" target=" blank">Tough times at 30 Rock: "With just two months until the Beijing Olympics, NBC is scrambling to sell out ad time for its broadcast of the Games... Ad execs estimated NBC was anywhere from $150 million to $300 million shy of its sales target."

Whether or not the network's strategy of offering promotional tie-ins and other deals ultimately helps to salvage the situation, expect NBC Universal head Jeff Zucker to get another inexplicable promotion.
