Chapter 702: A+ Cable News

"What happened to Charis?"

In the restaurant in Highland Park, Linda put down the phone and said to Hayden, who was eating, "I cried and laughed and talked incoherently when I called." ”

"Did she offer to talk to APLUS personally?" Hayden asked.

"Of course." Linda said.

"That's it." Hayden smiled, "She's always been quite scheming. ”

Linda snorted with her nostrils, and at this time Song Ya followed Old Mike and the others downstairs, "Hayden, haven't you eaten yet?" Hurry up, we're catching a flight! Song Ya urged loudly.

"Flights? I'm here on your private jet today. Hayden was stunned.

"yes, the reading essay in this semester's logic and rhetoric class has blurred me."

Song Ya remembered that his wife was frightened by her sudden illness, and now the Gulfstream plane can be enjoyed at will, as for the oath? It's all angry talk, angry talk......

"Charlis just called and said she wanted to tell you something in person, you see......"

Linda flashed her phone, and Hayden gave her a strange look, but didn't make a sound.

"Let's talk about everything in the car."

Song Ya's attention was not on this, the group got in the car and rushed to the airport, Linda called Charliss back, he chatted with the girl for a few words and put down the phone, "Fxxk, Harvey sent a Hollywood pimp to quietly seduce Charlise behind my back, Hayden, you let Yeremov pay more attention to take care of her." ”

In Hollywood, Harvey's crush on a girl isn't necessarily a bad thing for that girl, and of course Hayden wasn't stupid enough to be the boss and say, "Okay, Charlis signed under the CAA's Perkinsley, and I'll let Yeremov ...... Kinsley directly."

"Come on, Pykinsley might try to persuade Charis to do it." Song Ya said.

"Okay, I know what to do." Hayden didn't dare to refute it anymore.

"Well, by the way, since Harvey is doing something to my people, then the New York Times won't ask him for help with that matter, you William Morris can handle it, right?"

Song Ya confirmed again, "I don't want to see his house suddenly broadcast some special episodes about the Chicago Black Police Case or the Sinaloa Case." ”

"It can be done, Arthur Jr., the boss of New York Times, is a very reasonable person, and we have reached a tacit understanding with him." Hayden took the opportunity to report the good news.

"Hmm."

This is a big deal, Song Ya thought about it carefully, "Linda, let Charlis not turn her face directly with that pimp, I don't want Harvey to turn my business around." ”

"Okay." Linda picked up her phone and dialed it again.

"Hayden, did you bring the information?" Ignoring Linda, who was whispering on the phone, Song Ya stretched out her hand to Hayden.

"Brought."

Hayden pulled out a large stack of papers from his briefcase, "Did you finish reading it on the road?" ”

"You have to watch it even if you can't finish it."

Song Ya immediately entered the state of work, as long as the goal is determined, he is a person with very strong action, since he decided to be a black news station for twenty hours, it is about to enter the preparatory stage, the most famous black news host Gordon is indispensable, and now he has not found a reliable investor, he is still in a state of seeking himself, and it is not necessary to wait for other players to come in.

Second, although the telecommunications bill has been hindered a lot in the House of Representatives, but the two parties only have differences in the rules, the bill is expected to be passed, and now it is still too late to buy a small TV station or simply get the channel resources, even if it is much more expensive than last year when MC Hammer sold the TV station, but after the telecommunications bill is passed, it will definitely not be this price, and the cost will skyrocket.

Three, that is, the Sutton family on the side of the inner city broadcasting company is very urgent, and they keep urging Alicia to complete the preliminary negotiations, and these annoyers who do not distinguish between politics and business are now entangled in their own only life-saving straw, which is quite meaningful, and it is a good means to get a self-owned TV station as soon as possible.

"Disney has hinted at launching ABC's own 24-hour cable news channel after the acquisition of ABC, CBS and FOX have also announced that they will follow suit, and NBC has reached a strategic partnership with Microsoft, and they are planning to launch a joint venture news channel called MSNBC, and will also push news on the website at the same time......"

Song Ya sighed while looking at the information, "It seems that the three major wireless networks and FOX are ready to encircle and suppress CUU in the field of cable news!" ”

"Yes, the telecommunications bill will intensify competition and mergers, and the three major wireless television networks that have been in the lead are the most nervous, and they may use their scale advantage to develop stronger, or they may lose the competition of new players, and the competition in this area of 24-hour cable news will be fiercer than ever in the future."

