Dateline back from dead at expense of ‘Life’

The New York Times notes Dateline NBC is back on the schedule - if only for one night, to sub in for an episode of Life. Life isn’t dead according to NBC - but analysts think its future looks bleak. Peacock Productions staffers have been told to get ready to crank out three new episodes of Dateline each week after the new year to help fill the NBC schedule of the WGA strike drags on.

CNN prepares for Republican YouTube debate

After July’s interesting CNN YouTube debate for the Democrats, it’s time for the Republicans to answer questions from the online population. NY Times has a preview story about this Wednesday’s debate. They have already received over 3,000 videos, which will likely have them with as many as 5,000 before the debate. That’s an impressive number, but it’s interesting that CNN notes that “the video pool also is perhaps a little less diverse with regard to sex and race.” You can submit questions here. Will you be watching the debate?
