Why CNNfn Failed

摘要

Last Wednesday was a hot news day in the media business. Michael Ovitz testified about his corporate back-stabbing at Disney. DreamWorks' animation unit went public. And Howard Stem had called into nemesis FCC Chairman Michael Powell's AM radio talk show. Good material for a show like The Biz, the half-hour show on the media business airing daily on CNNfn. So who were CNNfh's guests that Wednesday? Jean Smart, a comedic actress on CBS's Center of the Universe, and the Canadian punk-pop group Simple Plan. Exciting.
