Lives From New York, It’s 940+ Saturday Nights
Like so many of you who apparently weren’t Jonesing to the celebration of whim and oligarchy that took place in frigid Washington, D.C. yesterday, a distraction was more needed than usual. Fortunately some astute folks at Peacock apparently foresaw that, or simply wanted to take advantage of a winter holiday weekend to showcase their latest

Hail To The Friggin’ Chief

Substance Over Spin?
Seems that no matter how much or how little they may be pursuing it, the kind folks at Comcast can’t keep their media properties out of the news cycle. Just this week alone two of the problem children that were recently lumped into their stock play pursuit know for the time being as SpinCo have

One’s struggling with ratings among old men in general as well as credibility, one with challenges to their credibility and a couple of lawsuits from one particularly thin-skinned old man. While you may not remember Mighty Mouse, I’m pretty sure they do. Maybe you saw his most recent
