<p style="font-size: 150%;">With Conan now gone and Jay Leno returning to NBC's late night schedule how do you advertise Jay's return especially after you spent months advertising his move to prime time. Well this ad uses a bit of humor to show message of his return to late night and, is more subtle that the previous ads.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Spartacus Is Coming To "Starz"</title><category term="Drama"/><category term="Spartacus:Blood and Sand"/><category term="Starz"/><id>http://thetelevisionbeat.com/latest-news/2009/12/21/spartacus-is-coming-to-starz.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://thetelevisionbeat.com/latest-news/2009/12/21/spartacus-is-coming-to-starz.html"/><author><name>TV GUY</name></author><published>2009-12-22T00:38:19Z</published><updated>2009-12-22T00:38:19Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 150%;"><strong>Starz</strong> the premium movie service is adding another series to its channel this one is Spartacus: Blood and Sand which will premiere on the channel on January 22nd 2010.

The show has had strong ratings for the channel so wasn't really a surprise that it is being brought back. The show stars Hutch Dano and Adam Hicks who are long time buddies who want to become world famous skateboarders. Toon Disney used to be the place to watch old Disney cartoon shows such as <em>Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers</em> but it was always overshadowed by the Cartoon Network; So the rebranding to Disney XD and catering to young boys seems to have worked wonders in the ratings for this channel.</span></p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>ABC Moves Veteran Soaps Around</title><category term="ABC"/><category term="All My Children"/><category term="One Life To Live"/><category term="Soap Opera"/><id>http://thetelevisionbeat.com/latest-news/2009/8/5/abc-moves-veteran-soaps-around.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://thetelevisionbeat.com/latest-news/2009/8/5/abc-moves-veteran-soaps-around.html"/><author><name>TV GUY</name></author><published>2009-08-05T18:27:24Z</published><updated>2009-08-05T18:27:24Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 150%;">Over the last few years the onetime ratings powerhouse daytime soap operas have suffered amid declining ratings which has caused cast cuts. The biggest example of the problems on the soaps is when CBS canceled the long running soap opera <em>Guiding Light </em>after 72 years<em>. </em>Now ABC is making some moves concerning its soap but at the moment is not canceling any instead it is switching locations for their filming. In the cost cutting shuffle <em>All My Children </em>will move from its current home in Los Angeles to New York in a studio complex double the size of its current home. <em>One Life To Live</em> will also move from New York in to Los Angeles in to <em>All My Childrens</em> space which is 30 percent larger than its current home. The move to New York of <em>All My Children </em>means also the show will also be able to start broadcasting in HD. There are reports that ABC is working with Alisha Tyler on a pilot which could replace one of the soaps so the future in soap opera land isnt rosey. If i had to make a prediction i would say that the future of <em>One Life To Live </em>may not be certain.</span></p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>"Good Eats" 10th Anniversary Competition</title><category term="Cooking"/><category term="Food Network"/><category term="Good Eats"/><id>http://thetelevisionbeat.com/latest-news/2009/8/4/good-eats-10th-anniversary-competition.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://thetelevisionbeat.com/latest-news/2009/8/4/good-eats-10th-anniversary-competition.html"/><author><name>TV GUY</name></author><published>2009-08-04T10:58:15Z</published><updated>2009-08-04T10:58:15Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 150%;"><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 100px;" src="http://thetelevisionbeat.com/storage/The_Television_Beat_Logo_copy.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1249384181205" alt="" /></span></span>If you are a fan of <em>Good Eats</em> on the Food Network like i am you may be interetsed in a competition to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the show.
