Bidding war over Irwin story
Cory Bergman October 4th, 2006
The NY Post is reporting that ABC paid as much as $1 million dollars to secure the rights for archive footage of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. Oh, and the deal came along with an exclusive interview with Irwin’s widow, Terri. “We do not pay for interviews. Period,” said ABC News spokesman Jeff Schneider. “We paid a fair license fee for hours of exclusive material of Steve Irwin. Compensating rights-holders for their video is something that is a standard industry practice.”

Is it just me or is whole crocidile hunter thing played out. I know that he was an icon to Animal Planet, but did anyone really watch the show. It’s too bad that he died, but this has hollywood bomb written all over it.

ABC won its time period for the Irwin widow interview, so clearly pay-for-play “journalism” works.
