It’s good news, bad news on the LA Times entertainment blog this morning. First, the NBC schedule for next season was released and Friday Night Lights is coming back for 13 episodes! Woohoo! Being a huge fan of Scrubs, I’m used to the stress of wondering if the show is coming back and only getting [...]
Politico has an interesting article up today doing a post-mortem on the New Hampshire coverage that all but pronounced the Clinton campaign dead after Iowa. It gives three primary reasons why the coverage was so favorable to Obama and so negative to Clinton.
However, in the end the article seems to be more about excuses than changes. [...]
Just when it appears that Sony/BMG is getting the picture, they pull off the single worst idea in the history of the company (ok, maybe not).
Sony/BMG has decided to abandon DRM (the software that keeps you from playing files purchased on iTunes on your Zune) like the other three major record labels have done. However, [...]
One of my favorite pastimes in college was tuning into CNBC (or CNNFN, remember that?) on random days to see what the reasons were that they were giving for the markets move that day. It was usually some intelligent sounding garbage about this or that, but they always had a reason. Of course, they had [...]
I’ve written in the past on how I’ve largely supplemanted commercial/public radio stations with a combination of my iPod and XM. XM is great, but it’s not free and not available everywhere (I’m lucky I can pick up a signal at my desk, but a lot of buildings don’t get a signal). My iPod has limited batteries and is limited to music I already know. Enter a slew of internet startups that want to fill the gap between my iPod and XM.
Senator Herb Kohl (D-WI) has asked the Federal Communications Commission to block the merger of XM and Sirius (see my previous merger coverage here, here, here, here, and here). Senator Kohl may have some sway with the decision because he is the Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights and would have the oversight [...]
It looks like I don’t have to track down the TV Guide blogger. Both “Scrubs” and “Friday Night Lights” were safely on the NBC schedule. However, FNL has been moved to Fridays.
NBC is spinning the move as bowing to customer complaints that the show wasn’t on Friday (was that really a big deal?). At first [...]
I swear if this TVGuide dude is messing with me there will be Hell to pay. Michael Ausiello is reporting that his sources have said that Scrubs will be picked up for a 7th and final season. It will be a shortened 18 ep season, but 18 eps are better than none.
In an earlier post [...]
In the midst of all of the “print is dead” stories that the media harps on about (”look at our jobs disappear!”), Conde Nast has bucked the trend and launched a high-end business magazine called Portfolio. Announced 18 months ago with a launch price tag nearing $100 million, the new magazine aims to be the [...]
