KEY BLOCK----- By Brian Stelter and the CNNMoney Media team - [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) ** ABC says sorry ------------------------------------------------------------ Kelly Ripa might make jokes about her dispute with ABC when she's back on "Live" Tuesday morning. But make no mistake: She was seriously aggrieved by last week's bungled announcement that Michael Strahan is moving to "GMA." ABC's top execs -- Ben Sherwood, Rebecca Campbell, James Goldston -- apologized to both co-hosts, I reported this evening. (http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/25/media/kelly-ripa-abc-apology/index.html?mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) The bosses recognize that their plan "misfired." But they've taken responsibility and believe the show is now back on track. Campbell, the head of ABC's stations group, flew in from Burbank to work with the producers on Tuesday's show. Read the full behind-the-scenes story here... (http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/25/media/kelly-ripa-abc-apology/index.html?mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) ** "It's all about respect" ------------------------------------------------------------ Deborah Norville, who knows a lot about how TV execs treat female talent, told Brooke Baldwin today that Ripa's takeaway from last week was, "I'm not as valuable as I thought I was." And that stings. "It's all about respect," Norville said. "When you treat people with respect, it always augurs back to you in a positive way." -- The Q with an unknowable answer: How much will ABC have to pay Ripa to make her feel valuable and respected? $25 million? -- CNN contrib Mary Katherine Ham writes: (http://thefederalist.com/2016/04/25/kelly-ripas-right-to-be-mad-in-this-feud-of-fluffy-morning-hosts/?mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) "Ripa has a right to be angry..." -- I spoke with Time's Eliana Dockterman forthis story: "What Kelly Ripa’s Situation Reveals About TV and Women Stars (http://time.com/4304417/kelly-ripa-ann-curry-women-tv-stars/?mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) At least 5 stories could be our lead story tonight. It's that kind of day. Keep scrolling... ** Can Tribune resist Gannett? ------------------------------------------------------------ The answer is no, probably not. But tonight there's no new word from Tribune Publishing about Gannett's takeover bid. This morning Gannett CEO Robert Dickey went public with his bid to pay roughly $815 million in cash, at $12.25 a share, a 63% premium based on Tribune's closing price of $7.52 last Friday. The stock jumped up to $11.50 on the news. TribPub chair Michael Ferro and CEO Justin Dearborn -- both brand new in their jobs -- say they need time to closely examine the proposal. Here's our story... (http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/25/media/gannett-tribune/index.html?iid=Lead&mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) ** A few questions ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Is TribPub's resistance futile? Ken Doctor says you should expect a deal to get done: "Ferro doesn’t want to sell, but stalling a sit-down with Dickey also serves the tactical ability to increase the price," he notes...

Maybe Apollo Global Management? As for News Corp, a sourcetells the WSJ (http://www.wsj.com/articles/gannett-offers-to-buy-tribune-publishing-1461584759?mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) says that its parent, "which previously has expressed interest in the L.A.

The Megyn Kelly-Donald Trump rematch is set: Their interview will air during Kelly's May 17 prime time special on the Fox broadcast network. The special is on at 8pm (cc: Bill O'Reilly 😉 ) "I look forward to a fascinating exchange -- our first sit-down interview together in nearly a year," Kelly says. Here's Dylan's full story... (http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/25/media/megyn-kelly-donald-trump/index.html?iid=hp-toplead-dom&mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) -- Note: Big chunks of the interview will be saved for her Fox News show on May 18... -- Snark via (https://twitter.com/danisett?mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) Dan Isett: "Thank goodness. I was starting to worry that I'd never see a Trump interview on Fox." ** Mike Tirico leaving ESPN after 25 years ------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Tirico, one of the pillars of ESPN since 1991, is moving to NBC, Frank Pallotta reports. (http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/25/media/mike-tirico-espn-monday-night-football-nbc/index.html?iid=SF_LN&mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) John Ourand of Sports Business Daily broke the news that Tirico will be the play-by-play commentator for NBC's five "Thursday Night Football" games. He will surely have other roles, too. Richard Deitsch tweets (http://twitter.com/richarddeitsch/?mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) his guess that Tirico "is your next Olympic primetime host after Costas...." -- Frank notes: (http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/25/media/mike-tirico-espn-monday-night-football-nbc/index.html?iid=SF_LN&mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) You can add Tirico's name to a list of recent ESPN departees that also includes Keith Olbermann, Bill Simmons, and Colin Cowherd... ** ONLY ONE MORE MONTH OF "TIME WARNER CABLE?" ------------------------------------------------------------ ** Charter finally nearing the finish line ------------------------------------------------------------ Charter's purchase of Time Warner Cable and Bright House could take effect in mid-to-late May. That's the latest word, now that the Justice Department has approved the deal and FCC chairman Tom Wheeler has recommended approval. There are conditions, as expected, to prevent Charter from putting data caps in place or charging customers based on usage for a seven-year period. -- Next steps: A full FCC vote (a formality in this case) and a vote by CA's Public Utilities Commission on May 12. Here's my story with Hope King...

(http://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2016/04/24/local-perspectives-on-md-and-pa-primaries.cnn?mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) He said local stations in MD were not expecting all the presidential campaign ad $$$s that have arrived in recent days, ahead of Tuesday's Mid-Atlantic primaries. And in Baltimore, there's been a ton of spending on the mayoral race as well, much of it on TV ads but some of it on pamphleteering: "For all the talk about digital democracy and social media," Zurawik said, printed flyers have been profoundly effective. "Attack flyers" are cheap and "you can say stuff you wouldn't say on television. You can sort of go under the wire." Election tactics right out of the 1800s, still working in the 2010s... ** Trump on the cover of Vanity Fair! Sorta ------------------------------------------------------------ Last November Donald Trump tweeted: "Vanity Fair Magazine is doing really poorly. It has gotten worse and worse over the year, and has lost almost all of it's former allure!" So Graydon Carter turned the insult into a reason to check out his magazine. Trump's tweet is on the cover of the May issue, right next to Amy Schumer's armpit. Here's my story about it... (http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/25/media/vanity-fair-donald-trump/index.html?iid=SF_LN&mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) ** Zucker talks Trump (and Vice) ------------------------------------------------------------ CNN boss Jeff Zucker's recent interview with The Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/apr/24/cnn-jeff-zucker-donald-trump-vice?dg&mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) gained a lot of online attention today. This quote, disputing the idea that cable news coverage is to "blame" for Trump, stood out to me: "The critics of Donald Trump are looking for people to blame for his rise. There are many people who are either surprised by his strength, or don’t like him, and want to blame someone to explain why he has been this popular." -- WashPost's (https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2016/04/25/cnn-boss-jeff-zucker-says-his-people-are-holding-trumps-feet-to-the-fire/?dg&mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) Erik Wemple responded (https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2016/04/25/cnn-boss-jeff-zucker-says-his-people-are-holding-trumps-feet-to-the-fire/?dg&mc_cid=35dcd31577&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) to Zucker's comments about CNN TV going "deeper" on a couple big stories while covering the rest of the day's news online: Sometimes the treatment is not "deeper," Wemple says, it's just "repetitive..."

"I think Vice is vastly overrated... What Vice has done well is tell its story, but it hasn’t delivered on what it says it does." Here's the context...

Yes, NBC announced this morning that "SNL" will reduce its commercial load by 30% next season. This means two fewer commercial pods per episode. But at the same time, it'll add new forms of sponsored content from advertising partners. More from Frank here...
