random tv news bits

- when it rains it pours for 4th place nbc...
nbc's current shaky situation emboldens the other networks will aggressively counterprogram previously unassailable olympic coverage

- cbs moves the amazing race to 10pm, citing solid numbers in that time slot before. my problem is that i already watch l&o: svu and tivo the shield. these tv network execs are killin me.

- wrapping up the primetime nfl shake-up, espn and tony kornheiser must overcome some issues like bedtimes and travel for his new role on MNF.

meanwhile, in a similar vein as how much is stern worth, al michaels comes with a (rather hefty) price tag for nbc, such as rights to various sporting events and even a cartoon character predecessor to disney icon mickey mouse
update [feb10]: more on the 'trade', including al michaels comment and a bit of history of oswald the lucky rabbit
