Tele-blindness

"Another day at RNT headquarters. Brian Havik, head of programming, heads in. There's been a meeting called over the planned transmission of a program who's biggest star [name withheld upon request] was recently found to have said things on Twitter that might have devastating effects on the company as a whole."

INT: RNT HQ MEETING ROOM J.

Havik: Ok, so what's the plan here?

Ian Melrose (channel controller for RNT One): I say just air the damn thing.

Stevie Naylor (head of diversity at RNT): I don't agree with that - his opinions are really against what the corporation stands for!

Melrose: Who cares what we stand for? We make TV, we air it. We have no say in what the star does in his spare time.

Havik: I can see your point, Ian, but what I suggest is-

Naylor: What I suggest is that we get someone more qualified in so he can see that we really need to have this taken off air!

Havik: Quite. Anyways, what I was saying was that we do something else - we put the show online instead.

Naylor/Melrose: Huh?

Havik: It's quite simple - we have the RNT Player and the program's already finished; just put it online and that way, we take a hit on the online and not on the channel side of things.

Melrose: I like it! Seems like a good way to get everyone what they want.

Naylor: ...I guess it's alright.

Havik: Ok, good job, team. I'll go tell playout that they've got slots to empty and fill. John will be so pissed at me... (walks out)

Melrose: (yells) Isn't he always like that with a schedule change, though?

[beat]

Melrose (to Naylor): Isn't he?

Naylor shrugs.
