• Fox 9's license is up for renewal, and a bunch of incensed New Jerseyans are fighting the station for failing to live up to its Jersey-side obligations. After all, the channel is based out of Secaucus but bills itself as "My9 New York." [NYT]

FINANCE
• A communications expert gives Steve Schwarzman some advice on winning over the public: "He should be a part of that debate in Davos, in Washington, in tons of conferences.

No wonder Schwarzman stayed silent so long — it's not like he needs help. [Deal Journal/WSJ]
• Can UBS' investment arm really worth be less than zero? Some rather simple mathematics puts the i-bank unit at negative 22 billion Swiss francs, courtesy of the credit crunch. [Deal Journal/WSJ]

• When it comes to salaries (and jobs), Thacher Proffitt giveth, and Thacher Profitt taketh away. [Above the Law]
