Layoffs loom at NBC
(see entire article-if this works at: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003285113 )
As someone was discussion on a yahoo group I belong to: What does this say about SGA? (NBC Universal runs SciFi (what don't they run?) which runs (ok part of) SGA. I'm not discussion it there because i don't want to hear publicly what other will say to me. And not posted LJ because-well I didn't want to.
Okay back on track. With the $ verus salries. With that-and I have been told and I believe rude to ask what they make (like we would EVER find out!), they make enough not to have to look at the $ on stuff, not to worry (unlike the rest of us but hey fine by me!)-so no the salary thing doesn't play.
Production costs, etc-nah. Heck, whatever SciFi touches EVENTUALLY will go away due to the $ thing-even when they did have some (examples: Farscape, First Wave, IMan, SG-1 (yeah I know there will be movies-not they same in my book and someday BSG-just wait!). SGA could be (it be really nice but we all know that isn't happening) making the hand over fist and they would still ax it if some VP got a bad vibe. I bet SciFi's PTB have yet to see a full finished episode of ANYTHING on the channel.
And being produced in Canada anymore doesn't mean a thing! The exchange rate-phew!! (I am guessing here-last time I checked is was like $1.05-1.10 US to $1.00 Canadian (loonie or is the the $2 coin?).
This news I doubt has any affect on SGA. I more will probably affect new- up comming shows and the news (the article states that!). I just feel bad for all the people-across the board-that will be losing there jobs. At least NBC will not pull what that Candian broadcaster did (sorry I forget whom that was) who just came in one morning and poof! let everyone go. After Radio Shack-any US company better know better.
My feelings on that. Oh and for the lastest "rumors" going around SGA-short of replacing everyone (I've seen that too! EFC (yes it does count and I would get into a BIG thing about that but will do so off blog if you want). I'll still watch. Unless the PTB on SciFi pull-though we gave you a 4th but opps my mistake kind of thing.
I would put it past them. Anyone think of that? Oh and guess there goes one more company NOT to apply with! :)
