Chicago 1990

Chapter 805: Competition Clause

Daddy, it's Daddy!"

Little Robb is getting bigger and bigger, and he can already recognize that the person singing on the screen is his own father. He clapped his hands in front of the TV gratifyingly, very happy.

"Daddy is leaving."

Song Ya went downstairs wearing a coat and hugged him, "Will you miss me? Huh?"

Little Robb stared at the real person for a few seconds, then turned his head to ignore him.

"Haha, don't be shy..."

Song Ya put him down, walked to the door, turned around and waved to his son, "Say goodbye to Dad?"

"Goodbye."

Well, yes, she is becoming more and more like herself. Song Ya went out with satisfaction, raised her head and said hello to Xue Linfen at the second floor window, and hurried to the next city.

In this era of influence, especially after the unplugged concert broadcast on MTV, which has a particularly strong influence on young people, the outside world has given recognition to his singing skills, and the popularity of six new songs plus old songs has increased a lot, by the way It also drove the sales of some first albums and dance soundtracks of my life.

Brenda has finally been matched by the audience and the female singer who has performed many times in the original soundtrack of my life, and his popularity has risen a lot.

The last appearance of the lovely Chicago Children's Choir received the greatest praise. The cross-border cooperation between the two parties was perfect because of Be What You Wanna Be.

In terms of the second special, I Gotta Feeling rose to No. 4 on the singles chart. It will definitely surpass next week under Jenny Jackson's Runaway. The top two are still Mariah Carey's Fantasy and Gangstas Paradise.The album chart won the first place, and the sales data still maintained a steady increase. The stamina was not bottomed. Mariah Carey’s daydream fell to third place, and Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness of Pumpkin Broken The dark horse's capital airborne second.

Now the outside world calls him and Mariah Carey a money-robbing couple, and the two can occupy a huge area of ​​the music media.

'boom!'

In a rugby game in Chicago, he was in charge of the midfield performance and watched the field with a smile in the box. The kick-off guest was Underwood. The party whip performed well. He shot into the strike zone and won The fans applauded warmly.

"The view here is great."

Claire did not appear on the sidelines to accompany her husband to show up, but stayed in this super luxury bag to entertain guests, "Please allow me to thank you, APLUS."

"No, no, don't thank me, just Ms. Xie Sloan."

Song Ya smiled and said to Sloan, who was rarely wearing a sexy long skirt.

This box was set by Sloan’s former lobbyist company around the corners. Claire will actually dominate and use it in the future. In order to circumvent the rule that gifts to politicians should not exceed fifty dollars in value, this box is a so-called discount by a bag party company. commodity.

The games are all open, but the box hasn’t found customers yet, so it’s reasonable to order a $49.99 sale, right?The excellent wine, lobster, and caviar prepared in the box are already a dazzling array of cold dishes, and they are also included. Anyway, if they can’t be sold, they will be discarded after the expiration date. Then you have to spend another cleaning fee. It is better to give it away. , A very reasonable business choice, right?

Claire only spends $49.99 at a time in exchange for a simple ticket like a fast-food restaurant discount coupon, and then can bring friends here on the days when there are games to reluctantly consume discounted boxes and taste expired food and drinks. Now, she is really a frugal politician's wife.

what?Will the wine expire too?Did not save well, poor management, management mistakes, mistakes.

Of course, there must always be someone who really pays, and that is the accounting problem between Songya's company and the lobbyist company.

"Peter Flock..."

"Peter Flock..."

"Alicia..."

The people in the box are talking about the governor election in Illinois. Voting will begin in late November, and votes will be opened at the end of the month. There is not much time left. The gap between Peter and the Elephant Party opponents is very, very weak, and the Donkey Party members cannot help but worry.

"Hey, thank you, thank you... Haha, I have practiced."

At the beginning of the game, Underwood finally appeared in the box. He smiled and greeted everyone one by one, "How is your TV station?"

"No, the ratings are not up to the standard, and it's not that it's not up to the standard. It's just that you may not get the good channel resources of Comcast."

Song Ya told the truth.

"That's not good news, right? Plus Comcast's recent announcement after the company's strategy seminar."

Underwood is really paying attention to his own TV station. "Have you heard of it?" Song Ya asked.

"of course."

With the successive successful listings of Internet companies, all peripheral industries have been driven up. The situation is very good. Comcast decided to stop its expansion in the direction of the TV network and instead focus its resources on network infrastructure, such as the old bank. Laying of dedicated network lines.

This is bad news for A+CN, because its potential subscribers follow the total number of users connected to Comcast's TV network. If Comcast does not expand, the smaller it can eat in the future.

"What are you going to do?" Underwood asked.

"Uh……"

Song Ya didn’t know what to do, shrugged and replied bitterly: “When A+CN officially gets the channel resources, I plan to burn one year’s money next year for promotion and subscribers. In short, all the tricks that can be used are used. Then it's up to fate."

"It seems that this can only be done."

Underwood thought for a while, "You guess the best might be."

"The best is probably just a TV station between second-rate and third-rate, unless you encounter the Simpson case like a big pie from the sky like the NBC legal channel."

Song Ya said, "That's the only way."

"That's a pity." Underwood's words may be from the heart, "Well, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Speaking of NBC, you must have heard of his recent jokes, right? ?"

"of course."

NBC previously drove away its senior managers with bad reputations, that is, the financial channel CNBC hit hero, and created the famous conservative media person Roger Ailes, the predecessor of MSNBC News Channel. They know Roger Ailes well. Ability and connections, so I don’t know what method was used to force him to sign a paper competition clause before leaving, which is tantamount to driving him out of the television industry.

Unexpectedly, Roger Ailes turned his head and got employed at FOX. NBC immediately initiated a lawsuit, but the recent verdict came down to surprise. NBC lost the lawsuit because there is a clause in the competition clause that does not allow Roger Ailes to be in any one. Re-employment of existing'TV stations.

Roger Ayres used this clause to cooperate with the media tycoon Murdoch behind FOX. Murdoch opened a new TV station for him, Fox News, which means that this is not part of the signing of the competition clause. The scope of any existing television station indicated.

NBC made a big joke. It was heard that Jack Welch, the CEO of General Electric behind him, was extremely angry and bloodbathed the legal department of NBC.

"In fact, your A+CN also belonged to any existing TV station at that time." Underwood quipped.

"Haha."

Song Ya was also amused. The old conservatives like Roger Ayres would never go to a 24-hour black news station to find another job...

The current situation is that the passage of the telecommunications bill next year is a high probability event. FOX and the three major wireless stations’ own 24-hour news stations have gradually emerged. NBC is the first to move. MSNBC, their cooperation with Microsoft, is already The army is ready to go. ABC, which was acquired by Disney, is second. The name of their news station is to steal their original plan. FOX News is third, and CBS is slowly located at the end.

Other small and medium businesses such as A+CN have followed suit to create similar channels, but their influence is very low, and it poses no threat to the first four channels plus the existing CUU.

"APLUS, it's time to prepare."

Linda came over to remind, "Time is tight."

"Okay, then I will go backstage Mr. Underwood." Song Ya hurriedly left the box.
