Breaking: The end of TV Spy

[newsman123 142]

Ad Week is shuttering TV Spy, the long running newsletter/website so many in TV News went to over the years to keep up with station and talent moves. The webpage announced its upcoming cease of operations on September 12th.

Sadly this was coming for a while and it was deserved when AdWeek for some inexplicable reason decided to start requiring email addresses to read more content; the site went immediately to my 'don't bother' list where I'd only click on a story I cared about (and that's probably why the Programming Insider walked too before the daily Nielsens were heavily locked down). Right now outside a few stories it's just a never-ending stream of PR and little to no actual news.

I feel like @TheRolyPoly does a better job than TV Spy.

Everyday it feels like broadcast TV is less and less of an interesting medium. Just look at all the consolidation happening. It's like what happened to FM radio in the late-90s/early-00s.

That’s sad I check it everyday I will miss it. But there still other pages that are just as great.
