FADE IN: INT. ABC NETWORK COMMAND CENTER - NIGHT The ABC executives are gathered around the conference table. They are discussing the upcoming broadcast schedule for the week. EXECUTIVE 1 Okay team, we have a bit of a dilemma for next week. The World Series is scheduled for the same night as a Nevada football game. EXECUTIVE 2 What are our options? EXECUTIVE 3 We could move the football game to another night. EXECUTIVE 1 That won't work because of other scheduling conflicts. EXECUTIVE 4 We could show both events simultaneously on different channels. EXECUTIVE 2 That's also not an option because it would split our viewership. EXECUTIVE 1 Here's what I propose, we prioritize the local Nevada market and show the football game on ABC. We'll air the World Series on ESPN and our other networks. EXECUTIVE 3 But won't that upset the baseball fans? EXECUTIVE 1 It might, but our research team tells us that the football game will have higher ratings in the Nevada market. Plus, we're a business and we have to make decisions based on our bottom line. EXECUTIVE 4 Okay then, let's make the announcement and prepare for both events. FADE OUT.
