Turner to Ax 550 staffers

Martin is looking at a big jump in costs to renew TNT’s contract to air basketball games on TNT and TBS, with the league said to be seeking to double its fees.

Turner is seeking to renew the last major US sports deal up for grabs until 2021. Live sporting events like the NBA are critical to boosting the fees cable providers pay to carry the networks.

Meanwhile, TBS and TNT — which adopted the new tagline “TNT Drama. Boom” in the spring — have been struggling for a fresh crop of hits.

Martin, along with Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes, have promised to add more original programs in a bid to lift cable sales, which are lagging rivals

Why don't they tell the league to get bent for a season?

it may get to that. The cost of sports programming continues to skyrocket. Subscribers have had enough.

Bottom line is CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS are all Left leaning outlets. Those who watch TV have grown up and are now understanding they have been fed a bill of LIB biased goods.
The result is the LIB leaning outlets are going down the crapper.
A perfect example is what MSNBC airs on the weekends: Fucking 'jail' shows all the time. But why? B/c MSNBC's viewer base are predominantly Blacks.
Blacks can tune in and watch any number of their sons/fathers/brothers/cousins/uncles/former neighbors waddling around the exercise yards in prisons all over the country.
Black's don't attract any sponsor money to MSNBC except fast food outlets/payday loans/'adult' chat or diabetes medicine companies.....and Viagra.

I don't watch sports. I don't watch tv personalities with their pretense of authority. I don't watch sports either. It just seems to me that sports programming has become nothing more than a total rip off.

Actually, liberals don't need something 'splained. Not many people have ever watched it. It's a faux media war that most people don't give a hoot about to begin with. Jail shows are another aspect of reality shows and reality shows have sucked since they came out due to a writers strike some 10-15 years ago.

ABC/NBC and CBS are not exactly liberal.

We keep asking for world news and they keep giving us crap. There is a reason for that.
 
Apparently MSNBC executives have decided that putting on shows which show predominantly Blacks in various forms of incarceration will appeal to Blacks. Blacks based on per capita of viewer demographics watch MSNBC by an overwhelming margin. Just as Blacks vote LIB overwhelmingly. Go figure.

And ION shows nothing but law and order type shows that send the propaganda of no matter what you do that is wrong you will be caught. And religious programming that sends the same message.

Media conglomerates are all about the money. They are interested in you seeing what they want you to see and knowing what they want you to know. That's it.
