| As The World Churns, Urban Exposé Returns... |
 |
As we approach the Autumnal equinox we find thoughts turning to school and work. Protractors, compasses and index cards dance in our head. It’s time to reflect on the hedonistic summer that was and begin to somberly accept that it’s time to buckle down and go back to work. Incidentally, reports of our death were greatly exaggerated. With aplomb, we return to the art of the exposé.

| Tears Of A Clown: Smiley Makes Execs Frown |
 |
Tavis Smiley has been removed as the host of BET Tonight. The first word that his contract would not be renewed came in the form of a four-line fax to his office. After word circulated that Smiley would remain at his post until his contract expired, Robert Johnson announced that he would be terminated immediately. To handle the guaranteed neck-snapping backlash, BET CEO Robert L. Johnson will field calls from viewers March 26. Most likely, Johnson will tell the world that Smiley's ratings were falling, a condition likely caused by BET's not-so-subtle transition to being the Black MTV. In the process, BET Tonight's demographic has been lost in the shuffle.

| What is UBO? Ask Adam Kidron - We Still Don't Know. |
 |
Urban Box Office is a network of content-heavy niche market websites with weak long-range growth, community, and e-commerce options that have very little synergy between disparate properties. Robert Metcalf's Law says: "The value of the network, how much it can do, is the square of the number of connected machines". If that's the case UBO isn't worth jack.

| 88hiphop On The Highway To Heaven. |
 |
Randy Nkonoki-Ward and Mark Kotlinski started 88hiphop on a 900 number. They found the ultimate partner in Pseudo. For a 50 percent stake in 88hiphop, Randy and Mark now drew 6 figure salaries, access to a studio, web servers to stream content, and a staff to control. The possibilities seemed endless after some key successes and the deep pockets of Pseudo backing it up. All things are not as they seem, as the well eventually ran dry.

| Isn't That Nice? AKA Blames Adam Kidron and UBO for Its Demise. |
 |
AKA dumped the rest of their staff on Friday. Instead of blaming their own inability to attract advertisers, they blame Adam Kidron. UBO was inept enough to agree to give a dying music site network millions of dollars to run ads for their own underdeveloped properties. The fall of the UBO behemoth will have a domino effect for several ad networks that relied on revenue from UBO to keep them aloft. You know, bla-bla bla.

| Adam Kidron and UBO Plans new Additions to its Empty House of Straw |
|
Of late, the trickle of information coming out of UBO has developed into a torrent, exposing the inner workings, or lack thereof no pun intended, of UBO. From the technical specification for the planned e-commerce operation to the future structure of its centralized business development group, information about future additions to the UBO network is more riveting then the final scene of Quilumbo de Palmeres.

| The Illustrated Guide To The Fall Of Blaze |
 |
Once upon a time, back when Russell Simmons still made rap records; the music industry was abuzz with anticipation for Vibe's spin-off magazine Blaze. The competition was shook…until the first issue came out. To mark what would have been the two-year anniversary of the Hindenblaze, we present a crash course on how to avoid fumbling a platinum opportunity: Oh, the humanity.
