how much will Obama TV time cost networks? - 歐美

Obama可能不只影響到下星期一而已...ORZ

可能下下星期一與下下下星期二也有....ORZ

President Obama's desire to talk -- and talk, and talk -- to the American
public could cost broadcast networks millions, and millions, and millions
of prime-time TV dollars.

Obama想要對大眾演講的慾望可能會造成電視台幾百萬的損失 (@_@)

Broadcasters are bracing themselves for the likelihood of three prime-time
interruptions in three weeks, totaling at least three hours of prime time
-- and ad breaks -- yanked.

可能有三個星期的三個prime time會受到影響 (Q_Q)

"His economic stimulus package apparently does not extend to the TV
networks," one network exec noted.

"他的經濟振興計畫顯然沒有包括電視產業" (大笑)

Obama's also mulling a shorter prime-time appearance Feb. 16 tied to the
economic stimulus package. And White House officials have said that on Feb. 24
, Obama will address a joint session of Congress to give the equivalent of
a two-hour State of the Union speech.

Feb.16與Feb.24這傢伙都想要佔用我們看TV-series的時間 (天阿...我的House...)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

來看看Obama在下星期一造成的＄損失：

FOX
"House." Price tag: about $3 million.

CBS
would have to yank two of its successful sitcoms, "Big Bang Theory" and
"How I Met Your Mother," though the network would probably swap its
expected-to-be-low-rated "Worst Week" at 9:30 p.m. for the "Big Bang" episode.
Final price tag: about $2 mil.

ABC
would probably start "The Bachelor" at 9 instead of 8, and scrub its 10 p.m.
reality series "True Beauty."
Price tag: $1.5 million-ish.

NBC might chose to preempt "Chuck."
Price tag: $1.5 million to $2 million.

電視台反應

"They're . . . preempting our better shows. You're not happy to lose a 'House'
if you are Fox, or two of the better comedies at CBS, or 'The Bachelor'
at ABC -- we're all going to take a bath."

但是

"you don't want to incur the wrath of the White House" because "if you're on
the [poop] list, you are last in line for interviews and things like that,"
one network exec explained.

重點

"Do people really want to come home after looking for a job, or after being
at a job they hate, sit down to veg out in front of their favorite show --
and he's on again?"


唉....
