Former news talent Jane Pauley is out after just one season;
nesting diva Martha Stewart was out but, now that she has done time
in the slammer, she's back in.
First-run syndication is a cutthroat business.
For those not in the know, "syndication" refers to programming
that is not provided by a network to its TV stations but which is
sold directly to stations. "First-run" syndication is programming
that has been developed specifically for syndication, as opposed to
"off-network" syndication, meaning shows that originally aired on a
network -- like that "Seinfeld" rerun Washingtonians sit through
each Tuesday night waiting for "American Idol" to start.
