Good Morning. It’s Monday, June 19, 2006, and this is your first early morning briefing.
AT&T plans to launch its new service Homezone this July. Homezone is the marriage between Echostar’s DISH satellite TV service and internet based movies and videos. The plan is simple – download a huge assortment of videos and movies from the internet via Movielink at no cost, and watch them on the television set, in addition to DISH programming. According to the Wall Street Journal, by year’s end the service should be available in approximately 80% of the markets where AT&T currently offers high-speed internet service.
In addition to Katie Couric, CBS News has hired NBC Producer Bob Peterson as Creative Director. His mission will be to redesign the CBS Evening News in preparation of Couric’s arrival in September. Peterson worked closely with Couric for years on Today, Dateline and various primetime specials with Couric.
While news is scurrying around that Dan Rather will soon be leaving his post at CBS News, there is new news this morning that he may have already found a place to go next – Mark Cuban’s HDNet. Cuban allowed to the Hollywood Reporter that Rather and he are talking about the newsman anchoring a one hour weekly on the premium channel.
Joining the cast of Prison Break next season will be William Fichtner, who will play a federal agent in pursuit of the prison escapees.
Elsewhere at Fox the network had added to its cast of Vanished with the signing of Penelope Ann Miller. As you’ve no doubt seen in the promos for this series, the Senator’s wife mysteriously disappears or perhaps is kidnapped. The more they look into the wife’s life, the more questions come up. Playing the role of the Senator’s ex-wife will be Miller. Initially Miller is signed on for six episodes.
TNT‘s upcoming limited series The Company has one of its star players – Chris O’Donnell. The Company, played out in six one-hour episodes, chronicles the days of the CIA during the Cold War. The series is looking at a summer 2007 launch.
If you are an age where Full House played a big part of your childhood years, then know that Jodie Sweetin, one of the Full House kids, will return to television on July 18, appearing on Fuse Music Television as the host of Pants-Off Dance-Off reality series.
Lisa Padron has returned to CBS Radio Sales as VP in the company’s Los Angeles headquarters. Earlier this year, she left the company to take a position with Sirius Satellite Radio.
Lisa Guerrero has joined the team at Inside Edition as a West Coast Correspondent based in Los Angeles. During her 14-year career she has covered many events such as the Academy Awards, Super Bowl and has hosted the Tournament of Roses Parade for ABC, yet she is best known for her time as a sideline reporter for ABC’s Monday Night Football in 2003.
Keri Burke has been upped to Director/Affiliate Relations for Inside Edition, where she will report to Betsy Siciliano, VP/Creative Services at King World in the newsmagazine’s New York office.
