What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Hollywood Reporter says the album of the year Grammy race may come down to two Olivias, Dean and Rodrigo.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI love both of them, and I love every album ever made!

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have covered coups with fewer contenders, Chip. Two Olivias, one trophy. It's a custody battle with a gramophone.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDeadline reports Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2027 will simulcast on ABC and Disney+ for the first time, Thursday, December 31, at 8 p.m. Eastern.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTwo screens, one countdown!

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNow you can watch a crowd freeze in two places at once. Deadline also says David Brindley is Channel 4's new Director of Programmes.

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy pitch: Two Olivias, a reality show where they share one trophy and one tiny apartment. Channel 4 can have it free.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBrindley will probably say no.
