Adam also sent this in: In an article that will be available on newsstands in next week's edition of Business Week, the publications online website has posted an article about the negative trend in ratings in NBC Universal, resulting in the TV Network and its digital and cable stations becoming the weakest chain of the General Electric portfolio. The article looks as the changes that have occured recently to attempt to turn around the network, which is ranking 4th, behind CBS, ABC and Fox in most evenings. The end of the article, which has a great focus on Jeff Zucker, one of the main players right now over at NBC, has a comment from WWE CEO Linda McMahon (which the article mistakingly says is Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment) about how Zucker was able to promise WWE big bucks and the ability to promote in NBC Prime Time.
