It's 6:30 - and i'm 45 min away from a jet blueish flight to Vegas. Yes - once again - Vegas (for those of you who may wonder, i don't gamble - and i don't have a second family there as my son suggested last night).

But it won't be the same Vegas as the CES vegas.

This is NATPE (the National Asssociation of Television Program Executives) confab.

At one point in my career it was THE show of the year. It was a big dot com show in 98,99,2000 - then poof... no dot com. So i skipped the past 4 years (as the show struggled to figure out what it wanted to be.)

But now it's back - and i'm going back. To see friends, talk about program ideas, and see where the whole convergence thing is going.

Broadcasting And Cable magazine had a nice piece in this weeks issues about my NATPE plans - LINK and that's a bunch of what i'm up to.

But it's also a great place to get a vibe about where the content business is heading... so i'm heading out.
