I feel that FOX should ditch the cartoons on Sunday night and air a drama or sitcoms in my opinion and move the cartoons to a different night as the cartoons are showing their age in my opinion.

I have to disagrree, as Colbert had commentary on Biden during his four years in office. During that time, however, Trump continued to be in the news in his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, including the January 6 insurrection he supported, as well as the two court cases in which he was found guilty and the multiple federal court cases that continued to be delayed successfully behind a partisan Supreme Court and Florida districut judge he appointed (and was often overturned by a higher court). 

The WB network, which I was a part of had a way of working with cable operators that was unique. The WB 100+ group provided local cable operators a fully functional local tv affiliate in markets where there were too few stations to accommodate a 5th network. The technology was innovative and it worked great. Kudos to Jamie Kellner who created it and Russ Meyerson who ran it successfully for many years. 

I forgot this mess was a replacement for the Letterman show. It would be great if they simply brought back repeats of the old Letterman shows. Those were so good and entertaining for many of us. It might have been a little political but not all of it. I still say that no matter how you feel about Trump, why is it entertaining to watch more hate for the entire show. I would think some nice humor would be a welcomed relief but obviously the newworks have all ruined late night TV shows......really too bad.

Mr. Ciccone:

You said "All he's doing is proving why nobody watches him anymore. Who wants to listen to a bitter old man every night before you go to sleep?"

That's exactly how I feel about Trump and the republicans (and their apologists).

He's not being "forced out." His contract is not being renewed because his ratings have decreased significantly and the show loses the network a ton of money and I doubt very much he was hired to rant and b-tch every night about Trump and the republicans.

He doesn't have to show gratitude.  But he could show some class.

All he's doing is proving why nobody watches him anymore.  Who wants to listen to a bitter old man every night before you go to sleep?

Tucker Carlson isn't a journalistst he has always been giving his opinion plus he is BFFs with Putin and should move to Russia since Tucker thinks Putin is a good person when he is a very evil and modern day Hitler.

What Artie said.. 

How about reporting on the quarterly Nielsen Gauge that showcases the Ad Supported only charts? Maybe advertising people would be interested in how things look against HHI $100K+, rather than a chart showing a 2+ audience and Ad Free + Ad Supported combined. 

Residential service has gone up in price and way down in terms of quality of sercice. They offer overnight service but in reality the counter people as well as my experience is that overnight delivery is about impossible to actually get. My postman does not even like to get out of his truck for registered mail that requires signature. The former "new" Post Master General ruined service in the short time he was there -- before he was fired.  What a shame that this service has gone so far downhill.

Whenever I miss the bitter, mirthless rants of Andy Rooney on 60 minutes, I can count on you, Adam, to pull the curmudgeonly cloud tightly around any silver lining.

Colbert owes CBS "gratitude?" Why, because they paid him to do a job? They are not family nor friends. Their relationship is transactional at best ever since Colbert was fired as a clear (to most people) abdication to Trump and his allies.

In that context, calls for "class" and "gratitude" are in themselves comedic. He's being forced out and you want him to say thanks! Most people could hardly blame Colbert for telling CBS, in the words of David Allen Coe, to "take this job and shove it."

Wayne, so long as "outcome" measurements are not standardized and are used, selectively, by various sellers as a sales promo tool, with Nielsen providing the standard "audience" data, most advertisers will  probably get exactly what ever results--"outcomes"-- they would have gotten anyway--without negotiating such deals with sellers. Nothing will change until one or, perhaps, two types of "outcomes" are used by all parties--like it or not. That's the only way to get some benefit from euch information.

But will the sellers allow this to happen? Not likely as now each seller picks whatever makes it look good, but ignores any indicator with possibly negative findings. It's a sales promotional ploy--and I don't blame the sellers for going in this direction. In their shoes, I'd probably be chaning "outcome, "outcomes" too.  

@Geoffrey Precourt: Full disclosure, everything I know about being an ad industry journalist I learned from you.

Agree with you Geoff. Thanks for the nice words about Joe, who got his start in media coverage working for a guy named Geoff Precourt.

No one will ever make another Joe Mandese, who's in a class by himself of all journalists who've ever covered advertising, media, and marketing. As always, he's spot on with his understanding of Bill Duggan's knowledge, service, and commitment. They're both Hall of Famers... if only someone could build a golden ballroom to celebrate their work.

That is true.  But have his views on the covid vaccines changed?  The Trump administration decided to suppress the recent study that found the vaccines to be highly safe and highly effective in keeping people from being hospitalized.

Apparently he does not have the integrity I thought he had. I should have known better since he was a Trump appointee. At least he did the right thing on this particular issue. 

Several years ago, because I had been reading unscientific, inaccurate, and potentially harmful advice by Dr. Makary (who isn't an expert on infectious disease) on covid in various media, I decided to attend a think tank event where he was an invited guest.  He began his presentation by wondering how much Pfizer was paying Dr. Fauci!  As everyone should know, all federal employees above a certain level have to sign and submit conflicts-of-interest disclosure declarations to their agencies' legal offices.  The carelessness and absurdity of Makary's comment led to my belief that this person is unqualified to hold a leadership position in our government -- although I will concede that, given that almost all of Trump's appointees are/were unqualified for the jobs they hold, made Makary a good fit in this administration!  

After acknowledging that we violated our players privacy, we also violated our employees privacy...

"My company has a majority shareholder company in South Korea, Net Marble. The investor is requiring all video and audio chats between HR or management and employees who are affected by a return to office to be recorded and shared with Net Marble. The new CEO they just put in place told us today that there will be a big layoff so the investor can get paid. It seems clear that if any recordings show employees are concerned, those employees will be terminated. Can Simon Sim record our conversations and lay us off if we have concerns? Can conversations taking place in the US be shared with investors in another country without the employee's consent?"

New CEO, but same story. We may never learn.

Congrats to Paul Celement for squeezing some revenue out of Musk in exchange for undertaking a clearly doomed pursuit.

I am glad someone in the Trump administration has some scruples and common sense. Too bad he was pushed out. 

I have seen those protesters pop on Outnumbered which FOX News just use signage on the screen and only can see the top of a building. Was largely Tue when the small protesters would show up to get their social media likes is all.

I'll checkout Baywatch A.K.A. Babewatch in Jan which will debut after an NFL playoff game to get eyeballs on the show. I wonder if The Hoff will show up from time to time.

Dan: I think you meant audacious.
