Bold moves in Big Media: Wallstrip and CBS
By Tim.
Today’s Wallstrip makes it official: CBS has acquired the online show, and signed producers Jeff Marks and Adam Elend to a two-year deal to executive produce online content for the network on the web, as well as star Lindsay Campbell to continue to host the show.

Pairing them with Quincy Smith and his very smart moves at CBS’s interactive division is a masterstroke, and I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of great things from them, as well as how they look in their new CBS blazers.
