LASTEST NEW Re; CREW/ STAFF "Lay offs" There is truth that some staff members have stayed on and were promised to continue to be paid (when ever that would happen). So it is true that "some" staffers have continued to come in and work in the offices during this "dark/hiatis" time.
FACT:The most remaining people in charge of production (The key people) have been LAID OFF! This news just in! I believe it was last night. This is now in addition to the tech/camera/sound/lights/art and other production people who were told "hiatis" last week.
FACT: There has been nothing done with the studio sets. They are as they were on last Thursday at darkness time.
FACT:Still no payment to the staff/crew.
Some people stayed on in an honest effort to "retool" as the network has PR'd. Those people believed the hype not the financial facts.
I believe "put a fork in it...it's done" However could someone buy Frank Out? That would be good if the network could continue its positive role without Frank at the Helm.
Could someone else bring some trust back into the "financial "side?
