From KCRW in Santa Monica and KCRW.com, I'm Kim Masters, and this is the business.

You listen, if you listen and learn, then you're going to be able to do anything you want next time.

Everybody takes his business, really, really, all white life.

This week on the business, network TV scheduling turns into a brutal game of musical chairs.

Oh, I'm afraid he's gone to Hollywood.

I'm joined in the studio by the business producer, Matt Holzman.
