps (who owns what - brands, channels, tv shows, movies, general IP) will make things a bit easier.
