London
London () is the capital of England and the United Kingdom, the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom and the largest urban zone in the European Union by most measures. London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who called it Londinium. London's core, the ancient City of London, largely retains its square-mile mediaeval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, the name London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region and the Greater London administrative area, governed by the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly.

SHELLY PALMER offers up some alternative theories for the OSCAR's incredibly low ratings this year. It could be that the films were dark and the actors were foreign, but it could also have to do with something much less variable. SAG's New York board is urging the Guild to begin contract negotiations with the AMPTP soon. The board issued a resolution stating that SAG is "wasting valuable time and Guild resources" in its talks with AFTRA and by ignoring the tactic of early discussions with the AMPTP taken by the DGA. AFTRA has also asked SAG to speed things up in their negotiations and has threatened to begin AMPTP talks this month without SAG. NBC U and the MPAA issued filings with the FCC on Friday supporting the right of Internet service providers to throttle Internet connections to file-sharing networks. Both parties claimed that Internet congestion caused by pirated material will hinder their ability to provide reliable, legal content and will harm consumers by interrupting access to that content. NBC U and the MPAA asked the FCC to give Internet providers enough freedom to prevent such network slowdowns from stunting the growing legal online video market. THE TVB said that Broadcast TV revenue was down 4.4% in 2007 and down 5.6% in Q4 year-over-year. Local TV revenue was down 9.5% during the year. 9 out of 10 of the top local advertisers reduced spending, with the top four spenders reducing by more than 20%.

William Morris Endeavor, or WME, is the largest diversified talent agency in the world, with offices in Beverly Hills; London; Miami Beach; Nashville; New York City and Shanghai. WME represents clients from all artistic disciplines, including motion pictures, television, music, theatre, publishing, commercials, sports, digital media, and video games. WME also has subsidiaries and strategic investments in companies which provide both marketing and advertising services as well as investment banking and commercial banking services to its clients in the media and entertainment industries.
History
Beginnings
In 1898, William Morris, a German Jewish immigrant to the US, posted a cross-hatch trademark above an office door in New York City - four "X's," representing a W superimposed on an M - and went into business as "William Morris, Vaudeville Agent." By the time WMA formally incorporated in New York State on January 31, 1918, Morris's son William, Jr., and an office boy named Abraham Lastfogel, who, after becoming a talent agent in his own right, had entered into a business partnership with Morris Sr., had joined him as fellow directors of his company.As silent film grew into widely viewed entertainment, Morris encouraged his clients to experiment in the new medium while the competition stayed with vaudeville. Stars such as Al Jolson, the Marx Brothers, Mae West and Charlie Chaplin helped forge the Agency's dominance in New York and Hollywood. The new medium of radio provided another frontier to explore.
By 1930, Morris had turned over leadership of the agency to his son and Lastfogel. In 1932, 5 years after his retirement, William Morris Sr. died from heart failure. In the 1930s, the Agency moved from Hollywood and Vine to Canon Drive in Beverly Hills.
1945 to 2000
The William Morris Agency attained further industry dominance with the December 1949 acquisition of the Berg-Allenberg Agency. The senior agent in the motion picture department during the 1950s was Mike Zimring. New clients included Frank Capra, Clark Gable and Judy Garland, joining a roster that already included Sammy Davis, Jr., Milton Berle and Rita Hayworth.
With the arrival of television, WMA recognized a new business paradigm that would eventually make it possible to package stars, producers, writers and show concepts for sale to corporate sponsors, which controlled television's early days. The following decades brought success to scores of WMA clients, including Steve McQueen, Frank Sinatra, Andy Griffith, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Katharine Hepburn, Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Kim Novak, Dick Van Dyke and Bill Cosby.
By 1965, WMA's Music Department had emerged as an industry powerhouse, representing, among others, the Rolling Stones, the Byrds, the Beach Boys and Sonny & Cher. Less than 10 years later, in 1973, the Agency's newly established Nashville office provided another significant boost to the operations of William Morris, extending the Agency's reach into country music and beyond.
In the early 1980s, WMA built the William Morris Plaza located at 150 El Camino Drive, directly across the street from its main building at 151 El Camino. In 1989 WMA acquired the Jim Halsey Company, adding performers such as The Oak Ridge Boys, Waylon Jennings and Tammy Wynette.
In 1992, the Agency acquired Triad Artists, marking the largest acquisition of a talent agency in show business history. Some fifty Triad agents joined WMA's corps of talent and literary agents worldwide.
A year after the Triad acquisition, WMA created a Corporate Advisory/New Media Department which evolved into William Morris Consulting (WMC). WMC now operates in a broad spectrum of industry segments, including telecommunications, technology, lodging, gaming, publishing, retail, and consumer products.
In the early '90s, WMA's Literary Department announced the largest book-to-screen deal ever inked when it sold the television rights for "Scarlett," the sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind. In 2000, WMA acquired The Writers Shop.
Post-2000
WMA's Miami Beach office opened in 2003, and WMA's Shanghai office opened in 2004. In 2007 the Agency expanded its London music operation, underscoring WMA's continued commitment to the international marketplace. Along with the addition of new personnel, the London office moved into the iconic Centre Point Tower.Today the agency has principal offices in Beverly Hills, New York, Nashville, London, Miami Beach and Shanghai. WMA is active in all segments of the entertainment industry, from Motion Pictures, Television, Music and Personal Appearances to Broadway Theatre and Theatrical Touring, Book Publishing, Commercial Endorsements, Sports Marketing and Corporate Consulting, Digital Media and Video Games.
On April 27, 2009 WMA announced its merger with Endeavor Talent Agency. The merger has been widely seen as a takeover by Ari Emanuel and his partners at Endeavor.

The William Morris mailroom
The William Morris agent training program, often referred to as the "mailroom", was established in the 1940s and is well-known for its roster of successful alumni. Since the 1970s the program has been replicated at other talent agencies and studios, many of which were headed by former mailroom trainees. Once accepted, trainees rotate through different departments, starting with the mailroom, before becoming a full-time assistant or coordinator. WME's main competitor, Creative Artists Agency, was founded in 1975 by Michael Ovitz, Ron Meyer, William Haber, Michael Rosenfeld, and Rowland Perkins, all former WMA mailroom trainees.Current WMA Chairman Norman Brokaw became the first mailboy in the Beverly Hills Mailroom, at age 15.
