Its off to Camp Allen for some media moguls looking to be seen and/or cook up the following week's media headlines

Published: Friday, July 07, 2006

Its that time of year again where overpaid media moguls gas up the company jet and head to Sun Valley, Idaho with their overly spoiled families to rub elbows with their new media and old media counterparts in hopes of landing deals. LA Weekly's Nikki Finke managed to got her sticky little fingers on the speaker schedule and it reads like it always does with the whose who of media.

The crowd who will surely get the most attention this year are the new media execs who all the old media guys want to either buy or do big business with. No word on whether Rupert Murdoch will show up with Myspace's Tom and Chris, but that would be the show stealer we think. One person who should be present is CBS's Les Moonves. He is looking to get his foot in the movie business so it would be in his best interest to shake some hands and kiss some ass to bring in some partners on his idea. Tom Freston should stay clear of the Myspace guys because he may feel obligated to explain to them why he couldn't fight harder to buy them and had to settle for xfire.com instead. Time Warner CFO Wayne Pace will be a no show for one reason, Andrea Schwartz.
