Media Musings

Blogs promote the exchange of ideas. I've used this blog for several semesters to get students talking about media industry topics. Articles you read, post and comment about should deal with media programming topics, and this is a wide-open arena—programming developments, traditional and new distribution channels, technology developments, job and career matters, regulation (FCC?), program performance--including the new fall television season. I hope you’re beginning to get the picture.

What do you think about this? huh huh???

I kind of stumbled over this and thought, OH REALLY! I really thought and said that by the way. Two mid-season shows were announced for ABC. They were "Skating with the Stars" and "V" is returning. Now when I was reading this particular article majority of my attention was on "Skating with the Stars". It is to premiere, November 22nd at 9pm with a live premiere following a one-hour episode of "Dancing with the Stars". The skating cast will be announced on November 2nd, however we all know it will probably be leaked before then. I happen to like "Dancing with the Stars because I love to dance, little interesting fact about me! However, I love skating to but, part of me wonders how well will this do. I can't even lie, I just might be on the couch with my popcorn eager to watch every week, who knows. Nevertheless, what do you all think about it? Let me into your thoughts oohhhhhh ahhhhhh!

ABC can't afford to give up a successful program franchise and time period with strong audience performance just because the Dancing series has now run its course.

Almost everyone can dance (even poorly)but how many people can skate? Will audience members relate to the celebrity skaters?; October 18, 2010 at 6:32 AM
