TMZ has always been an extremely cool website, one of the few cool things about AOL + Time-Warner, in fact. And so TCG wasn't surprised to see that T-W has unloaded the gossip-and-buzz oriented site, selling to Fox, as reported by Chris Pursell of TV Week.
And the exact language chosen by Frank Cicha, senior v.p. of programming for Fox Television Stations: "What we are buying into is a proven, immensely successful Internet brand," he said. "The unique combination of broadcast and broadband this project brings makes it extremely attractive."
Yes indeedy. That's the future, the future of television, and also the future of the Net. It's called synergy, and it's really upon us, coming to a screen--any screen--near you.
