Bart Simpson: Very well, you leave me no choice. This gun is filled with ketchup.
Bart Simpson’s home network, Fox, jolts the television industry. The new kid on the broadcast block snatches away a dozen affiliates of the big 3 networks.
Bart: Cool
Most of the defections are from CBS.
Phil Kloer, TV Critic: Nothing like this has ever happened in broadcast television before,
CBS scrambles to find new stations to run its programs.
Kloer: .and chances are, that new affiliate is going to be weaker, and it’s going to hurt.
Paul Schulman, Media Buyer: It’s a big loss in the amount of people who can receive the CBS signal.
Preston Padden, V.P. Fox Affiliates: Today’s announcement is really a giant step toward our goal of becoming the #1 television network in America.
That step is a costly one. Fox makes a half-billion dollar investment in the company that owns its new affiliates. That’s after spending big money for the rights to air NFL games, which had been
on CBS for decades.
[no idea who this is]:City: Im ready. Hey, where’d everyone go?
That’s what some viewers are left wondering as they try to sort out the network changes and the changing channels of some programs.
