I've noticed that CBS has been airing ads for Leverage and other TNT series lately. I wonder if the package that has them sharing the NCAA basketball tournament includes a rider for cross-advertising.
If so, that's way cool.
Thinking outside the box.

Could very well be, though it usually involves the same product. Like ABC plugging Verses when ABC is broadcasting a IRL race because they both have coverage. I could be wrong but I think TNT did something like this a few years back and it did involve a deal for some shared coverage. It does make sense.

The first time I saw it was a few years ago when Battlestar Galactica was the big hit on Sci-Fi (now Sy-Fy, go figure). But that's mainly because NBC/Universal owns or owned Sci-Fi.
Still, it makes good sense.
With so many specialty channels, the networks have to think outside the box in promoting their shows.

There is is so much to choose from, it only makes sense to cross promote. I make use of netflix and their free streaming and along the way have discovered shows I had not been familiar with, so it does make a lot of sense to make use of whatever means one has to promote your product.

Put down the remote control and pick up a musical instrument.

I can't make up my mind. Got any suggestions?

Ah, sadly to say I am damn good with a remote, but would be lost with a musical instrument. mad Love music but I will have to be satisfied with just enjoying the work of others! smile

I would say to get yourself a good used acoustic guitar and a good book on the guitar from the library. The point here is to gauge you interest without spending a lot of money while learning a new activity which engages your mind in new ways. Look at how sharp these old musicians are compared to the old dudes who sit around watching the television.

I used to attribute the drugs to preserving the Stones but I think it's the fact that they play instruments. Keith Richards ain't watching TV!

True about the old guys. When I see bands play at clubs and festivals, I've noticed that I spend a lot of time watching the guitarists and drummers.

Eh, by the way, you NEVER watch television?
If not, what drew you to this discussion?
Just asking.
