Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 7, 2019 Members Share Posted November 7, 2019 This has been an ongoing case. It seems like I've been reading about this, on and off, for about a year now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 25, 2019 Members Share Posted November 25, 2019 A few years ago, I remember reading about Tim Berners-Lee being interviewed about the many problems with the Internet and turned over several remedies in his mind, one of which was creating a sort of alternate WWW that would fulfill the original purpose, which was to share information and foster communication. It was an interesting interview, if anyone can dig it up, it's worth a read/watch. I guess Berners-Lee was doing more than just brainstorming that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 5, 2019 Members Share Posted December 5, 2019 Since the merger in August, shares of CBS and Viacom have each dropped about 20%. Also, according to the newly merged company's chief executive, Viacom-CBS will be looking to reap half a billion dollars in cost savings- which most people know by what means this will be- through layoffs and job cuts. Of course, there are implications for all divisions of both companies but I don't know what further implications there could be for a division like CBS Daytime, an already stripped down department. https://www.msn.com/en-us/finance/companies/young-sheldon-meet-spongebob-cbs-and-viacom-are-back-together/ar-BBXM7N1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted December 15, 2019 Members Share Posted December 15, 2019 Yeah, no. I won't be going anywhere near the Hallmark channels again. Their homophobia is officially out in the open, and I ain't havin' it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 16, 2019 Members Share Posted December 16, 2019 I'm amazed at how badly Hallmark fucked this up. They're lucky because most of their audience doesn't pay attention to these stories, but they have still alienated a lot of homophobes and a lot of queer people and allies through sheer bumbling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted December 16, 2019 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2019 I’m sure if they had left well enough alone with that ad, they’d have had some conservative rumbling, but it would have been a tempest in a teapot. Now they’ve enraged both sides and drawn negative attention to themselves. Like you say, they’re lucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 21, 2019 Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 Fascinating article. So far, ads geared to streaming still don't have the same market value as those on aired broadcast television, which is likely why there has been such a slow embrace of streaming by many production companies but high-tech digital product placement could change that calculus. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/you-see-pepsi-i-see-coke-new-tricks-for-product-placement/ar-BBYceC2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 26, 2019 Members Share Posted December 26, 2019 Todd finally felt that fire under his feet and decided to come up with this bullsh*t narrative about naivete. Again, as I always ask, why is he even in that job? It's obvious that he's incompetent. And the big dumb jerk attributed a Maya Angelou quote to Toni Morrison. NBC looks even dumber for hiring him in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted December 27, 2019 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2019 Ratings for all TV networks this year, ranked with percentage increases or decreases vs 2018. I’m surprised Variety didn’t list TLC among its winners with its big YOY gains. https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/network-ratings-top-channels-fox-news-espn-cnn-cbs-nbc-abc-1203440870/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 27, 2019 Members Share Posted December 27, 2019 Too many in the media (and elsewhere) believed the 2016 election was just "politics as usual." Those people have had to learn the hard way (and perhaps, learn it too late) that nothing is "as usual" anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
