The upcoming Olympics are bringing out the competitive streak in NBC. Though the network will make more than 2,200 hours of live competition available online, according to the AP, events scheduled to be on TV won’t be shown on the web until after they’ve been televised. Translation: Hope you enjoy synchronized swimming, because track and field won’t be live. But while my initial gut reaction was that NBC really blew this one, upon closer inspection ...

Advertisers aim for the 18-24, or 25-34, or 35-49 segment. SAI is right that no one really ever aims for the 50 and over crowd. That can’t be good news to networks.

And that means Chris Noth is out.

NBC on Tuesday settled a $105 million lawsuit brought by a woman whose brother committed suicide amid a raid involving the series To Catch A Predator. The man, an assistant county prosecutor, had engaged in a sex chat with someone posing as a 13-year-old boy on behalf of Predator, and an NBC crew accompanied police as they raided the man's home, where he shot himself. Probably as part of settlement, NBC scrubbed nearly all mention ...

When Meet The Press host Tim Russert died, NBC held the news so it could inform Russert's family first. An employee at Internet Broadcasting Services, which provides web services for some of NBC affiliates, went ahead and updated Russert's Wikipedia page anyway.

Jack says of the firing: It was fine for NBC to hold the information until the family was notified, but it’s ludicrous to be flabbergasted by being beaten on news you were holding. And it’s plain dumb to fire someone for getting it first and right. I ...
