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.

-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]. □
