Record/Tape/CD Clubs

I ran across an article today on how Columbia House and BMG made money on those record clubs. (http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/91126) This brought back some great memories of getting the 11 free albums in the mail! (Remember, kids, you couldn’t always download music for free!)

The Future And Funding of Entertainment Shows

I just found out that NBC passed on the New Wonder Woman show. https://www.xackphobe.com/2011/02/17/wonder-woman-cast/ I am a bit disappointed, but I thought about how the future and funding of tv shows could go.
