11/14/06
Good morning. It’s Tuesday, November 14, 2006, and this is your first early morning briefing.
NBC has given a full season order to Friday Night Lights, starring Kyle Chandler. Thus far this season the show has averaged a 2.7/7 among A18-49 and 6.7 million viewers overall. There is also some speculation the show will be moved from its current berth of Tuesdays at 8p to an alternative time period and away from the 1st qtr 2007 return of American Idol. NBC has said previously it would soon announce its full 1st qtr schedule. Friday Night Lights is a production of Imagine Television, NBC Universal Television Studio and Film 44.

FremantleMedia N.A. have shifted the distribution rights of Family Feud from Tribune Entertainment Co., over to Debmar-Mercury, in a multi-year deal, effective immediately.

RE: Internships
As a professor I appreciate all the companies offering internships for students, but I would love to convince you to pay something, anything, to have these young people work for you. Yes they learn while working, but isn’t that true of your new employees, too? Don’t you offer them a salary? Even if you can’t manage minimum wage, just a small stipend for housing or meals would be welcome.
Let me suggest to you that it is not just for the students, but that it is in your own best interest to do this. I have had hundreds of students over the years looking for internships. One of the determining factors is whether a student can afford it. Surely a student will not pass up an “ideal” internship if it is unpaid, but if there are two offered, and one is paid, which is likely to attract more candidates? Companies offering paid internships can choose from a much larger pool. I might even suggest that some of our more qualified students end up in other areas that provide paid internships. And before you tell me they must not have been motivated enough to begin with, keep in mind that some of these students graduate college with tens of thousands of dollars of debt. Most students will have to give up part-time jobs to take an internship, only increasing their debt.
There’s much more I could say but I’ll stop here. Please give some thought to this. Thanks.
