W2W this wknd: changes to the newsletter, NBA Finals

The newsletter and blog will be changing a little due to the demands of a new job. I still plan to do the newsletter each week with a roundup and quick explanation of the week's news. I also plan to keep blogging, but a little less frequently. On to the weekly newsletter. Now that it's summer there won't be much going on with TV until the fall, but there are a lot of great sporting events this weekend that are available to watch without cable. Have a great weekend!

News

Apple's developer conference came and went without a single mention of a new Apple TV or streaming service. I expect them to announce new hardware whenever they complete negotiations with content providers for a new TV service, hopefully by the iPhone event early this fall.
