Yes, It's True (And What It Means for Televisionary)

If you follow me on Twitter, then you likely saw my news on Friday afternoon: my new role is that of TV Columnist for The Daily Beast.

Longtime visitors to this site know that I've been writing features for The Daily Beast for well over a year now, but my relationship with Tina Brown's site has been on a freelance basis. Roughly a month ago, I entered into a new relationship with the news and entertainment site that solidifies my position there and shifts things into a far less transient arrangement. And while the paperwork has taken quite some time to finish, I can now officially announce my new gig.

So what does that mean for Televisionary? In terms of the big picture, absolutely nothing at the moment. I've been juggling this and my freelance pieces for well over a year now. In terms of the small picture, it might mean some changes in terms of content and what I choose to write about here.

Why am I telling you this? Because I don't want you think that I won't be writing in-depth advance reviews or select episodic reviews anymore. (I will be, I promise.) And I'll also be writing short-form breaking news here as well, when time permits. But I'm also curious to know what you want this site to be and what sort of content you think it should contain in order to balance the longer reported pieces, interviews, and critical essays that I'm doing for The Daily Beast.

I do want to know whether you like (and miss) recurring features like Channel Surfing, in which I recapped the morning's television-related news each day. (I read the trades so you didn't have to.) Or whether you use--or even realize that it's there--the TV listings on the right-hand side of the page.

What are your favorite elements of the site? And your least favorite? What do you want to see more of? Or less of? Head to the comments section or drop me an email and let me know your answers to the above. With additional commitments come some more deft juggling of available time, I want to be able to prioritize and see whether we agree about what's most valuable.

Thanks for reading the past four and a half years and here's to the next adventure, both here at Televisionary and at The Daily Beast.
