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:

  • Chicagoans acting like they've nailed down the 2016 Olympics - but they're not happy about it - tr.im/p3ww
  • RT @mediaite: [ABC News chief] David Westin sorta looks like Phil Hartman playing Bill Clinton
  • RT @Ihnatko: I like Conan. But I'm very happy with my current 11:35 PM comedy service provider and not looking to switch
  • btw, this is NOT @Ihnatko Andy: flic.kr/p/6xHsDT
  • Oh Andy ... RT @huffingtonpost: bit.ly/Mh6ZQ - Ayatollah Warns Iranians: "I am Following You All on Twitter"
