Battered and bruised, local outlets launch more of their own shows to get back in the fight
With stations suffering from slashed revenues and similarly slimmer resources, it's a difficult time to launch a local program—which, paradoxically, might make it the perfect time to start swinging. Broadcast executives say this could be the right opportunity to grab share from a downsizing competitor, knock the escalating prices of syndicated programming down a peg, or simply boost the station's market presence amidst an increasingly crowded media landscape.
THE LAIR's Gay Vampires Return for Season 3

CONTEST: SOS - Save our soaps!
The News & Observer is looking for ideas on how to save soaps. "We'll rustle up some prizes from the swag pile for the best responses and publish your ideas in a special 'Adios, GL!' package Sept. 14."
The comparison between ONE LIFE TO LIVE and that rubbish called THE LAIR fails on all levels. It's an insult to OLTL to even be mentioned in the same sentence as that other show.
ReplyDeleteJust want to make a correction - I may have shared the link to the Paley Center video, but it's not in any way my footage. I wasn't even at the event. I know who shot the footage, but I'm not sure she want her name mentioned, so I'll refrain from that.
ReplyDeleteNice of people to share their photos and stories from this event with those of us who couldn't be there - thanks!
