Ok, then chew this sunday's Media Nuggets :-)

###### Brett Baier is replacing Carl Cameron as Chief WH Correspondent, while Cameron is moving back as chief political correspondent. Mike Emanuel will replace Baier at the Pentagon. Major Garrett has been promoted to congressional correspondent. Brian Wilson has been named the permanent anchor of Weekend Live.

###### CNN fired Aaron Brown & brought Anderson Cooper with much fanfare touting, he is the future. Well, future seems to be worse than past for CNN. Cooper never got Brown's ratings which was not great either.

###### Tribune Executive Editor Janet Weaver Arrested On Drunken Driving Charge.

###### News Corp.-controlled DirecTV Launches Channel for Babies -> BabyFirstTV, the first 24-hour channel for babies, with programming to "foster baby-parent interaction."

###### News Corp. profit doubles, -> led by broadcast, cable.

###### Houston Chronicle, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, New York Daily News, Newsday, Boston Globe & a dozen other newspapers have all one thing in common. Their circulation is significantly down.

###### James Dobson's "Focus on the Family" show is popular in XM Satellite Radio. Now, Sirius wants to catch up & launching Catholic Radio Channel.

###### Good Riddance -> Ted Turner to Exit Media Industry when he steps off the board of Time Warner on May 19.

###### MSM talks all the time about CEO's big pay takes. When it comes to them they refuse to walk-the-walk. Knight Ridder CEO gets $9.4 Million Severance.

###### TimeWarner has aquired full control of Court-TV and is planning to put Catherine Crier against Fox's Greta Van Susteran sometime soon.

I wish they would do something with Wendall Goeler. He drives me nuts with his hem-hawing around. The guy can't speak a sentence without using "Uhhhhhh" every other word.

"Brian Wilson has been named the permanent anchor of Weekend Live."

Great! If we can't have Tony there, I'll take Brian - usually does a good job and has a good sense of humor (and easy on the eyes, too ;-)

Found another for you:

HOWARD Stern says he's been offered a "major deal" to come back to regular radio via satellite radio - just like his longtime enemies Opie & Anthony.

Stern Eyes Free Radio

In all fairness, Anderson Cooper has been a breath of fresh air compared to Aaron Brown. I also read that Ted Turner is buying a Russian TV station. Is that true?

Great stuff anita! As usual your nuggets are yet another highlight of the thread! Interesting how the new media flourishes while the old-drive by media slowly dies a slow uneventful death, running out of ammunition.
