BREAKING NEWS: Ashley Greene Fired by Mister X

[Proxio]

CHICAGO, IL - We have some news that RTN has made a huge decision before the season starts as their CEO Ashley Greene has been fired before she could even get through her first full day of work during the regular season as CEO. Ashley Greene has been with RTN since the 2016 draft back in August a day before training camp that year. With NITRO being suspended she has never been the CEO during a whole day of the regular season. RTN Co-Owner Mister X made the decision from above after criticism of RTN's schedule looking weaker than expected.

Mister X has been fielding emails from various stars from RTN about the schedule. Mister X started swapping emails with Ashley Greene who is not changing the schedule. Mister X has just fired Ashley Greene and currently has security removing her from the RTN office. Lisa McCune who has been with RTN since day one has been appointed to fix the schedule immediately. A full time replacement will be announced when Mister X decides a worthy candidate has stepped up.

This is now Lisa McCune third run as interim CEO as she was RTN's very first CEO when they started out in late October 2013 then Neve Campbell took over immediately afterwards. Then when Denise Richards got jumped at the United Center after a MMA event by the Sallies gang, Lisa would take over until NITRO was suspended back on Tuesday November 26, 2013.

Lisa McCune has always been there for Mister X and has been Mister X's right hand man so it's no surprise that this change was made and the timing of it. Lisa McCune got to changing the schedule for the fall immediately making some moves with their pilots and other shows.

Ashley Greene was already known previously for ruining ROD's network and setting that studio back so it's no surprise that RTN wanted to limit the damage that could be done by Ash.

As of right now Ashley Greene spoke to a few reports on the way out and she says she's gonna leave NITRO for a little while and may comeback in the future. Ashley Greene admitted that she was upset by the move but was more upset that she wouldn't be able to cash in as owner so it's likely this might be Ashley's last run as a NITRO CEO ever. She'll either take a lower position when she comes back, focus back on acting, or just look to buy somebody's shares as an owner. She'll definitely be on the free agent list of top executives for next season but Ashley will disappear like Jessica Lowndes for now.

Now the question turns to with RTN making changes to their schedule how things play out in the ratings for them as studios are panicking a little bit over not wanting to finish in 3rd or 4th place, who will takeover for Lisa later this season to become CEO. Neve Campbell whose still with RTN's name has come up but RTN may decide to find a fresh new face as the other CEOs are younger and now Paige Van Buren over at ICE has set the bar real low being NITRO's first ever teenage CEO. A lot of people think that one of their draft picks from the past 3 drafts could be ready to takeover sometime before either Battle of the Network Stars premiere on October 17th or November Sweeps a couple of weeks after that.

Stephen A. Smith says RTN will think about it either way or they may put somebody in to bridge the rest of the season while they wait for the summer to get their main CEO in here but he says it could be in the next few weeks and they don't wait until the summer. A lot of it could depend on the way things are going for RTN in both daytime and primetime in the ratings.

Things are already looking up for ICE with their rookies most notably Bridget Satterlee having a spectacular debut on the athletic side so ICE might be in position to finish in the top 2 which leaves ROD and SBC for RTN to catch.

Lisa McCune will handle everything for now and hopefully make the actors a little happier.

Definitely in shock that Ashley Greene got fired before the season even started but not surprised she would get fired just the timing of it.

I think this proves she's definitely been a failure as CEO in NITRO as she got two chances and screwed up both of them.

This makes things interesting on who comes in next though but I definitely would like to see the way these ratings shape out too. I think based on everything we saw the schedule before was a little weak but there was still strong things I liked about that wasn't changed here.

The biggest move that I support is Cam Girls to Thursdays after Fugitive at 17 that was a no-brainer but the thing here is how many of that Fugitive at 17 viewers will watch Janit O'Day over Cam Girls that's the question there.

Mondays look a little weaker but a two-hour block should've been installed from the get go but Moving Out faces tougher competition now. The comedy lineup overall might be weak though we'll see what James Scoop thinks. Fridays look real bad too, Wednesdays I gotta see how the ratings for Melrose Place are first. The weekends having WFL should be much improved so that was a good move there on Sundays.

Back to Ashley Greene real quick she seems angered so maybe she comes back trying to get revenge on somebody.

I quite like the Friday line up now. We have differing opinions on Black Flags so I know why you think it is still weak. Black Flag into Sarah into Twisted Tales I think is pretty good. Monday now being a full comedy block is also looking better. A lot of these shows are untested so we don't know how they are going to rate which is the main problem. I think Monday is better then what it was. Tuesday appears to have no changes. Wednesday is probably weakest night of the night looking at the shows. Every channel has a weak night though on paper. Thursday looks very strong, shame it is against the Pageant on ROD. Saturday and Sunday are WFL so we know they will be solid.

I think this is a much better line up. I think Friday got better.

I have noticed two things looking carefully through the schedule which needs answering. Whenever your on next Lisa, take a look and please answer.

Where is Cyber Patrol, Chloe and Last Woman On Earth?

Cyber Patrol I think is the biggest loser unless there is a specific reason it was pulled.

[rodshooter]

For me starting with Mondays I liked Twisted Tales on the back end of that lineup. I support a comedy lineup more for Moving Out but the comedies around Moving Out are going to have to get better though.

Wednesdays are so so it wasn't that strong, to begin with, but we'll see on that one.

Fridays might be the weakest now I can see that easily deteriorating quickly. I'm interested now to see if Black Flag can beat the diss shows because the diss shows have Team SBC behind them now so they'll be some pretunage there.

I agree it's a shame for Thursdays that the pageants are there as that's a first place type of lineup for RTN. I think Tuesdays becomes their #2 night this is excluding the WFL obviously during the weekends.

Yeah, every network has a weak night or two but everybody has a strong night or two as well.

The overall changes are better but some made some nights weaker we'll see how it shakes out.

Lisa McCune: (Interim CEO) Chloe and Last Woman On Earth were axed totally. Both shows were scrapped for other scripts I have here which look better. Cyber Patrol is being held back to partner these shows when they debut later.





RTN has only been around for two weeks of ratings which make nearly all my shows unknowns. I will be doing a cast list for these shows tonight/tomorrow when I have time. I am sure some shows will flop so I will be prepared to make changes. I just hope more then half are successful. I would love Black Flag to be successful as it is different but only time will tell.

Things have come full circle here on Ashley Greene I remember when Pat Devine chose Jessica Lowndes over her I can't imagine how much different things will be had Pat Devine chose Ashley Greene to succeed him over Jessica Lowndes last season. Paige Van Buren probably wouldn't be in charge right now for us. I think Ashley Greene is a horrible CEO she has some good ideas but she doesn't know how to put it all together.
