F5 acquires Fletch, a San Francisco cybersecurity startup that helps companies flag threats
Seattle-based application delivery and security giant F5 has acquired Fletch, a San Francisco startup founded in 2020 that uses AI to help companies spot threats and reduce alert fatigue. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. F5 will integrate Fletch's 'agentic AI capabilities' into its platform, according to a blog post. 'This is a big leap forward for intelligent, AI-native security,' said Kunal Anand, F5 chief innovation officer. Fletch raised $12.5 million two years ago in a Series A round led by True Ventures. Fletch CEO Grant Wernick co-founded the company with Jacob Perkins, who departed in 2023. They previously started Insight Engines and Weotta. 'By leveraging AI and years of natural language processing know-how, we help organizations translate complex data into clear, human-readable tasks, enabling faster and smarter decision-making,' Wernick said in the blog post.

Mike Hosking, Newstalk ZB rule the airwaves as radio industry celebrates weekly jump in listeners
After ZB, MediaWorks music stations fill out the top five - The Breeze, The Rock, More FM, Magic. 'We are so proud to once again have the two biggest breakfast shows in the country with Hosking on ZB and Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley on ZM,' said NZME chief audio officer Jason Winstanley. 'Newstalk ZB has been the country's number one commercial radio station for 17 years – a phenomenal achievement.' The radio industry is celebrating an overall increase in listenership. Total weekly reach increased 2% to 3.5 million listeners. 'What a cracking way to start the year,' said The Radio Bureau chief executive Alistair Jamison. 'The first survey of 2025 shows growth in weekly listeners, growth in daily listeners, growth in time spent listening and growth in average audience. More people listening, more often and for longer has to be great for advertisers.' NZME chief executive Michael Boggs said: 'What we're witnessing in audio audience growth across many global markets is mirrored here in New Zealand. 'When great content reaches listeners on their terms, across any device they choose, it creates a powerful connection which is compelling for advertisers. 'These results are a testament to audio's enduring and evolving relevance in people's lives.' MediaWorks chief executive Wendy Palmer said: 'Three-quarters of NZ continue to listen to commercial radio each week and this is in-part due to the continued growth in accessibility of our content. Device-based listening has grown 7.7% since last year, with over 900,000 Kiwis listening on a device each week.'

‘Cheers' star George Wendt dead at 76
NEW YORK — George Wendt, the actor best known for playing crowd favorite Norm Peterson on 'Cheers,' died Tuesday at age 76. Wendt died in his sleep at his home, his family told TMZ. His cause of death was not immediately reported. 'George was a doting family man, a well-loved friend and confidant to all of those lucky enough to have known him,' Wendt's publicist, Melissa Nathan, told Variety. 'He will be missed forever.' Appearing in all 275 episodes of 'Cheers,' Wendt endeared himself to audiences so much that he earned his own sitcom, 'The George Wendt Show.' He was also nominated for six consecutive Emmys for outstanding supporting actor during the decade-long run of 'Cheers' on NBC. Even off-screen, Wendt leaned into his persona from the beloved show. In a 2006 interview, when asked what people should do if they run into him, he replied: 'If their impulse is to buy me a beer, then by all means, follow that impulse.' Wendt was also known for appearances in the 1985 film 'Fletch,' which also starred Chevy Chase, and in the 1992 movie 'Forever Young,' which was headlined by Mel Gibson.
