Desperate Sign

(From The New York Post/Page Six)

NBC is rubbing its ratings in ABC's face.

The Peacock Network hung a huge banner across from
ABC headquarters on West 67th Street to crow that it's
No. 1 in the morning and evening with the TODAY show and
NIGHTLY NEWS WITH BRIAN WILLIAMS.


An ABC insider sniffed, "Maybe if they spent that money on the staff they've been firing as opposed to some sophomoric stunt, they'd be in better shape. We didn't realize that layoffs of 700 people and billboards were part of their strategy."

An NBC source shrugged, "It's another place in the city that became available to advertise."
