TV Guide, I'm guessing, didn't want to pick up its ex-employee's report, so they just waited until the offiicial announcement from CBS.

The end of the podcast was the beginning of the end of TV Guide as a source for TV information. Will the last one out turn off the lights... I agree with the consensus.

Even though I coincidentally just posted a video of Jennie Garth, I too am not a huge fan and think web sites in general have gone completely overboard on producing video. That said, a podcast is something you can listen to you while in your car or walking the dog - two things I spend an inordinate amount of time doing. More importantly. The podcast really gives you a window into the personality behind the writers and in the case of TVGuide, was invaluable in building their brand online. Nick

I'm very busy and like to QUICKLY scan thru items of interest, not have to sit thru a 5-minute interview, which may or may not contain anything worthwhile. Kristin on E!, in particular, has just gone off the deep end with the v-cast interviews. Who has time to sit thru all those things? C'mon, do some actual "reporting," and break it down for those of us who don't need the fluff. Ausiello thinks he's some sort of video star now, because there's much more of his stupid antics than actual scoop in his weekly video. How about we just leave video for the TV, and put your mind & fingers to good use in jotting down some actual news online, okay? Call me a rebel, but I’m not into podcast and vodcasts at all.

Why wouldn't TV Guide make mention of this? If CNN reports something, does USA Today ignore it? No way. Sure, it could have been a little sooner, but once it's not exclusive, it's done, and this isn't exactly a big story (and I love HIMYM).

TV Guide is going downhill fast, I don't even visit them anymore unless I need concrete information on something like a schedule for the fall. Cutting the podcast was a bad idea too. It really just fell apart after Ausiello left. They have nothing to report that hasn't already been reported over at Ausiello or Kristin. I completely agree.
