Rumors of More Layoffs at Kansas City Star on the Rise
LOL
here is mythought on another thread

....God only knows what theyll replace him with.....
Perhaps a panel show. Maybe they could develop a panel format to discuss important subjects.
Perhaps they could discuss the political and cultural aspects of Law and Order SVU. On alternate nights just plain ol Law and Order be hashed over for moral and ethical questions raised. Americans are starved for authentic discussion of real issue by real people

The chatter is they will make another run at scripted shows for that time slot. But that’s going to cost money. Money they don’t have. I suspect this piece on Zucker is intended to telegraph to him that he needs to tidy up his resume. Comcast is going to want their guy in when they take over.
I don’t watch NBC at all or for any reason.
I think I’d be happier watching a TV that was off.
Good luck, Zuckey.
Dancing with the Star
NBC is re instituting the Tonight Show but they just wont call it that. Conan’s going back to the Late Show but he keeps the Tonight Show badge. They are a complete mess. NBC screwed up big time by kicking Leno out of the Tonight Show, the only money making machine for NBC. They should thank their lucky stars that Leno didn’t join a rival network.
Why not commission a focus group - a real group of conservatives, not a manufactured audience of rinos. Ask them to watch their news shows for a week and provide feedback - real feedback that will be taken seriously. Don't play games with questionnaires to lead an answer or dilute an opinion. Then, they will have the necessary data to make strategic decisions about their shows and stars. Personally, it's so painful for me to watch NBC, I couldn't tell you which channel it is on our Comcast service or what the shows are. But if I knew NBC was serious, I would consider giving my opinions.
It's simple. What business are they in?
Any relation to David Zucker of Airplane! ?
He’s a conservative, as I recall.
This is just for the Olympics. Like the White House I believe nothing from MSM.
She's getting ready for another televised colonoscopy.
I like the idea of modern day Dumont Network.
