– Cynopsis reports, “The disappointing Bud.tv may “fade away” later this year, admitted Anheuser-Busch CEO August Busch IV in a conference call to analysts” and “Rupert Murdoch’s bid to acquire the Dow Jones & Co., which includes The Wall Street Journal, Barrons and the Dow Jones Newswires, isn’t looking too promising.”

– The Internet Advertising Bureau and PriceWaterhouseCooper report online ad revenue increased 35 percent in 2006 to $16.9 billion.

– Havas’ MPG is certainly grinning over its recent $740 million Sear media account win. Unfortunately former media agency, Carat, is grinning an entirely different grin.

This is just not all that much fun but hey, you have to sell office cooling systems somehow.
