Where to watch the AMAs: Live stream the 2025 American Music Awards
The American Music Awards return to broadcast less than a year after the 50th Anniversary special. We've scoured the internet to find everything you need to know about where to watch the AMAs, including live streaming options for cord-cutters. Jennifer Lopez will host the 51st American Music Awards, which take place at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas. The evening is shaping up to be a star-studded affair. The awards show, one of the biggest events decided solely by fan voting, will feature performances from Gloria Estefan, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Reneé Rapp, Benson Boone, and Lainey Wilson. Boone and Wilson are also nominated for tonight's show. They join a massive nominee list topped by Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Shaboozey. While there's no telling exactly who will make an appearance tonight, Janet Jackson is scheduled to take to the stage to receive the ICON Award. Rod Stewart, who will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award, is slated to deliver a performance. Whether you tune in every year or you're an AMAs newbie, we've got you covered. Keep reading to learn all of the best watch options for tonight's AMAs, including the cheapest way to live stream the event in the US. Follow our WhatsApp channel on mobile for more streaming guides, deals, and reviews What channel are the AMAs on? The AMAs will air on CBS in the US. The awards show will kick off on Monday at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT and will last about two hours. The event is broadcast live coast to coast, which means that West Coasters will be able to tune in at the same time and not have to wait for a tape delay. Where to watch the AMAs in the US There are a few easy ways to live stream the AMAs in the US. The absolute cheapest way is through Paramount Plus, CBS's streaming counterpart. You'll need a Paramount Plus with Showtime subscription to access CBS live streaming. This tier costs $13/month, but new users can get a seven-day free trial. The plan also includes ad-free on-demand content and access to Showtime's full suite of programming. If you're in the market for a more elaborate live TV streaming service, then DirecTV or Fubo might be the way to go. These services offer anywhere from 90 to 200+ live channels, depending on which plan you sign up for, including local channels (CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC) and popular cable networks (ESPN, Bravo, FS1). DirecTV's signature Entertainment plan and Fubo's base Pro plan start at $85/month each (plus a few extra monthly fees), and new users can get five days free at DirecTV and seven days free at Fubo. How to watch the AMAs from anywhere Fans who are traveling outside the US can still keep up with their usual streaming options with the help of a VPN, or virtual private network. VPNs are popular cybersecurity tools that help you change your virtual location. This way, your go-to websites and apps will work from anywhere in the world. Plus, they're instant ways to boost online privacy and security. The services we recommended today require US methods of payment, so this option will work best for Americans who are just abroad at the moment. Time and time again, ExpressVPN is our top recommendation. It's a user-friendly service with elaborate security features and a handy 30-day money-back guarantee. You can explore more in our ExpressVPN review, and keep reading to learn how to use a VPN. How to watch the AMAs with a VPN Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one. Install it on the device you're using to watch. Turn it on and set it to a US location. Sign up for one of the above services if you don't already have an account. Enjoy the show. Who will present at the 2025 AMAs? The AMAs announced some of their presenters on Instagram last week. In addition to the aforementioned Blake Shelton (who is pulling double duty as a performer), fans can expect to see Alix Earle, Cara Delevingne, Ciara, Dan + Shay, Jordan Chiles, Kai Cenat, Megan Moroney, Nikki Glaser, Shaboozey, Tiffany Haddish, and Wayne Brady. Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services.

Where Will AT&T Stock Be in 1 Year?
AT&T's stock price has risen as the company refocused on its core telecom business. The company has maintained a generous payout since slashing the dividend in 2022. Despite a modest valuation, investors will not necessarily consider its P/E ratio as inexpensive. 10 stocks we like better than AT&T › The 2020s did not start well for AT&T (NYSE: T) stock. In the 2010s, the company veered from the wireless-focused business models of its competitors and invested heavily in non-core businesses such as DirecTV satellite TV services and Time Warner entertainment. This was a costly mistake that ended with the company selling these enterprises at a massive loss and slashing its dividend after 35 straight years of increases. However, as it pivoted exclusively into a wireless and fiber focus, investors returned to AT&T, and the stock price has almost doubled since its lows in mid-2023. The question now is whether that growth can continue over the next year. Indeed, AT&T has become a more compelling investment since selling its non-core assets. As one of the three major telcos in the U.S., it maintains a strong position in a critical industry where Verizon Communications and T-Mobile US are its only competitors. Since spinning off non-core businesses, AT&T more closely resembles its competitors. About 70% of its revenue comes from its mobility business in the U.S. Just over one-fourth of its revenue comes from wireline enterprises, with a slight majority of those customers being other businesses. Just over 3% of its revenue comes from its operations in Latin America. Admittedly, the spinoffs did not change the fact that AT&T is a mature business, making it unlikely to interest growth-oriented investors. Still, income investors will like that its $1.11-per-share annual payout has remained stable since the 2022 dividend cut. Even with a rising stock price, the dividend yield is 4%, more than triple the S&P 500 