I don't think you can really make television based on what you think audiences want. You can only make stories that you like, because you have to watch it so many times.

If you're going to vote on a television contract, there is a certain rationality to saying that the same structures that are applied to Health Plan participation should be placed on the right to vote on a strike.

I think most people don't react well to being screamed at. It's counterproductive.

And the consumer doesn't care. They don't watch networks, they watch TV shows.

There are other options out there, after all, like read a book, go on the Internet, rent a movie.

Drama or comedy programming is still the surest way for advertisers to reach a mass audience. Once that changes, all bets are off.

The agendas on the management side of the table now are not in sync like they used to be because you have vastly different entities supplying programming to networks.
