    Michael Bloomberg, Jann Wenner and Anna Wintour - WHO OWNS THE ATTENTION Book 4 - Part 04

    New York and London, 1967 to 2009. Four people discover, separately and by different routes, that the durable asset in media is not the audience and not the content but the name on the thing — and that a name can be rented by the month. Michael Bloomberg leases a box that sits on a trading desk and is never sold. Jann Wenner, Anna Wintour and Felix Dennis each take possession of a printed title and learn what it is worth to the people who want to reach the people who read it. One of these businesses charges the reader everything and the advertiser nothing. Three charge the reader almost nothing and the advertiser everything. All four are the same trade, and by 2009 only one of them still works. Covers Michael Bloomberg, Jann Wenner, Anna Wintour, Felix Dennis, Bloomberg LP, Rolling Stone, Vogue, and Maxim. Narrated with a synthetic voice.

    Louis B. Mayer, Lucille Ball and Johnny Carson - WHO OWNS THE ATTENTION Book 3 - Part 04

    Haverhill, Culver City, Hollywood and Burbank, 1904 to 1995. A scrap-metal dealer's son buys a condemned burlesque house in a Massachusetts shoe town and ends up running the studio with more stars than there are in heaven, holding every one of them on a seven-year paper he can extend at will. Then the paper comes apart. An actress and her husband keep the negatives of their own television show; a Nebraska magician's son takes his late-night hour off the network's books and onto his own; and five men who quit a talent agency on one afternoon in 1975 discover that whoever assembles the picture, rather than whoever finances it, sets the price. The performer stops being inventory and becomes a counterparty. Covers Louis B. Mayer, Lucille Ball, Johnny Carson, Michael Ovitz, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and NBC. Narrated with a synthetic voice.
