20th Century Fox TV Cuts Production Budgets
News Corp.-owned 20th Century Fox Television is implementing across-the-board production cuts at all of its series, joining a growing list of companies trimming budgets in the wake of the economic downturn.
All 20th producers have been told to reduce their budgets by 2%, a spokesman for the studio confirmed Tuesday. The move affects both existing hits such as “24” and “Family Guy” as well as newer shows such as “Life on Mars” and “Dollhouse.”
"In these challenging economic times, we've asked all of our showrunners to trim their production budgets by 2%, an assignment which they have all embraced,” a 20th spokesman said. “Everyone understands that revenues are down and these steps are necessary to protect our business."
The cuts at 20th follow ABC Studios’ decision to ask its producers to trim 2% from their respective budgets. NBC Universal and CBS Corp. also have recently undergone waves of layoffs in reaction to the gloomy economic climate.

Does this mean even more product placement in future season than there was during 24: Redemption?
I could see that being one way of working around the budget cuts for more popular programs...

Might I suggest that temporary minimal salary cuts for staff and higher temporary cuts for folks who are in the high end above the line and below line brackets, is a better way to cut costs rather than using the big ax and laying people off (causing much personal grief and crushing family debt).
If this was done by other industries as well, it could help stop this terrible spiral down that is gripping us all.

The U.S. Department of State sent an alert Sunday for Yank travelers in European countries to be aware with the heightened prospective for an al-Qaeda terrorist attack. The caution did not designate any specific sites nevertheless did alert Americans in foreign countries of terrorists’ prospective “to attack the bus systems besides other tourist infrastructure.” But no military or administration infrastructures?

Yesterday, Rush used shows of President obama and Hillary Clinton or other Dems and then played films from Ahmadinejad’s address and noticed that they both equally say the same things where debating The u . s and capitalism.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Having dealt with the company, I thought about my family. How many days he had not spent much time with them? How many years I had picked out gifts for me? Maybe this time I was a Christmas surprise.

Any website or the seller offers a product for far less than retail is probably not true. Another gift of death is the dust bag. If the bag is included, the anthers faith rounded corners and is made from high quality materials.
