David Carr Gets a Phone Call From Nikki Finke

The most noteworthy element in David Carr’s summary of the latest Sharon Waxman–Nikki Finke coup de guerre is his claim that Finke’s contract does not, as reported elsewhere, allow her to opt out starting this month. Rather, the New York Times media columnist says Finke’s obligations to PMC run through 2016 and that it is only next year, 2014, that an opt-out clause can be exercised.
