[TV orNotTV] So long, Randy Meisner

['Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV]

Co-founder of two seminal rock bands, Poco and the Eagles, between them 
playing with Rick Nelson and his Stone Canyon Band... "Take It To The 
Limit" is timeless, no matter what some of you may think... not many 
on-camera TV performances, April '73 on the Kirshner-owned-but-not-hosted 
"In Concert" and an "Ironside" episode November '68 as a member of "The 
Poor" (OJ Simpson could be spotted in the crowd)... 77.

[TV orNotTV] SemiNoTV: That Jason Aldean Video Got 'er Done

[Mark Jeffries]

The controversial video for "Try That in a Small Town" did what it was 
meant to do, as the single debuted in the BIllboard Hot 100 all the way at 
number 2, only Aldean's second appearance in the top 10 of the big chart 
ever (and his first top 10 since 2011's "Dirt Road Anthem") and number one 
on the country chart (his first number one in seven years).  Before the 
video, the best the single could do was 119 on the "Bubbling Under the Hot 
100" chart.

It seems mostly a victory in streaming and iTunes downloads, as radio seems 
to still be leary about playing it--it is nowhere on any of Billboard's 
airplay charts (that aren't behind paywalls) and on Mediabase's chart of 
monitored airplays, the chart that Seacrest uses on "American Top 40." And 
onrad.io, the aggregator of streaming radio around the world, lists "Small 
Town" as currently number 164 in airplay, being played around 300 times a 
day and was played on only 152 of their thousands of stations yesterday.  
As comparison, the current onrad.io number one, Luke Combs' remake of Tracy 
Chapman's "Fast Car," was played on 567 streams yesterday and is being 
played over 2,500 times a day worldwide.  But if Aldean can start selling 
out stadiums again...

Re: [TV orNotTV] 'ET' Staff Cut 10%

[Kevin M.]

Last time I watched the show, which I admit was years ago, it was nothing
more than a repository for electronic press kits and media junket
interviews. Not sure how much staff you need for that.

[TV orNotTV] 'ET' Staff Cut 10%

[Mark Jeffries]

The cuts at CBS Media Ventures' syndicated showbiz tabmag "Entertainment 
Tonight" were mostly on the digital end, although "correspondent" Will 
Marfuggi (who had only joined the show in September from E!) and weekend 
show co-host Matt Cohen and some producers were included:

https://www.thewrap.com/entertainment-tonight-lays-off-nearly-10-percent-staff/

This came the same night "ET" got CBS network play in prime time for a 
buttkissing "25th anniversary tribute" to next-door neighbor on the CBS 
Radford lot "Big Brother" (that's 25 seasons, not years--they're counting 
"Celebrity" and the years during strikes that were multiple seasons), and 
I'm sure Andy Denhart will verify that no discussion was made of the 
notorious racism of many of the hamsters over the years.  But hey, how 
about Chenbot's stiff delivery?

Yep - that was a perfect example of the

I have no specific comment (it has been eighteen years since I worked as a 
closed-captioner, and even then, I was never really involved with the technical 
side of things)... other to say that this article could have been a 
three-sentence blurb instead.

"An episode of 'Love Island U.K.' featuring a performance by singer Rita Ora 
was pulled from Hulu after being briefly available on Sunday. Although there 
was some speculation that the withdrawal was due to licensing issues, 
representatives for the streamer confirmed that it was due to the episode's 
closed-captioning not working properly. The episode has now returned to the 
service."