average of 1.3%. Additionally, analysts forecast free cash flow of $16 billion, down from just under $18 billion in 2024. Still, since the dividend costs the company about $8.4 billion, AT&T will likely maintain this dividend and could eventually begin to resume payout hikes. As stated before, AT&T is no longer a growth business. However, its revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was just under $31 billion, a 2.5% yearly increase. Also, since revenue in 2024 fell 0.1%, the performance may have meant a slight recovery. Costs and expenses grew faster than revenue, but thanks to a $1.4 billion increase in the rise of equity from affiliates, net income attributable to AT&T was almost $4.4 billion, a 26% increase. Looking forward, AT&T expects steady growth, with revenue expected to rise by a low-single-digit percentage. It did not offer guidance on its profit increases, though consensus estimates point to an 8% pullback in profits before turning positive by 7% in 2026. Still, such growth did not stop the company from generating over 65% in total returns over the last year. Moreover, despite that increase, AT&T stock trades at a 17 P/E ratio compared to the S&P 500 average earnings multiple of 28. Objectively, that is not a high P/E ratio. Still, with profit struggles, it is unclear whether investors would perceive that multiple as inexpensive. That adds to the uncertainty surrounding AT&T stock in the near term. Over the next year, AT&T stock may struggle to beat the performance of the S&P 500. Admittedly, the gains over the last two years are impressive, and over time, its stock should continue moving higher. It may also be an excellent buy for income-oriented investors, as a refocus on telecom has meant that its free cash flows can easily cover the dividend and, possibly, payout hikes at a later time. However, AT&T remains a mature company that grows its revenue and profits slowly. That means it could struggle to draw growth investors, particularly with its comparatively high P/E ratio. The good news for its current shareholders is that a downturn in the near future is unlikely, making the stock a hold. Nonetheless, unless you're buying for income, it likely does not pay for investors to add shares at this time. Before you buy stock in AT&T, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and AT&T wasn't one of them.

How to watch the Indy 500: Live stream the 109th race online
It's Memorial Day weekend, which means it's time for one of IndyCar racing's top events. We've put together all the details on tuning into this weekend's events, including where to watch the Indy 500 and what time you can expect to see that green flag. Each year, Indianapolis hosts some of the world's top racers for 200 laps around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The 2.5-mile-long track has hosted the event for more than 100 years, and the traditions surrounding the event have become as iconic as the race itself, from the pre-race festivities to the celebratory milk drinking for the winner. 33 racers will take to the track, including Josef Newgarden, the two-time defending champion. No one has ever won the race three years in a row, so Newgarden is chasing history in this year's competition. The race is no longer on NBC, so you might need to adjust your viewing options this year. Fortunately, we've outlined everything you need to know below, including how to live stream the race if you don't have cable. What channel is the Indy 500 on? The Indianapolis 500 will air on FOX in the US. Pre-race coverage will begin on the network at 10 a.m. ET, but official race coverage doesn't kick off until 12:30 p.m. ET. The green flag will drop at 12:45 p.m., and the race typically lasts just under three hours. How to watch the Indy 500 in the US There are several ways to live stream the Indy 500 in the US. FOX's standalone streaming service, FOX One, won't drop until later this year, so you'll need to subscribe to a live TV streaming service to watch the network for now. Some of our favorites include Sling TV, DirecTV, and Fubo. The network has made the race available in 4K, and all three of these options offer FOX 4K. Sling TV is the cheapest of the bunch and the most affordable way to live stream the network at the moment. Subscriptions start at $46/month, but new users can get 50% off their first month of service. Users will need to opt for Sling Blue, which carries 40+ channels. Local channel coverage, like FOX, varies from region to region, so you should double-check your ZIP code before subscribing. The next most affordable way to live stream FOX is through DirecTV's MySports plan. These genre-specific packs carry specific types of channels (in this case, sports) for cheaper than their signature counterparts. MySports subscriptions cost $70/month and include 25 popular sports channels and access to ESPN Plus. New users can get a five-day free trial. Fubo also offers broad FOX live streaming in its base Pro package. Subscriptions start at $85/month for access to 150+ channels. New users can get $20 off their first month of service after a seven-day free trial. How to watch the Indy 500 from anywhere Fans who are traveling away from home can still keep up with their usual viewing methods with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are easy-to-use cybersecurity tools that enable people to change their virtual locations. This way, they can use their usual websites and apps no matter where they are. Since the services we've recommended require US payment methods, this option will work best for Americans who are simply abroad at the moment. One of the best VPNs on the market is ExpressVPN. It's a tried-and-true option that's user-friendly and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The app is top-rated due to its impressive suite of cybersecurity assets, which you can read about in our ExpressVPN review. How to watch the Indy 500 with a VPN Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one. Install it on the device you're using to watch. Turn it on and set it to a US location. Sign up for one of the above streaming services. Enjoy the race! Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