Hayden said: "The launch time of these new channels will be about this time next year, that is, everyone judges that the telecommunications bill will be passed in the first half of next year, but it is all intention, and these big stations can get new channels with the allocation of resources at will, which is very easy." And you, boss, Xiaotai's situation is only going to get tougher, don't blame me and Donovan for not reminding you. ”

"It's a big deal to get it out and sell it, Johnson has planned an entertainment-based route for BET, and there is market space for black serious news stations."

Song Ya replied. He is now focused on solving the problem at hand, countering the inner-city broadcaster, and preparing media resources in advance for the Vic case.

"Have you ever thought that Johnson is probably right?"

Linda joined the discussion after the phone call, "Black people really don't like to watch serious news, and the average family disposable income in our group is not high, not many people are willing to subscribe to a cable station that broadcasts 24 hours a day......

"That's it, there are a lot of smart people in this world, and there must be a reason why there is an obvious market vacancy but no one wants to enter it."

Hayden agreed.

"That's because they're not smart enough, OK?"

Song Ya didn't care, "Think about the Barn Chemical, isn't it just relying on fluorescent parties, and the new demand for glow sticks has come to life?" There's no demand in the market to create......"

He deliberately ignored that the idea of the fluorescent party was the result of the help of the apocalypse, don't we have money in our hands, even if we leave 30 million for Netscape plus SUN's stock, there are nearly 100 million unspent it, and I have to invest it anyway before the end of the year, the interest rate is getting lower and lower, and he doesn't want to bleed as much as this year in the tax season next year.

"You're a genius, you have the final say." Hayden was convinced.

The group met Goodman and Hamlin, who were waiting at the airport, and boarded the Gulfstream for a direct flight to Los Angeles.

Gordon was very cautious, he didn't make an appointment to meet in BET's hometown Washington, D.C., but found an opportunity to come to Los Angeles to interview Simpson in prison, the heat of that guy's case has always been perverted, and the people of the United States always seem to can't get enough of this big drama with stars, love, cheating, murder, suspense, politics, money, law and even gossip elements.

"Gordon, I've decided to support you."

At Mariah Carey's Malibu Beach Party, Songya met Gordon and he got straight to the point, "The Sutton Guys are so annoying, I'm going to make a news station of my own." ”

"Really!? That's great! APLUS。 ”

Gordon was overjoyed for a moment, this middle-aged black elite with a lot of fame was so excited that he almost spilled the wine in his glass, took a big step forward, and held Song Ya's hand tightly, "You don't know how long I've been waiting for this day." ”

"Do you have any ideas?" Song Ya asked, "To the new TV station." ”

"Of course, he has to be on par with CUU, our black own news station......"

Gordon immediately began to gush about "the same 24-hour rolling broadcast, the same discussion only about major news events in the world and at home......"

"How to solve the world news part?" Goodman, who was next to him, interjected and asked, "We can't afford to maintain a global news team like CUU's." ”

"You can buy it, in addition to Milian, we can also ...... from AFP, Reuters, Gonggong, Xinhua"

"Some countries don't maintain global news sources for profit, and they're glad to see that the U.S. media is willing to quote their news stories at a low cost," Gordon said. ”

"It's not appropriate, is it?" Song Ya is willing, but he is also very sensitive to politics, and it is okay to do so occasionally, and using the mouthpieces of these other countries as the main source of global news will definitely be strangled by the political circles of the United States, regardless of the donkey.

"Of course, I'm talking about filling in the gaps in global news sources in the early days of the station, and then the first step is to set up a news station in South Africa and then expand to other places, which is a long-term process."

Gordon said: "Anyway, most of the black people in the United States pay attention to domestic news, and the international concept is not high, and the proportion of international news will not be high at that time." ”

"Well, you did plan for the long term." Song Ya nodded: "Is there a plan?" ”

"Yes, but I can't take it out right now." "I can't risk being found out by Johnson and then going back on it, he's already suspicious of me." ”

"Gordon, I can't risk being over-provoked Johnson, you'd better break up peacefully, or I won't necessarily accept you, you understand?"

Song Ya knows very well that she can't offend the most influential BAT in the black community today for the sake of future media influence, uh, offending will definitely offend, but she can only offend a little, and she must not risk tearing her face.

"I understand, don't worry, why don't you think about what our new TV station is called?" Gordon laughed.

"I came up with a name, A+ Cable News, ACN for short, how about it?"

"Yes, very good!"
