Smells Like Desperation

MSNBC is promoting Brian William’s nightly newsfest — with a spot on Fox News Channel.

Ouch.

Back when Johnny Carson was providing 20% of NBC’s meager revenues, I remember seeing ads for the new SuperTrain drama — on independent UHF Channel 30. This was before Cosby, Hill Street, and Cheers saved the Peacock’s feathers.

Does anyone see a Cosby, Ted Danson, or Detective Frank coming in to rescue MSNBC?

He also cohosts "Right Angle" with Bill Whittle and Scott Ott at BillWhittle.com. He lives with his wife and sons in the wooded hills of Monument, Colorado, where he enjoys the occasional adult beverage.
