  • NBC Settles To Catch a Predator Lawsuit | Today's News: Our Take | 6/26/2008

  • Judge Says To Catch a Predator Lawsuit Can Proceed | Today's News: Our Take | 2/27/2008
    A $100 million lawsuit that charges Dateline NBC with causing the suicide of a former Texas prosecutor ensnared in one of its To Catch a Predator investigations is moving forward. A federal judge ruled Tuesday that claims made in the suit filed by Patricia Conradt, the sister of Louis Conradt, can proceed to trial.Conradt, 56, shot himself in November 2006 after he was confronted at his Terrell, Texas, home by police officers accompanying a Dateline crew. Police were attempting to arrest... read more
  • Ask Matt | 12/10/2007
    I am curious about the fate of the once-popular newsmagazine. I remember a time when every network had multiple newsmagazines on the air. CBS had 48 Hours and two versions of 60 Minutes at one time, and NBC used to play Dateline four times a week. Now we only have 20/20, 60 Minutes and the occasional "To Catch a Predator." What happened? Was it simply a shift in people's tastes? Did networks run these shows into the ground? Do you think a prolonged strike will see the reintroduction of shows... read more

  • Has NBC Preyed on Its Last Predator? | TV Guide News Report | 9/5/2007
    Since 2004, Dateline NBC's To Catch a Predator has put an uncomfortable spotlight on men who go online to solicit underage boys and girls for sex. But in recent months, the hidden-camera sting operation has been facing some heat of its own.NBC Universal is being sued by the sister of an assistant county prosecutor from a Dallas suburb who shot himself last November when police and a Dateline crew loomed outside his door with an arrest warrant. The prosecutor, Louis Conradt Jr., was about to be... read more
  • 20/20 Investigation Preys on Dateline's Predator | Today's News: Our Take | 8/16/2007
    Hot off an Esquire article as well as a lawsuit positing that NBC's Chris Hansen-hosted Dateline: To Catch a Predator series went above and beyond the call of journalism in the name of exposing Louis Conradt, a former Murphy, Texas, DA who took his own life as a camera-toting policeman breached his home, ABC's own newsmagazine is getting in on the action. In a rare instance of a program acknowledging the existence of a rival, 20/20 is working on a story about To Catch a Predator's four-day... read more
  • NBC Sued for $105 Mil over Predator Suicide | Today's News: Our Take | 7/24/2007
    The sister of Louis William Conradt, a former U.S. state prosecutor who shot himself upon being approached by policemen doing Dateline: To Catch a Predator's bidding, has sued NBC Universal for $105 million, claiming that producers leaned on cops to target Conradt, and that said lawmen possessed "neither a search warrant nor an arrest warrant" meeting legal standards.As camera-toting officers arrived at Conradt's home last November, "He told them, 'I'm not going to hurt anyone,' and shot... read more

  • Princes William and Harry Uncovered | As If! | 6/19/2007
    Well, slightly uncovered. I settled into my comfy couch last night anticipating a royal masterpiece — Matt Lauer's highly-publicized interview with Princes William and Harry, just before the 10-year anniversary of their mother's still-mysterious death. While the hour was filled with brotherly love, a few jokes and a perspective never given to American television before, it was also less than what I wanted it to be. I supposed I should have expected the commercials leading up to this... read more
  • Lawsuit Turns "To Catch a Predator" Into Prey | Today's News: Our Take | 5/30/2007
    Former Dateline producer Marsha Bartel alleges in a lawsuit filed against NBC that she was axed after blowing the whistle on improper journalistic practices going on behind the scenes at "To Catch a Predator." According to papers obtained by thesmokinggun.com, Bartel suggests that by paying vigilante group Perverted Justice to help with the series, the network has given it a "financial incentive to lie to trick targets of its sting." Further, when she told her boss about controversial comments... read more
  • Dropping Anchor: Dateline Cuts Stone Phillips | Today's News: Our Take | 5/22/2007
    In a cost-cutting move, NBC News will drop Stone Phillips from Dateline when the veteran newsman's contract expires at the end of June. "It's been a wonderful 15 years," Phillips says in a statement cited by the AP. "I'm profoundly appreciative of the many friends and colleagues, past and present, who have been a part of the Dateline family. This is a great news division with a bright future. I wish the people of NBC News all the best."Since Phillips won't be replaced, Ann Curry will continue... read more
  • Upfront Thoughts: NBC | Hein Sight | 5/15/2007
    Here's my quick take on the Fall 2007 primetime schedule that NBC announced earlier today....MONDAY8 pm Deal or No Deal9 pm Heroes10 pm JourneymanMonday has the potential to be NBC's biggest night. DOND is a game show juggernaut. Heroes will have a make or break sophomore season and Heroes: Origins better not be too gimmicky.

  • NBC: Parsing the Peacock's Moves | Roush Dispatch | 5/14/2007
    First, the good news (that we've been cheering since late last week): NBC's Hail Mary reprieve to the low-rated but critically worshipped Friday Night Lights is something to celebrate. True, the move to Fridays is a bit worrisome. Those with long memories will recall the fast fade of a similarly themed high-school football drama, Against the Grain (starring a then-unknown Ben Affleck), which aired on Fridays in 1993. Its failure was largely attributed to being scheduled on a night when much of... read more

  • NBC at Mid-season: Fridays Now on Wednesdays | Roush Dispatch | 11/29/2006
    At long last (about two weeks later than expected), a network has finally firmed up its January mid-season schedule. Makes sense that it happens to be a network with plenty of adjustments to make: in this case, NBC, which had probably the best lineup of new series this fall, but, without any hits to help launch them, has continued to struggle in the ratings (though its numbers are up from a year ago).The biggest surprise (to me) was the decision to keep Aaron Sorkin's increasingly uneven... read more

  • Ratings: Dancing Sure Beats Boogie-ing | Today's News: Our Take | 9/14/2006
    Tuesday's two-hour premiere of Dancing with the Stars' third season was watched by an average of 20 million people, a 19 percent bump from the Season 2 bow and the series' third best ratings ever. As such, Dancing handily bested the 8 o'clock hour's House (watched by 15 million, a 19 percent dip from last week's premiere) and the Big Brother 7: All-Stars finale (8.4 mil), then went on to trump Fox's Standoff (9.3 mil) and CBS' "Rock Star: Your Name Here" (7.1 mil) at 9. ABC's Men in Trees,... read more
