☆ Disney starts drafting broadcast TV’s grand finale
  + stars: | 2023-09-14 | by ( Jennifer Saba | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +9 min
It was pretty much the only way to watch “Gunsmoke” or “Howdy Doody” until cable networks arrived in force in the 1980s, bundled together for a monthly subscription fee. For Disney, ABC represented a watershed moment. Look deeper and the big broadcasters attracted only one in five viewers, while one in three watched cable networks. The TV group, excluding cable networks such as Fox News, generated an EBITDA margin of nearly 12% for the year ending June 30. Assume any deal includes cable networks such as Disney Channel and National Geographic.

A car driving with a bull in it was pulled over by police in northeast Nebraska's biggest city. A video of the traffic stop shot by News Channel Nebraska spread quickly online. Reiman said Meyer wasn't headed to a parade Wednesday. Meyer didn't answer his home phone Thursday morning so he couldn't be reached immediately for an explanation. Videos of Lee Meyer driving Howdy Doody around can readily be found online from 2017 and 2019.

☆ This Steer Rides Shotgun
  + stars: | 2023-08-31 | by ( Michael Levenson | More About Michael Levenson | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Let this be a warning to those of you who long to hit the open road with a 2,200-pound steer riding shotgun: Observe all traffic laws, especially when passing through Norfolk, Neb. Lee Meyer, 63, a retired machinist, learned that lesson on Wednesday. For seven years, Mr. Meyer has been chauffeuring his 2,200-pound Watusi-longhorn mix named Howdy Doody with its horns and head exposed to the open air in a customized Ford Crown Victoria with the license plate “Boy Dog.”But he had never been stopped by the police, he said, until Wednesday morning as he drove Howdy Doody into Norfolk from his 15-acre ranch south of Neligh, about 35 miles away. Mr. Meyer had just turned off the highway on what was supposed to be a test run in preparation for Howdy Doody’s appearance at Norfolk’s Oktoberfest when he noticed a police car behind him had turned on its flashing lights.

☆ I Loved ‘Pee-wee’s Playhouse’ Enough to Marry It
  + stars: | 2023-07-31 | by ( James Poniewozik | More About James Poniewozik | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
“Pee-wee’s Playhouse” premiered on CBS in 1986, the year I graduated from high school, which means I was probably too old for it. Or maybe too young. (Among them was a young Laurence Fishburne as Cowboy Curtis, wielding an animated lasso.) The overstuffed set, with its midcentury candy palette and zigzag angles, looked like a B-52s album you could live inside. Pee-wee the character was a parody — a high-on-Pixy-Stix exaggeration of the clean-cut kids’ hosts of the 1950s, a Howdy Doody who brought himself to life.

☆ Here's the six-word outlook for stocks in 2023: going to hell in a handbasket
  + stars: | 2022-11-20 | by ( Linette Lopez | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
We knew that the stock market had formed a bubble and that it was going to pop as interest rates went up. That, in turn, pushed the stock market off a cliff so steep that we still cannot see the bottom. This all goes back to the Fed's move to keep interest rates at 0% after the 2008 financial crisis. Since interest rates were so low, companies that didn't make money could just borrow to keep the lights on. In 2018, Wall Street got a preview of how ugly this bubble would look once it popped in earnest.
