Below are the key projects and recent activities defining his leadership in 2026: Project Phoenix: The WBD Acquisition Bid. The most ambitious current project under Collins’ direction is Project Phoenix.

Discovery. Strategy: The project involves an institutional investor proposal designed to integrate legacy entertainment assets into the URBT ecosystem.

Digital Expansion: URBT News 2026 In early 2026, Collins oversaw the rollout of the updated URBT News digital platform and mobile app. Focus: The app emphasizes "conservative diversity" and provides real-time reporting on urban culture, politics, and technology.

Programming Budget: The network is currently executing a $500 million programming initiative for the 2025-2026 season, focused on original films and series that push the boundaries of urban storytelling and technical production.
