I haven't bothered reading the paper yet but I have met Mr. Winzenberg on a couple of occasions. He teaches at a very small college here in town and, when I dealt with him, he also hosted a weekend radio show on WHO-AM (the former home of Ronnie Reagan). Our interaction was around the time of The Beatles' Anthology project, I was writer and editor for a Beatles video collector's newsletter and his most memorable question to me was "what are they really like?" - as if I was a personal friend of theirs.

Robert Thompson likely has nothing to worry about from this guy. I really don't recommend that anybody read that paper. A small part of it is his breaking shows down according how much is spent on scripted and unscripted segments. Then he goes show by show and gives his opinions about the hosts. His opinions about the hosts have nothing to do with the numerical analysis, and when I read it, I thought it was a project done by a very young grad (or even undergrad) student and not a communications professor. As an academic publishing a paper, he should at least have gotten in touch with some producers and asked them why they chose to structure their shows the way they do. This was a very poor effort and is of almost no value - the only value is the chart with the numbers. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
