CBS fires marketing chief

I hate reading the media news and seeing another person I admire on the firing line, but it happened again this morning. CBS in Chicago fired their marketing VP Jim Corboy.

I've worked with Jim many times over the years (when he was with the Tribune and NBC and I was a producer with Steve & Garry and Landecker), and he was always helpful and professional. I can't tell you how many times he helped me track down a potential celebrity guest.

I'm sure he'll land on his feet--although this sure is a difficult time to do so.
