American Idol. Period.
Need I say more? News Corporation (NYSE: NWS) and its Fox Broadcasting division are in one
word powerful, and in one phrase, “The Most Powerful Name in News” (which is one
of the slogans for the multi media behemoth). |

For decades, American television broadcasting power has been monopolized by what are often
referred to by the media as the big-three television networks. But with well over

networks. Fox Television Network is now making its presence known in this very global age
of technology and information. In an age where content and delivery systems are paramount,
Fox is present in almost every sector and format. |

Mr. Wilson did not have to say much of anything twice to make things happen, well that was
the way it was with me and my team scheduling the interview with him. |

You see as an Arkansas based television and radio producer, there was not much that I
would not do if Mr. Wilson or his assistant were to request this or that. As I have said
before when reporting to you on my experiences interviewing high powered business
executives such as when I was granted an unprecedented chance to meet, engage and
interview Mr. H. Lee Scott in 2006. In my article titled, “Interacting

Stores, Inc., I reported to you my experience leading up to and subsequently resulting
