Idle Chatter: Senator Chris Matthews (D-Penn.)?

-Chris Matthews is considering a run for Senate, and he's already perfected that thing politicians do where they encourage people to speculate about their plans without overtly encouraging the speculation. One strong hint that he's going to run: He's granting extensive interviews to the Patriot-News, "Central Pennsylvania's Leading News Source." You don't see Olbermann doing that.

-HBO has canceled Tell Me You Love Me, its not-quite-porn relationship drama. [THR]

-Nickelodeon has a new strategy: Get parents to watch TV with their kids. Michel Eisner is helping. [NYT]

-Clear Channel is launching an online radio network with more than 900 stations. [AP]. □
