MMC, the owner-operator of Movieline.com and HollywoodLife.com, has bought itself a handful — Nikki Finke‘s DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com. Great for Nikki, nice payday, etc. Except now the Movieline guys (Stu Van Airsdale, Kyle Buchanan, Seth Abramovitch, etc.) are going to have to adopt a certain position and attitude towards Finke…right? Play ball, get along, noblesse oblige?
1:53 pm update: Finke wrote at 11:04 am that “the site will become bicoastal and debut a New York City-based senior journalist soon.”
