* About Oscar boost: A boost in streaming is not the same as when people actually go watch it in a movie theater after an award show. You are at home and simply tune it in. Going to a movie theater means you actively left your home to experience the Oscar winner on the big screen, in public. That is the movie-going experience. Meanwhile, going on can have an affect on other businesses, too. You may go out for dinner before or after, and head to the bar. At home, nope. Now, after the film runs in a theater, watching it at home is different. That is the process. Was a time when broadcast TV had more movies on.
- Has anyone ever questioned the idea that Disney owns a major broadcast TV network, and has for year? It is ABC, which includes ESPN. That is why "American Idol" does a Disney night. Conflicts of interests. perhaps? And do we have too much Disney in the world?
- Remember, the top-rated cable news show can get 4 million on a good night. That really is not that high. Tucker Carlson has approached 7-8 million recently. That is something to talk about.
- There are too many cooking shows on TV featuring celebs.
- Don Lemon teases that his Friday show would be his last. People jumped on it and say he is leaving CNN. He is not. The show is being renamed. Be careful when a story like this first drops. Give it a little time and actually research a bit on your own first being simply retweeting.
- Broadcast TV has gone from the place to watch the upcoming and established stars in dramas and comedies to a place where amateurs rule. From the talent shows to games where people compete in useless obstacles. News shows feel amateur.- Guests talking at a round-table and debating is not news. It is opinion designed to sound like news.
- Going to a scene like TV news reporters do does not necessarily mean that report is the one to be relied on. TV needs a visual and that provides only that most of the time.
- Experts? Beware of them. And former government workers usually have a ax to grind.
- "The View" and shows like it are NOT news.
- Look out for those speculative articles that feature "could," "may" and "if." Those make great headlines but are rarely followed up on "IF" wrong.
- Celebs announcing things about their personal lives is gossip, not news. They are doing it for PR purposes but always want to be trendy, too.
- Pretty soon, and very soon, the media will have to decide how much "news" Prince Harry and Meghan really are making. If they do too much, they will overexpose them. Media usually goes to far on causes they like and their coverage tends to backfire on them.
- The UFO stories are odd now. People who believed were ridiculed, cursed and their reputations ruined.
- The docudrama is now all the rage in Hollywood. Everybody will be the subject of one soon. Or at least it will feel like it. Start noticing the headlines now. You will see it.
- No, I will not be paying attention to the reunion of "Friends." I was not a fan the first time around.
* House passes a bill and the news media talks about it as if it is now law. And they treat it as law right NOW. However, nope, the Senate is next.
* Since presidents are not allowed to drive, by law, the media should have explained just how he was able to motor along in the electric F-150. To suggest he was driving was dishonest. They can only drive in private places like their own property.
* CNN Chris Cuomo should never be talking issues with his governor brother.
* They are judging streaming shows on minutes watched. Seriously? So, if you watched a show for two minutes and then changed the channel, it counts?
* Turns out the whole lab theory for Covid-19 might be true after all. This news was shot down early and often over the last year? Why the sudden change?
* "This Us Us" was never as popular as it was portrayed.
* May is still Sweeps Month for broadcast TV.
* "Saturday Night Live" just had its lowest rating ever.
* Big AT&T, Discover merger also includes CNN.
* Prince Harry is clueless. He is making himself news. I will not pile on but it is obvious he needs help, and not on TV. He is very angry.
* Too many podcasts.
* Cicadas will be regional. Media seems to live this.
* Weather is never normal.
- To me, Nielsen is over the target of the truth about TV, streaming and the like. That is why they are being attacked by TV studios and networks. We are led to believe that we ALL are going to the streaming services. Many have them but are they really watching all this content? Just because we have a service does not mean we actually watch. There is still not a very reliable way to measure it.
- Try to avoid finding out how a TV show is actually done. It may leave you disappointed and no longer want to watch. Mainly true for a talk show.
- I was wondering if they have to give rebate to Oscar advertisers?
- I look for the term blockbuster to be redefined after this pandemic.
