“I don't know why people think that somehow the First Amendment applies to network television. It doesn't. It's like the way free speech doesn't apply at work. You can't just walk into your boss' office and say 'you're a fuckface and I'm gonna go back to work now.' No, you're not.”
Jon Stewart
“They say 40 percent of the revenue from network television is on Thursday night, so we're talking about hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions at stake, ... Not to be accused of being cruel here, but `Joey' is down 59 percent from `Friends' in [advertiser-coveted viewers ages] 18-to-49. . . . 59 percent. OK?”
Leslie Moonves
“People can say whatever they want to say, but the facts speak for themselves, ... When it comes to network television, baseball is the No. 2 sport.”
Tim Brosnan
“It's the loneliest night of the week for network television and television in general.”
Mitch Metcalf
“Network television is not interested in civil rights; they're interested in making money. If things that will generate money are diverse in any way, so be it, but if not, they'll go in the other direction.”
Todd Boyd
“For everybody who does what I do, you hope you have life beyond network television, and DVD provides that. It's television's equivalent of immortality: You get to stay on retail shelves and in home libraries.”
