Trade Round-Up: Robbing Rerun Peter To Pay Streaming Paul

[Ed.note—The trades aren't publishing today, but we're going to scrape up some links from their websites anyway, just out of habit.] · Networks may be screwing TV's "golden goose" by pushing streaming online versions of their primetime shows, eroding viewership for the "free programming" offered by traditional, totally annoying reruns. [Variety]
· ABC concedes Thursday night to CBS by offering only reruns against the Eye's all-original line-up. The Office and 30 Rock finally return for NBC, but the network finishes fourth on the night. [THR]
· A look back on each network's midseason shows finds that most of the late-launching series are—not to put too fine a point on it—pieces of crap that weren't good enough to make the fall schedule. [Variety]
· Var's Peter Bart compares the "melodrama" of the imminent Tribune sale to Viacom's clusterfucky acquisition of DreamWorks. [Variety]
