MAYOR OF TELEVISION BLOG.Byline: > DAVID David, in the BibleDavid, d. c.970 B.C., king of ancient Israel (c.1010–970 B.C.), successor of Saul. The Book of First Samuel introduces him as the youngest of eight sons who is anointed king by Samuel to replace Saul, who had been deemed a failure. KRONKE A 'Musical' tsunami With yet another record for the "High School Musical" franchise, you can bet this is only the beginning of the onslaught expected from Disney. "HSM (1) (Hierarchical Storage Management) The automatic movement of files from hard disk to slower, less-expensive storage media.

all-time record audience for basic cable, 17.2 million viewers. And it
re-aired Saturday night and Sunday, so Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and
the rest of the gang had a chance to reach millions more.
To put this in perspective: Broadcast network programs over the summer have ranked No. 1 for a week without managing even 10 million viewers, and a huge chunk of network fare hasn't drawn close to half of what "HSM2" did. And broadcast television has a far broader reach than Disney Channel has on cable -- and numerous viewing parties means the final total may have actually been much larger. Also: The other big "teen" flick this weekend, the Apatow entertainment machine's acclaimed "Superbad" (granted, they're aimed at waaay different audiences), earned an impressive $12 million at the box office on Friday. But that still translates into fewer than 2 million tickets sold. Other records: It's the all-time TV champ in terms of kid viewers 6 to 11, only the 2004 Super Bowl had more tween tween n.

"Many of our employees contribute significant hours of overtime during our production season. This is quite common within the television industry," a publicist blithely informed Page Six, confirming the overtime. So the Page Sixers hit the Dashboard function on their iMacs and did the math: If said employee worked a five-day week five-day week n → semana inglesa five-day week n → semaine f de cinq jours five-day week five n → , she averaged 18.5 hours of work a day, whereas were she working all week with no days off, she was only clocking 13.2 hours a day. Slacker. As we noted, TV Guide reported that Oprah pulls down $260 million per year. Would it kill her to take a pay cut of, say, a million a year and hire a couple of extra people so the rest of her team can have lives? |
