Among the reparations ABC received for letting Al Michaels move over to NBC for their new Sunday Night Football franchise (where John Madden will also be in residence, making him one of the few men who's worked for all four major networks doing football - first CBS, then Fox, then ABC, now NBC):
NBC/Universal has given back The Walt Disney Company the rights to Oswald, The Lucky Rabbit.
WHAT? An eighty-year old cartoon character? Yes. Disney lost the rights to Oswald in the late 1920's when Universal installed Walter Lantz as the series' producer. Lantz continued to make Oswald films for years afterward, while Disney created another character - Mickey Mouse.
Now Disney's got Oswald back in its camp. What's Disney gonna do with Oswald? Stay tuned.
