Re: [TV orNotTV] Viacom is CBS and CBS is Viacom... again

[Ben Scripps]

We ran a promo for “Evil” tonight where it appeared briefly; that was local, so 
it’s on the promos they feed to stations on the daily piping.  

They typically send a PR email when there’s some big thing they’re hyping, but 
I haven’t seen anything for this, so whatever the purpose, it’s pretty clear 
they’re keeping it low-key.  For now.  If they’re starting this early though, 
I’d imagine once we get closer to P-Stew’s "Get Off My Lawn” in January, the 
hype machine will shift into hyperspeed.

(Sorry if I triggered any Trek fans by not calling it “warp speed”.)

 Since I've only noticed it during "Young Sheldon" promos, I didn't think much 
of it (especially since Sheldon's in Spock costume for part of the latest promo)

It's possible the inclusion of the Starfleet delta shield reflects the reunion 
of the Paramount TV and film divisions (split up when Viacom and CBS split near 
the beginning of the century).  Does anyone have a handle on the other images 
at the end of the promo?

I suspect Trekkies are just about the only people using the CBS streaming
service, so they are promoting the bejeezus out of it to make sure the
eight who haven’t heard about it sign up.

I confess I’m interested in the Picard series, but my expectations are
mighty low considering so much of it is the brainchild of the Discovery
creative team.

 Not sure which I should be more impressed with - 17-year old Coco's penmanship 
or his letter writing ability.
Regrettably, I was only assigned White's Elements of Style (an updating of 
Strunk), and should take a look at the Letters and Essays.
I'd guess Conan might mention this in an upcoming edition of the podcast, but I 
don't know how far in advance they tape those things.

The fact that the public would likely rather see Carrie Underwood or Mariah

it is the promoter putting on the show.
