Hollywood news banter

Matt Belloni, editorial director of the Hollywood Reporter, joins guest host Michael Schneider to discuss top entertainment news stories of the week.

• Now that Bill O’Reilly is officially out at Fox News, what does this mean for the future of the Murdoch empire?

• Members of the WGA have started to gather in the lead-up to the strike authorization vote. If they authorize a strike, they only have about a week before their contract is up on May 1. If they can’t come to an agreement with the studios, a strike could begin as soon as May 2, or they may come to a tolling agreement that would push the strike until after the network upfronts in mid-May.
