TV Barn Ticker for today ...
Here's a quick summary of all the news and comment from the world of TV and media that I published or read today, dispensed in bite-sized nuggets:
- KCTV's 4 p.m. news within striking distance of OPRAH - lead-ins still matter - and other March ratings news - tr.im/iItn
- Lou! Stop watching BASEBALL TONIGHT - I'm happier and you will be, too - tr.im/iIJU
- Wonderful! Trudeau - as @Roland_Hedley - proves it's possible to mock Twitter without sounding churlish - tiny.cc/LvsMr
- Kinda don't have the heart to tell @carr2n about TweetDeck and the art of selective FB cross-posting; he seems so happy to break the tether
- Randy Miller subbing AGAIN on WGN Radio - hmmmm, this does smell like a tryout - tr.im/iIT2
- Sorry @m_dunn but I despised HARPER'S ISLAND, aka THE HALLMARK HALL OF FAME OF DECAPITATIONS - see tr.im/iIUY
- What's working for me this week: GREY GARDENS, Irena Sendler, KCTV. What's not: Oprah, Katie, NBC. tr.im/iJhD
- Showtime takes poison pill on Tim Robbins anti-Big Pharma show - icanhaz.com/sidefex
- What's faster than a Somali speedboat? Cable channels racing to sign reality TV deals with pirate fighters - tr.im/iJjV
- Psst, MSNBC! About that new Chuck Todd interview show - put it on against Howie Kurtz! Thank me later! tr.im/iJkl
- Yeah, like Neal Jones was what was dragging down 610 Sports - tr.im/iJmb
- Gee, to think it only took a week to realize how awful it was to refer to John Denver's soundalike as a "dead ringer" - tr.im/isb0
- Boston station that woulda lost its NBC faster than David Warner lost his head in THE OMEN will air Leno at 10 after all - tr.im/iKW8
- As a publisher who relies on Amazon, this gayban "debacle" seemed absurd, so I decided to watch and wait. And wah-la: tr.im/iKYn
- RIP Harry Kalas, "deepest voice you've ever heard" - tr.im/iKZu
- I didn't know Amazon had a blog but @mediatwit is right: That's where it should've gone WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM or something
- Pardon me while I cover @HitFixDaniel's mouth securely so he doesn't reveal any 24 secrets to DVR nation/the west coast
- Every time I hear John Lee Hooker's "Let's Go Out Tonight," it pretty much makes me want to stay in, if you know what I mean
