The Challenge Of Getting Butts Back Into Theatres May Not Quite Be G-Licked
Unless you’ve been hibernating and/or doom-scrolling–both distinct possibilities in my circle–you’re likely aware that we’re now mere days away from the official kickoff to the holiday movie season. Perhaps the most anticipated date will be a week from Friday, when we get two simultaneous theatrical releases of movies with strong history and titular recognition. Universal
The Last Roundup For Yellowstone? And Basic Cable Itself?
For a great deal of people, primarily in the flyover states, their long national nightmare is finally over, and no, it has nothing to do with political choices. After a hiatus of nearly 22 1/2 months, a new episode of YELLOWSTONE will air tonight and if you happen to be a cord-cutter or a cord-never,
What Odds Would FanDuel Give Now On Its Own Survival?
It was less than a month ago that an embattled amalgamation of regional sports networks received its third nomenclature in five years when FanDuel inexplicably aligned itself with the former Bally’s and FOX Sports channels that have stubbornly tried to survive with a lineup of mostly mediocre mid-size market teams. But the events of yesterday
Survive ‘Till ’25? Who’s Gonna Survive IN ’25?!?!

Democracy Didn’t Yet Die In Darkness. But Polling?

I’m far more judgemental of his character and intellect, largely based on actual testimony of people

Well, as someone who has often been put in the uncomfortable position of conveying results of far less
Whether You March, Jog Or Goosestep Your Way To The Polls, JUST VOTE!!!
It’s Election Day 2024 at last, and I’m both mentally and physically exhausted. I typically get this way whenever Daylight Savings Time ends and my typically atypical sleep patterns get even more out of whack. I’m now purposefully setting whatever I might hope to be watching to tape knowing full well the odds of my
There’s At Least One Election Night Comeback I Want To See
You can stop, as my paternal grandfather used to say in a moment of consternation, hocking mein chinik. If you don’t happen to have some familarity in Yiddish, here’s a link for you to get up to speed. I sent in my ballot yesterday, if for no other reason than to potentially take advantage of the
The Beginning Of Nielsen’s End Game?
It may not have been the most significant victory to be achieved this month, but to the embattled leadership of Nielsen it was pretty darn big. As TV TECH’s George Winslow reported on Friday: The Media Rating Council (MRC) has approved the integration of first-party live streaming data into Nielsen’s accredited National Television service. In
