Money decides all in the broadcast world...and Rachel's motivations mean nothing to a suit who signs the checks and the contracts. All they care about is how much money she can make the company or if there's something else or someone else who can. Also, if they develop a show, then who is it sold to? Again, if she's given a show it's gonna be on both a short and tight leash...take it or leave it.

There's no greed here, just business...and I'm very sure Rachel and her agent know the game very, very well. Unfortunately altruism and principals mean little in broadcasting. If that were the case, I'd still be doing talk shows. The behind the scenes are both byzantine and is always by the golden rule. Rachel should feel fortunate, and I'll bet she is, that she has the opportunity to get on a network and say what she does...I'd hate to see her ruin that...but you can't eat altruism.

Again, Rachel is still a fresh face on the television scene and giving her own show would be a big risk for the network...not one she controls but they do. It's their electrons.

In the end, Rachel may need to hold on to whatever NBC offers as I see AAR in its death throes...
