“We hear about how it’s people on benefits that are the scourge of our society, but now we finally know it isn’t the poor, the disadvantaged, the badly educated, the disabled and the obese that is the drain on our economy, no, it is the rich, the overprivileged, the privately educated.”

NBC, a unit of Comcast, said it had sold $1 billion in national ads for the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, as the network prepares to broadcast a rare Games where some of the most high-profile contests will air live in prime time for U.S. audiences.
NBC said in a statement on Tuesday that the Games, which start on Aug. 5, were on pace to generate the biggest Olympics advertising sales ever. The $1 billion figure includes national broadcast, cable and digital ad sales, the network said.
“We’ve surpassed the $1 billion mark four months ahead of (the 2012 Summer Games in) London,” Seth Winter, NBC Sports’ executive vice president of advertising Sales, said in a statement.

With the recently announced shutdown of Al Jazeera America, the alternative cable news scene is in flux.
Launched as a corrective to the politicized and spectacle-heavy programming of Fox News, CNN and MSNBC, Al Jazeera America positioned itself as a fact-based, unbiased news source. Even though the network won awards for reporting, the Qatari government-funded channel suffered from the public perception that it had an anti-Western, pro-Islamic stance. Amid lowering gas prices and reports of other financial woes, the channel announced it would shut down its U.S. operations at the end of April.
As Al Jazeera America closes shop, it’s worth wondering how this change will affect the position of RT America – previously known as Russia Today America – in the U.S. market. Like Al Jazeera, RT America has fashioned itself as a serious alternative to the politicized media circus promoted by the top three cable news stations. Unlike Al Jazeera, it runs ad-free, which arguably gives it even more potential for influence-free programming.

Hill Street Blu-ooh-ooh-oohs
Hill Street Blues
Hill Street Blu-ooh-ooh-oohs
Hill Street Blues
