Double media alert today

Going to be on at 10 a.m. today (CT) with Walt Bodine and new cohost Gina Kaufmann (yes, it's a Star-Pitch summit meeting!). You can listen live here, or if iTunes isn't your bag, there are more options on the home page.

UPDATE: Nope! Walt Bodine isn't until next Tuesday.

Tonight, I'll be on another hour program, one that doesn't air in the United States, except in those border towns lucky enough to get the Toronto-based TVO. There I will be on with four other TV scribes, including fellow TCA members Marc Berman and Rob Salem, to discuss "Television in the Internet Age" on "The Agenda with Steve Paikin." I'll post a podcast of the audio portion tomorrow; my impression is that the sound is about 99 percent of the program anyway.

But I could be wrong.

And since I didn't have a Walt Bodine link for you to follow, how about this instead. Last week the local cable companies, Time Warner and Comcast, began running a fresh set of "Newsmakers" segments, including three interviews with me. Thanks to some timely cancellations by other guests, host Cynthia Smith invited me to stick around and tape some more. Here's the first of three, where we discuss this decade's Y2K, also known as the DTV transition.

If you're a local viewer, "Newsmakers" airs in a rotation at :55 past the hour on CNN Headline News most hours. Cynthia and co-co-host Jerry Fogel interview local politicians, nonprofit leaders and MSMers like me.
