The New York Daily News' juicy gossip columnist, Ben Widdicombe, updates Cable Gamers on MSNBC's effort to gain second place--or at least spin its way into the perception of second-placedom through aggressive flackery.
Bottom line: It looks like good news for CNN's Lou Dobbs; he is likely to move to prime time with Campbell Brown, formerly of NBC.
And it looks like bad news for Paula Zahn, who seems destined to get the axe.
But as TV Newser observes of all this Cable Game to-ing and fro-ing, "That said, Fox News still beats them both, no matter how you define it." That site also usefully updates us on NBC's plan to shuffle folks from headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Center in Manhattan to the boonies of Secaucus, NJ. What's that joke? Something about deckchairs?
An interesting updating to get our week going. And oh, did I mention that Ben Widdicombe is juicy?
