Weigel Broadcasting’s WDJT-TV in Milwaukee (also owner of sister station WCIU-TV here in Chicago) announced it was moving next Tuesday’s The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to 12:40am (last item in article), pre-empted for all things, A Billy Graham Special. GM Jim Hall says that the station has received some complaints about Victoria’s Secret in the past. Some people are upset […]
We won’t know the fate of the Tribune Co. this year: Tribune extends its deadline to accept bids for the company through the first quarter of next year.
The chairman of News Corp. pulls the plug on the Fox special and the book after the O.J. Simpson stuff proved too hot to handle. Here is the official press release directly from News Corporation.
Here is the latest: The Chicago Sun-Times has reported in today’s editions that Gannett Co. may be interested in buying Tribune’s newspapers, including the Chicago Tribune. In today’s editions of Crain’s Chicago Business, the business paper asks if Tyra Banks can boost Tribune Co.? According to the article, Tribune’s CW stations in the top three markets (WPIX– New York, KTLA […]
Britney dumps Kevin: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061107/ap_en_mu/spears_divorce I know. I know. This is a media blog, and there should be no room for celebrity fluff. But hey, I’m not to pass up this opportunity to take a few shots…. 1. This marriage is just as over as the Steelers’ season. 2. Now that his meal ticket is gone, K-Fed will go back to […]
http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6388805.html If this does not make you go out and vote Democratic today, then I don’t know what will.
Well, they’re better choices than the idiots that are REALLY running for the office.
Photo credit: Chicago Tribune Interesting article in the Trib today from Ed Sherman about the new flexible scheduling policy that came into place this year with the league new television contracts. This involves the Chicago Bears, and their successful undefeated season thus far. Fox isn’t pleased that the game between the Bears (media market #3) and the 5-2 New York […]
The group that is the ultimate in stupidity (aside from Blackhawks management), the PTC, says that reality TV is better for your kids: http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/publications/release/2006/1031.asp Wait a minute… kids still watch broadcast TV? Apparently, the people at the Prick Tofu Crud didn’t get the memo.

Just wondering… Does the Chicago Tribune really need an Internet critic? Given the fact that the guy writing the column is a complete, utter moron: http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/technology_internetcritic/ Another waste of space in the Tribune’s Tempo section.
Monique Calhoun, who was eliminated on America’s Next Top Model last week, would fit right in working for either Rod Blagojevich’s or Judy Baar Topinka’s gubernatorial campaigns: http://www.tvguide.com/News-Views/Interviews-Features/Article/ default.aspx?posting={716E5AB9-09A1-409E-8DB5-764C2F4411E9} If Monique ran for governor, this loser would probably gather more votes than those other two losers. (P.S. I hope Monique’s a Cub fan…)
In Tuesday’s TV Watch Blog from MediaPost.com , Wayne Friedman briefly talks about ESPN’s recent Monday Night Football game, in which the Jacksonville Jaguars shutout the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers 9-0 — the lowest combined point score ever on MNF — and wonders if that anthology should apply to MyNetworkTV — The Oakland Raiders of network TV — about […]
