“We need to push the envelope,” Moonves said during the Boston College Chief Executives’ Club lunch at the Boston Harbor Hotel. “If we’re not creating some sort of controversy, we’re probably not doing our job right.”
"Moonves spoke more freely about his company's plans to maintain its relationship with Apple Computer Corp.'s iTunes service, even as top competitor NBC pulled its content off the service last month. NBC wanted more control over the price of its shows on iTunes and ultimately made a deal to offer its shows via Amazon.com's Unbox download service. Yesterday, NBC said it will offer free downloads directly from its website, though consumers would not be able to move content to devices like iPods and could not skip commercials."
"For CBS, it's sticking with what works"
** It's about time**
"But after several failed attempts, CBS is once again embracing its core audience when the new season begins on Monday. Its schedule remains largely unchanged from last season and firmly geared to 25-54s."
This group is for the discussion of Nielsen ratings and their impact on the cancellation of various TV shows. No show is safe as long as Nielsen ratings are used by the networks. We will discuss shows that have been or may be cancelled plus news, links, and what we can all do to make our own impact on the networks and Nielsen. We should all be counted!

Why didn't Rob Hawkins use his internet capabilities to tap into satellites to see what was going on throughout the country or world even? The dish he had may not have reached that far, but he had some type of internet capabilities that may have allowed him to tap into a satellite in another country.
One of the most talked-about new series, CBS' "Kid Nation," will not be reviewed by critics before it premieres Wednesday.
The network has opted not to send out screeners for the controversial reality series, in which 40 children spend 40 days in a formerly deserted New Mexico mining town."
Production Manager Torsten Nobst of Paramount Germany announced the people of serienfans.tv last week, that there WILL BE a german Jericho DVD. Yesterday (Wednesday) the Team of Jericho-TV.de had the chance to talk to Torsten Nobst. He told us that it ISNT planned to release a german Jericho DVD. Paramount Germany is going to release the german version of the DVD, only if there are orders from the American Mother company and that didn't happen yet.
So the Jericho-TV.de team made another petition to get us the DVD as soon as possible... We would be really glad if you could help us again and sign the petition.
"Jericho' Fans Flock To Kansas For Convention"
"There may be no real Jericho, Kansas ... but at least for this weekend, Oakley is close enough."
"Q. ABC has signed Lost for another three seasons but what night is it going to be airing? According to the TV commercials, Wednesday's lineup is booked. Same thing goes for Jericho. I am a loyal fan of both shows. — R.A.G., Hollywood
A. Neither ABC nor CBS has locked in a time period for Lost and Jericho, respectively. Don't fret over fully booked lineups. Neither of your favorites is scheduled to return until midseason and there will be cancellations galore within weeks of the start of the official Nielsen season on Sept. 24. ABC has three new series penciled in on Wednesday, the most likely night for Lost's return. History teaches that an all-new night almost never works, because there is no established series to bring traffic to the network. Jericho has only a seven-episode order, so CBS has many options, including using it as a buffer between the two editions of Survivor. I'm not saying this is the plan but it is one of the options."
