Announcement #2437: CBS in talks with Google on video search

Yet another announcement for the day:

“We’re talking to them about a whole slew of things including video-on-demand, including video search,” Moonves told Reuters in an interview regarding Google, ahead of Reuters’s Media and Advertising Summit next week.

Now these guys are just grasping at straws. “We’re talking to them about a whole slew of things” is Hollywood code-speak for “we have no fucking clue what’s going on but I want to make sure I’m not fired first.”

You think that these PR people would realize that a short 3-day Thanksgiving week is not exactly the time to do all these earth-shattering TV-Internet alliance announcements. By next week we’ll have all forgotten about it and they’ll have to whip up a whole new campaign for our attention.
