LIKE YOUR KIND Following is an excerpt of a July 8 blog from Kurt Sutter, creator of FX's Sons of Anarchy, reacting to his show's lack of Emmy nominations: Let's face it, kids, we are the dirty-faced outlaws who no one wants in their clean white town. We are too loud, too violent, too brash. We don't sing, have pretty sets, or wear retro suits. They admire us from afar, wish they could do what we do, then they pull the shades and settle for the familiar and safe. They are lazy sheep. Click here to read the full blog on SutterInk. . |

MacDonald talked to B&C's Paige Albiniak about what's driving the market and off-net syndication's next big thing. An edited transcript of the interview follows. |
