    • Did NBC Alter the Olympics' Opening Ceremony?

      Posted by Jeff

      Viewing the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony online at NBC's Olympics website, you can see that the order in which the countries were presented was very different from the actual order of the countries in the ceremony, as listed at Wikipedia. NBC skipped roughly 100 countries ahead, then jumped back and forth, apparently delaying the appearance of the United States in its home market until later in the broadcast. (In fact, the US team was shown on the infield before they were shown marching!) NBC did not acknowledge this in its broadcast. Is NBC altering the reality of the broadcast to boost ratings? Was this true only online, or also in the live broadcast?

    • NBC Burns Logo Into Cho Video Before Distribution

      Posted by Jeff from New York Times

      One aspect that clearly irritated many of NBC’s competitors was the impression of the logo “NBC News,” which the network burned into every image from the material. Mr. Friedman of CBS said he had thought about calling NBC executives Wednesday night to suggest they remove the logo simply to distance the network from the material. “It may backfire for them to be so closely associated with footage that makes people’s flesh crawl,” Mr. Friedman said.

      As Gore Looks to Future, Networks Stuck in Everyday Politics

      Posted by Jeff from Columbia Journalism Review

      While his solutions were politically difficult (to say the least), Gore talked about what could be done on global warming -- a message that was almost completely lost on the big three's evening news programs last night. While Gore looked to the future, CBS, NBC and ABC -- and consequently their 25 million or so viewers -- were stuck in the petty politics and flashy sound bites of the present.

      Prickly Peacock nixes Chicks

      "It's a sad commentary about the level of fear in our society that a movie about a group of courageous entertainers who were blacklisted for exercising their right of free speech is now itself being blacklisted by corporate America," Harvey Weinstein said in a statement. "The idea that anyone should be penalized for criticizing the president is profoundly un-American."

    • NBC to run fall TV promos on YouTube

      Posted by Billbar from Yahoo News!

      The deal will highlight promos made by or for NBC. They may include clips from new shows or old ones such as "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," behind-the-scenes interviews and other features largely exclusive to the Internet. NBC also is sponsoring a contest for fans of "The Office" to create their own promotional videos.
