Good morning. It’s Wednesday, November 22, 2006, and this is your first early morning briefing.
While several thousand people gathered yesterday at NYC’s Riverside Church to remember and celebrate the life and work of 60 Minutes correspondent Ed Bradley, the media industry was dealt another blow with the news John M. Higgins, journalist and Business Editor for Broadcasting & Cable Magazine, passed away Monday evening from a heart attack at the age of 45. Throughout the industry, John was well respected for his tough reporting skills and his keen knowledge of the business. He first joined B&C in 1997 after working at Multichannel News. FCC Chairman Richard Wiley: [email protected]. Funeral and eulogy arrangements will be announced shortly and posted to B&C‘s website.

Comcast Corporation and The Walt Disney Company have entered into a long-term distribution agreement spanning the next ten years which will affect the 10 ABC owned television stations and many of the Disney-owned networks and services including Disney Channel, ABC Family, Toon Disney, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Classic, ESPNEWS, ESPN HD as well as carriage upgrades for SOAPnet. Some highlights of the agreement include:
- Comcast will also launch ESPN Deportes, a stand-alone Spanish language sports network. Both companies have also formalized their ESPN HD agreement.
- Comcast has purchased The Walt Disney Company’s 39.5% ownership holding in E! Networks for $1.23 billion. This transaction, which includes E! Entertainment and Style Network, makes Comcast the sole owner of E! Networks.
- Furthermore, as mentioned yesterday, beginning next fall Comcast will offer certain ABC Network primetime and ABC News programs via VOD free to Comcast’s digital customers in several markets with ABC-owned stations: WABC/New York, WPVI/Philadelphia, WLS/Chicago, KGO/San Francisco, KTRK/Houston, KFSN/Fresno and WJRT/Flint. Comcast also will add some shows from Disney Channel, SOAPnet, Toon Disney and ESPN to its ON DEMAND line-up in markets where those channels are available.
- Beginning next year, Comcast Digital Cable consumers will have the opportunity to order new movies released on VOD from Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone and Miramax for $3.99 each, and some archived titles will be available for $2.99 each. A few of the new titles include Pirates of the Caribbean 2, The Santa Clause 3, Invincible and The Guardian.

- Silent Witness – premieres season nine February 19 at 9p, the team of pathologists take on a new set of dubious deaths. Four two-hour episodes from BBC and distributed by BBC Worldwide Americas.
- Spoons – premieres February 23 at 11p, debuting in the network’s late night comedy block The Underground, this sketch comedy series is about a group of twenty-somethings and their on and off relationships. Six half-hour episodes produced by Zeppotron and distributed by Endemol U.K.
Discovery Channel will premiere the third season of Dirty Jobs on November 28 at 9p. Host Mike Rowe gets down and dirty during this new season exploring occupations from lobster fishing in Maine to cleaning animal cages at a zoo in New Orleans. The series is produced by Pilgrim Film & Television.
Filmmaker Robert Altman, 81, died Monday night at a Los Angeles hospital due to unknown causes. Altman was considered an irreverent satirist who defied the Hollywood establishment to make such memorable films as M*A*S*H, Nashville and The Player. Nominated five times for the best director Academy Award, he finally won a lifetime achievement Oscar in 2006. Altman was also a director on the television series Combat. He once did an entire episode without a single line of dialogue, against the specific direction of his superiors who believed a TV show without dialogue was a really bad idea. The irreverent Altman waited until his bosses were out of town, and quickly turned the show out. They in turn, turned him out.
Here’s just a little bit of holiday fun from today’s edition of Cynopsis Kids:
Forbes magazine has released its annual list of the 15 richest fictional characters. Ho Ho Hold onto your sleigh bells ’cause Santa has been all but dropped off the list for the first time in 15 years. Why? Well, Forbes cites letters from “outraged children insisting that Claus is ‘real,’ ” along with the whole cookies and milk conspiracy, as the reasoning for taking the big guy off the list of fiction characters. That said, Forbes does note that though the ongoing debate about Claus’ existence is by no means settled they just decided to … well, in my opinion the folks at Forbes are just playing it safe to stay on Claus’ “nice list”, you know, just in case. Without further shenanigans – the Forbes Fiction 15 list of the richest characters goes a little like this, name (age); net worth; affiliation:
- Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks (52); $36.2 billion; Annie comics
- Charles Montgomery Burns (104); $16.8 billion; The Simpsons
- Scrooge McDuck (80); $10.9 billion; Disney
- Richie Rich (10); $10.7 billion; Richie Rich Comic books
- Jed Clampett (51); $7.7 billion; The Beverly Hillbilly’s
- Mr. Monopoly* (71); $7.1 billion; Monopoly board game
- Bruce Wayne (32); $6.8 billion; Batman
- Anthony Stark*, aka Iron Man (35); $3.0 billion; Iron Man comics
- Prince Abakaliki of Nigeria* (37); $2.8 billion; You’ve likely received an email from him
- Thurston Howell, III (60); $2.7 billion; Gilligan’s Island
- Willy Wonka (57); $2 billion; Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
- Lucius Malfoy (51); $1.3 billion; Harry Potter
- Tony Montana* (42); $1 billion; Scarface
- Lara Croft (37); $1 billion; Video game star
- Mario* (23); $1 billion; Super Mario
*New to the list this year
Forbes estimated the net worth based on, “when possible, on known commodity and share price movements.” The calculations are based on prices as of market close, November 17, 2007, and some salt.

EMAILS TO THE EDITOR: re: INTERNSHIPS Good Morning,
I have been reading the accounts of internships with interest and felt that I wanted to add to it.The summer before my senior year in college, I took an unpaid internship with a small media company in New York. I was excited to learn that as a small company, I would be able to do more as an intern than I might do with a larger company. I was partly right. I did do a lot, though none of which was relevant to my current career except stating on my resume that I, in fact, did complete an internship. The company was so small that they stationed the interns at the phones and assigned us to screen calls. I was sent to deliver tapes to obscure apartments in the city on the supervisor’s Metrocard. The only time I set foot in the studio was to bring props or take them back to the office. I worked there two days a week and at a shoe store the other days of the week. I made no money that summer and I have yet to understand how doing all that busy work helped me acquire any business savvy relevant to my later career. There is no doubt that this company treated the interns as free labor. Although big companies look at interns as free labor, small companies are just as guilty of this.
However, in my previous job, one of the departments always had an intern and the person in charge of the interns taught them Nielsen software and how to prepare sales presentations and gave them job hunt and resume advice. These interns are lucky to have that; they are being given tools that will help them when they graduate and go out in the world. Internships are what you get out of them…maybe it’s time to re-examine a company’s attitude as a whole toward interns and see what can be done for them in return.

I learned that I loved making television, I worked with many good people and say that it will only give you what you put in. I still get jobs to this day from my internship experience…. I realize that I am very lucky to have had this internship but I also put in the effort to reek the benefits.
