FOX: No Room for Barack Obama on Schedule
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Specials, FOX, Gossip,
Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, is scheduled to address the nation on Wednesday. But don’t worry, FOX isn’t going to go changing their programming just on his account. If you’d rather watch Tim Roth, you can still catch Lie to Me in its regular time slot.
It’s a bold move, and it might be a bad one. Obama’s Wednesday news conference will celebrate his first one hundred days as President. It’s the third press conference he’s held while in office, and it will be aired by ABC, CBS and NBC, along with several cable networks.

Barack Obama: The Accessible President
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Videos,
If you didn’t catch him giving out his March Madness picks on ESPN, trading quips on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno or looking appropriately grave during his in-depth 60 Minutes interview, you might have been among the thirty million who watched Barack Obama’s second press conference.
During the first sixty-odd days of his reign as President of the United States, Obama has been on almost every television channel at least once. You could build a respectable video library with clips of his appearances found on YouTube alone.
We now know that this national leader thinks riding on Air Force One is “cool,” enjoys a game of basketball whenever he can get a chance and hopes to soon take on the health care problems of the country. We know who he’s rooting for in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, that he’s not a great bowler and that he pretty much has his hands full dealing with the AIG bonuses (and their repercussions).

Obama Scheduled for Leno, Third Press Conference
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Specials, News,
In the next week, President Barack Obama will be addressing the television public on two different stages.
This Thursday night, Obama will hitting up The Tonight Show during a trip to Los Angeles. Although it’s not unusual to see presidential candidates on late-night fare, his visit will mark the first time a sitting POTUS has made such an appearance.
The chat with Jay Leno will be followed up by a more formal affair next Tuesday (Feb. 24). That is when President Obama is scheduled to hold another primetime event. There’s been no word yet as to how this hour-long presser (starting at 8:00 PM EST) will affect the schedules for American Idol or Dancing with the Stars.

Monday Ratings: Obama Rules Over Primetime
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Heroes, Medium, Ratings,
As depressing as economy talk might be, President Obama had people listening. Last night’s news conference raked in approximately 49.5 million over eight networks. While it was clearly the biggest event of the evening, the presidential presser paled in comparison to Bill Clinton’s first newser in February 1993. (That primetime event drew in 64.3 million.) Although its news coverage came in second, CBS ended up winning the night in both categories.
8pm
- ABC‘s coverage of the Obama presser (3.1/8 in 18-49) pulled in 11.49 million.
- Approximately 9.78 million watched the conference on CBS (3.0/8).
- NBC had 9.75 million (3.1/8) listening about the economy.
- FOX attracted 5.9 million (2.2/6) for the newser.
- Gossip Girl* (1.7 million, 0.8/2) was down 600,000.

President Barack Obama Calls for Support
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Specials, ABC, Cable, CBS, FOX, NBC, Video,
Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, held a press conference Monday night. He led the evening with a speech and he primarily wanted to talk about his stimulus package, which is his answer to the current economic crisis. The commander in chief called for support from the Senate and House, who are currently divided on the package. He addressed criticism for the package and openly talked of his plans. But President Obama seemed ill-prepared to talk about anything else.
The President neatly changed topics when asked about a comment made by Vice President Joe Biden and remained somewhat cagey when asked about his foreign policy regarding Iran. He stayed on topic and on point when it came to the country’s current economic crisis, which seems to be his current focus.

New York Governor Allegedly Involved in Prostitution Ring
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Legal Issues, Breaking News,
UPDATE: Spitzer will not face any criminal charges. There was no evidence that Spitzer had misused public or campaign money to pay for the women.
Thanks to a report in today’s New York Times, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was forced to speak during a press conference about his supposed ties to a prostitution ring.
With his wife by his side, the former Attorney General addressed the media without referencing the allegations directly. (According to the story, the governor is under investigation for meeting up with a prostitute in a Washington D.C hotel room.) In his statement (he did not take any questions), Spitzer said:
“I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family. That violates my, or any, sense of right and wrong. I apologize first, and most importantly, to my family. I apologize to the public whom I promised better.”
(You can listen to the presser here.)
Although Spitzer reportedly told his senior staff members about the investigation, he did not make it clear for the reporters what this means for his current time in office.

Golden Globes Covered on Multiple Channels
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Prime Time, Cable, NBC, Announcements,
A pissing match between NBC and Dick Clark Productions will allow tomorrow’s announcement of the Golden Globe winners to air simultaneously on multiple channels. The one-hour awards presser - which was once an NBC exclusive - can now be seen elsewhere, just like the recently overhyped Patriots game. (That’s what the Peacock network gets for refusing to pay the requested licensing fees.)
TV Guide and E! are the only two channels to (so far) announce full coverage of the free-for-all event. No matter what your station preference is, be sure to be tuned in by 9:00 ET.

E3 2007: Super Smash Bros. Brawl Still Not Confirmed To Have Online
1UP is reporting on the omission of any mention of online gameplay when the subject of Smash Bros. Brawl came up at Nintendo’s press conference earlier this week. Of course, online is a feature that’s probably probably the number one item on every gamer’s wish list when it comes to Super Smash Bros. So it really raises an eyebrow when Nintendo discusses its dedication to online gaming but fails to mention anything about Brawl being online.
It’s suggested in the 1UP story that Nintendo may simply want gamers to focus on the concept of Mario Kart Wii’s online play. And, of course, there is the Tokyo Game Show where Nintendo could make the announcement. Given that this press conference seemed heavily focused on Nintendo’s mentality of expanding the market with casual games, an announcement of Smash Bros. Brawl being online would have drastically diverted attention from that focus.
We’ll keep you up to date on this situation; in the meantime, let’s keep our fingers crossed and all hope that Nintendo knows what it’s doing.
