David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. This year's Globes: Entertainment or news?
Since the announcement of the Golden Globe winners will fall this year under the auspices of NBC News, why do West Coast viewers have to wait until 9 p.m. for it when it’s being made at 6 p.m.? Isn’t this being posited as a breaking news story, and isn’t NBC News in the business of presenting breaking news in a timely fashion?
“News” like this will be old at that point: Anyone who still cares about the Globes will have found the winners on the Internets by 9 p.m. It’s not like this will have much in the way of entertainment value as awards shows ostensibly do. Yet more strike-related confusion from NBC, desperate to fill its primetime hours with something, anything.

Geez, just pay them already.
