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.

Twentieth TV hits 'Mother' lode

I posted one more article because I love the show How I Met Your Mother. It surprised me to know that there is such a huge bidding war going on over the syndication of the show, giving that it gets decent, but not great ratings. This article supposed that because it has drawn more and more of the 18-49 demographic, people are wild about it. It also may be the next sitcom to run through syndication for awhile, so everyone is drooling over it.

If they're episodic, a viewer can sit down and enjoy the show casually whenever it's on, and if it gets that elusive and unreliable 18-49 crowd, Bid BID BID! Those are the ones with cash to waste on advertised products!; September 15, 2008 at 6:24 PM
