TV networks now have a full-fledged consumer Internet marketing convention to get out the word on new TV shows, called Comic-Con. The convention that began as a comic book event for regular fans is now a lot more. It's moved way past films and TV about comic book characters.

Start your Murdoch clock: The Wall Street Journal is now in News Corp. camp, and possible business and marketing improvements will ramp up -- but probably not journalistic upgrades.

"Was that a copy of the Wall Street Journal under Simon Cowell's arm while he was walking to an early-run 'Idol' audition?" a TV business reporter might ask next January.
