TV Week: 10 Most Powerful People in TV News

TV Week: "Drum roll, please. It's time for TelevisionWeek's 2007 list of the 10 Most Powerful People in TV News. As always, our completely unscientific (but earnest) selection process starts with extensive research. It includes gossip and backstage drama, with additional points for the sort of muscle and moxie that make things happen, plus extra consideration for profile, ratings, revenue and projections. And finally we throw in what we like to call a little 'have we got your attention now?' shock value. Can you guess who fell off the list this year?
