S02E07 Axings, Appointments & Apologies

Summary: What a week it's been for television and the rapidly-shrinking media cycle! Attacks and apologies inside a couple of days, announcements, more failures and failures-to-launch, and some amazing speculation about who is going to run the ABC. It's a special two-fer episode as Rob and Molk take turns at talking through the issues and unloading on what we think are the biggest moments of the week. Lucky you listeners!
