That big idea now has the TV world rocking. After less than two weeks of negotiations, Fox and New World brought about the most sweeping affiliation shake-up in network-television history. In return for an investment of $500 million from Fox, New World agreed to align 12 of its stations -- in such major markets as Detroit, Dallas, Atlanta and Phoenix, Arizona -- with Murdoch's scrappy young network. In each city, Fox will switch from a UHF station (one of those occupying the channel numbers above 13, which historically have had weaker signals and lower viewership) to a stronger...
...network's stock has dropped 11% since the Fox announcement, and the affiliation shake-up could have more depressing ramifications.

Picasso could not be more repulsive, but we already knew that anyway. His legendary misogyny is not lost on Martin or his scrip;, unfortunately there was on way to make it funny either. I kept wondering why Picasso gets his name in the title rather than Einstein. Not only is he the biggest drag...
