CHURCHES AND PUBLIC RELATIONS: THE MISSING LINK
Speaking of ABC, Nashville TV reporter Jamey Tucker watches the "Faith and Ethics" beat for News2, the city's ABC-affiliate. In his recent blog entry, "CHURCHES AND PUBLIC RELATIONS: THE MISSING LINK, Tucker lamented to difficulty of giving church programs good press when they refuse it. (The irony? His lead is usually a press release sent out by the church in the first place.)

ONE FOR THE BOOKS
And on The Disney Channel, Mediaweek column "The Programming Insider" reports the cable net broke a record with the debut of live-action comedy "Hannah Montana," starring Miley Cyrus and daddy Billy Ray Cyrus. The episode, which aired on The Disney Channel last Friday (March 24), lifted the cable net to its highest ratings for a series to-date. Among all basic cable telecasts for the day, Hannah Montana ranked No. 2 overall in "households, kids 2-11 (12.0 rating / 2.34 million viewers) and tweens 9-14."
(When they start throwing in demographic data, we're not completely sure what it means -- but it sounds important.)
