hosts every sunday Leslie Goldberg (West Coast Television Publisher) and Daniel Feinberg (Chief TV Critic) Distribute the latest TV news in the context of business and critical parties, greet viewers, executives and other guests, and provide critical guidance on what to watch (or skip).

This week, Dan and I dedicated the entire episode, with the exception of the Critics’ Corner segment, of course, to the recently completed past performances. Historically, the premise was a week of bright, star-studded screenings, during which broadcasters provided their fall and mid-season programming to Madison Avenue ad buyers.

Discovery and NBCUniversal decided to expand their large portfolios primarily with inbound broadcasts. As a follow-up opinion.

At the same time, the CW and Fox opted for a more traditional tone, none of their competitors’ portfolio types, although there was still a lot to scatter from both.

This is how the episode unfolds, although the conversation is, as Jeff Loeb would say, All related. (IYKYK!)
