Yeah, "talent" was probably too strong a word.

They make choices. The talent doesn't get to decide. Their job is to do the show, not manage programming.

He is a friend of flashpoints. The point is the program director does not and should not get to make decisions for programs. Each program should maintain its editorial autonomy from management. I Just heard from flahpoints that management has backed down on this one. Joe w.

Apart from being an intrusion upon the editorial preprogative of Flashpoints, it puts Flashpoints on a collision course with a respected colleague of theirs and completely ignores whatever plans Flashpoints may have had in place for Dennis' absence. At this point I am merely informing the LSB of the basic facts as I understand them. More to follow later, but I would be interested to hear from my collegues and from the interim management in the meantime.
