NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — The CW network really needs to succeed in tempting viewers back to watch the first new episodes of its flagship program "Gossip Girl."

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and wonder: What’s Erik Estrada doing these days? Turns out he’s appearing in this BooneOakley commercial for Food Lion’s Bloom stores. The former CHiPs star (he was Ponch, Larry Wilcox was John) complains in the spot that he entered an Erik Estrada look-alike contest and came in second. He could also complain that he only merits eight seconds of screen time in the 30-second spot. At least he can poke a little fun at himself. Unfortunately, it was me who won that same Erik Estrada look-alike contest. And I’ll wear the highway patrol uniform for as long as I feel like it—OK, human resources? Is Bloom really “a different kind of grocery story†that relieves everyday angst? Probably not, but its prices can’t be any worse than Whole Foods. And would it kill them to turn down the Whale Sounds and James Taylor?

Louis Hau, Media Reporter for Forbes, explores an undervalued resource in the newspaper business–the proper monetization of which could be a big help to a struggling industry.
Here’s one of the most perplexing aspects of the newspaper business: Readers love the sports section, but advertisers couldn’t care less.
As the industry struggles to staunch the bloodletting in advertising revenue, the time has come for a second look. The chronically underperforming sports section stands out as an underexploited opportunity to generate dollars.
The picture isn’t pretty at the moment. A quick survey of some major U.S. dailies finds sports an advertising wasteland, save for the occasional sneaker retailer or tire store. Thursday’s New York Times had no advertising at all in its sports section. Okay, there were a couple microscopic car ads on page two. But still.
I’d love to hear from any media buyers in the audience on this topic. The Forbes piece speculates about an all male audience, and laziness on the papers’ part. But I’m not sure about all that. Obviously sports is monetized to no end on TV and online. Why not in the dailies?
