A few days ago, we thought the Yankees were out of it. They proved us wrong last night. And although it looks like it won't be a "Hollywood" ending for BroadwayOnline.com, there still is hope. Clear Channel has been rumored to be the white knight to save the financially troubled Broadway Television Network, owner of BroadwayOnline.com. Other pieces of information that have made its way back to us: only the part-timers/freelancers were let go on Sunday. BroadwayOnline is still fielding a full staff in the office until Oct 31. BTN has consolidated on to one floor and rented its extra space on 44th/8th to a displaced company who was affected by the WTC disaster. Also of note, the management is trying to preserve the assets of the corporation (news and photo archive) through either a host or a sale of them. Most importantly we as a community need to make sure that the talent that created BroadwayOnline stays in the theatre community. We cannot afford to lose people like Norma Grossman, Michael Buckley, Jessica Browner, Peter Filichia, Sean Patrick Flahaven, Tom Lynch and Robert Viagas to another industry.

We hear that a certain Broadway producer was not happy with Broadway.com because the online news source scooped the producer on his own project. The producer, who can often be seen near Carnegie Hall, wanted to have a big press conference for his show's plans, and read it first on Broadway.com... I guess you can't have it both ways.
