Message: MAYA & MARTY IN MANHATTAN is booked on Tuesday 5/31 - 6/21, 7/5 and 7/12.

From Wikipedia:

 The show would effectively be a continuation of Rudolph's one-time variety special entitled The Maya Rudolph Show which aired on the same network on May 19, 2014.[2] The series is network's second attempt airing a variety show after Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris was cancelled after one season during the same television season.[3]


 I'll be blending PAVs from the OTO from the May 2014 Sweep with a BTE in Nov 15 for the episodes after the premiere.  The premiere will use Maya's Special alone, which gives younger demos..  my thoughts are the audience will age as the series goes on.

The Heart of OneDomain

Several of the most important people in my career were terminated by WideOrbit today.

Edit: And the lion's heart of ODI, Greg Calhoun, died Wednesday, March 9th, 2016.

As one of the first employees of Tapscan in 1984, I had known Greg for decades, and I'll miss him.
