Veteran TV marketing executives Bob Bibb and Lew Goldstein will not be succeeding the CW's marketing chief Rick Haskins who will be leaving the network in August. Despite a published report that Bibb and Godstein, who helped launch Fox and the WB, have been tapped to replace Haskins, I hear that new CW president Mark Pedowitz has yet to start a search for a marketing chief and that Bibb and Goldstein have neither met nor will be meeting for the job. The two most recently ran marketing for Lifetime until their contracts expired a year ago.

Recently, The Film Stage caught up with Morgan Spurlock to discuss his new film Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, now playing. The film examples the role of product placement and advertising in movies. Here is what he had to say:
Is this part of your sponsorship deal, this whole outfit?
What’s funny is that it was all my idea. That’s the thing, as you watch the film, this whole pitch of the suit was my brainstorm, so now these are my own chickens coming home to roost. So yeah, comes with the territory now.
Did you really think that when you started out…
That anyone would give us any money?
…that you’d even think you’d have a film?
Yeah, we had no clue. When we started, we thought it was a great idea, we didn’t know if it was even possible, and...

Bob Bibb and Lew Goldstein are leaving Lifetime, network officials confirmed.
The channel's top marketing officials were brought in three years ago by former chief Andrea Wong, who departed herself earlier this year.
Bibb and Goldstein, who ran the marketing department for the WB network from its 1995 launch, simply did not have their contracts renewed, an official said.
The departure of the two marketing heads unofficially caps the end of the Lifetime era.
The pair's repuation actually dates back to the founding years of the Fox network, where they worked under ...

Exclusive: Bob Bibb and Lew Goldstein are departing Lifetime Networks where they had been co-chief marketing officers since August 2007.

Several cable networks were blessed Sunday night with strong ratings from a range of high-profile shows, including Lifetime Television's "Army Wives".
The female-targeted network recruited 3.5 million total viewers to the premiere of its new 10 p.m. drama series, according to Nielsen Media Research. That figure makes "Wives" the most-watched series premiere in the network's 23-year history and its biggest total-viewer delivery in the time slot since December.
The series, an ensemble drama starring Kim Delaney and Catherine Bell, also won its time slot in the key female demos of 18-49 (1.2 million viewers and a 2.1 rating, Lifetime's highest in the time period in more than three years). Among women 18-34, "Wives" gave Lifetime its biggest rating (1.8, 502,000) in the time period in five years.
"Wives" also built on its lead-in, the two-hour original movie "Write & Wrong," starring Kirstie Alley, which averaged 2.6 million viewers.
Lifetime Networks president of entertainment Susanne Daniels said she was happy about the show's premiere numbers and was quick to praise her staff, producers ABC Television Studio and the Mark Gordon Co. and marketers Bob Bibb and Lewis Goldstein for all their work on the show.
"I'm so excited after two years of hard work," she said. "I had all my fingers and toes crossed (that it would do well)."
Previously, the most-watched series premieres on Lifetime were the dramas "Missing" (3.3 million viewers in 2003) and "The Division" (3.2 million in 2001).
