Wow...given the state of the TV industry right now, that's a job description that has "permanent migraine" written all over it.

I wasn't aware there was so much programming about lead to warrant its own programming group. Must by on Bravo or some other channel I don't watch much.

There are always renewals and talks for new channels going on all the time. You just don't hear of much because 99% of the renewals are completed without issue.

Those guys are busy year around.
