Discovery Communications gives you a say by going public

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 19th 2008 at 12:54PM

Looking to chime in on what kind of programming gets placed on any of Discovery Communications' many networks? No, we mean are you really looking to make an impact? If so, you can put your money where your mouth is now that the firm is listed on the NASDAQ. Yeah, it chose an odd and arguably terrible time in our history to go public, but it also ushered in a new corporate logo and website to fall more in line with that new Discovery HD logo that was unveiled this summer. It's hard to say if going public will have any immediate (and more importantly, visible) impact on programming, but if you're interested in getting involved, all the ticker details and whatnot are listed in the read link.

Well, so much for that. Now they'll have to look more at quarter by quarter profits than long-term. Goodbye coverage of the launch of SpaceShipOne, hello to more reality shows and schlock. Roll in the Z-list celebrities.
