Somehow Dayton, Ohio's WDTN got this video on the front page. A whole bunch of people clicked on it and derided it as "pointless" or "crap":

It's merely an animation by Giant Octopus, with a cut of 615 Music's Tower V.1 over it. I kind of find it amusing that this over-the-top shiny thing is derided as "crap".

ABC O&Os Could Lose ABC Programming

July 29, 2010

DENVER - The new owner of ABC, Anonymous User, has said that the network's owned-and-operated stations could lose their network affiliations at the end of the year.

"I keep telling them that I'm tired of their bullshit", he said on the matter. "Sure, we own some of the highest-rated local television stations in the country, but sometimes you have to keep them in line".

Nine of the ten stations currently run the entire network schedule, in pattern. The lone holdout, Denver's KMGH, sometimes runs local "nature" specials in place of network programming. The station's recent acquisition may explain why this hasn't changed yet.

"I bet the O&Os are scared shitless of the prospect of losing ABC. Scared of me. I AM POWERFUL!" he said.

Don't fight me.

I'll chuck KFSN at you if you try.

Fuck, I might even toss WJRT and WTVG at you.

(I own the last two, though I don't count them because I need to find a buyer)

KRAAA

OH WHY OH WHY DO WE HAVE O&Os IN FLINT AND TOLEDO

WE COULDN'T WORK UP THE BALLS TO TRY AND BUY WXYZ

WE DID, AFTER 24 LONG YEARS OF NOT OWNING IT

Also, I think I'm going to sell WJRT and WTVG to either Gannett or Hearst.

Hey AU, how about having more shows for men during daytime television?

Fine, we'll just cancel one of our soaps for laughs.

And replace it with something.

For men.

Damn, I just realized that we need to promote our daytime more.

But let's all play Whip The Schedule Writer!

We're gonna make him take back that slot Port Charles used to be in and fill it with not a soap.

For men.

You'd have to get a new show, something comedic. No crime shows, the market is over-saturated. How about a down on his luck cereal vendor that gets caught accidentally shipping drugs for the mafia?

^^You're a genius.

We'll hype this to hell and back.

We'll even force our affiliates and O&Os to do "stories" about it on their local news. They'll yammer about it non-stop on Good Morning America. We'll have a countdown on the bugs of ABC, ABC Family, the Lifetime networks, and the ESPN networks.

It'll be like NBC Universal, but not quite.

^Bill, I thought that was your most shameful moment. Why would you drudge up any reminder of it?

I'm down with cursing now. Also drugs and prostitution.

I run a whorehouse in my basement.

There's a cockfighting ring and a cock fighting ring. MTV's ratings will go through the roof after this.
