If you do a search you will find that although GMA does not PAY for the interviews, they do pay a "licsensing fee" to the interviewee for the rights to air and publish the interview. ALL the networks do this, also, hotels, transportation, meals and many other "perks" so in reality, they ARE paying for the interveiw, only in a round about way

thank you for that very informative post, wowee.

so, really NBC isn't doing anything different.

Most guests are promoting their book, movie, TV show or charity. They are being paid by getting the publicity. Most 24 hour cable news shows have regular guest panelists who are paid and represent the viewpoints of themselves and/or the network.

I just heard this morning that NBC is telling stars if they want to appear on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, they cannot appear on any other network's late-night shows. Really NBC???

So Comcast is buying Time Warner and already owns Universal NBC....... If you're told not to do something and your job depends on the media...hmmm

it isn't verified that is happening. Just some ""sources"" say that.

good grief. Why don't those sources tell people who they are? TMZ is basically a gossip rag anyway.

I love ironic wit and when people are just being factitious!
