ABC picked up a comedy reality series inspired by a segment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Half-hour hidden-camera prank show Repeat After Me, from DeGeneres’s A Very Good Production and Warner Horizon and hosted by Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs), slips into the Tuesday-at-8:30p slot on February 17, after midseason comedy Fresh Off the Boat. One more and it’s a trend – Spike TV’s Lip Sync Battle, based on a Jimmy Fallon segment on NBC’s Tonight Show, arrives April 2.

IN THE NEWS

Dr. Evil is heading to HBO. SNL alum Mike Myers (Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery) signed a two-year overall deal with the premium cable net that makes him exclusive to HBO in television. “Mike Myers is one of the great comedy minds of this or any other era,” said head of programming Michael Lombardo. “The opportunity to collaborate with a talent of his stature is tremendously exciting.”

Revenge’s storyline may appear to be reaching a conclusion, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the show is coming to an end, offered Paul Lee at TCA. “I really love the show,” said the ABC Entertainment Group president. “They have some great storylines coming up this year. There are ways to reinvent it, too.”

The ABC honcho also touched on the diversity in ABC’s freshman slate, which includes How to Get Away with Murder, black-ish and Cristela. “I really believed from the beginning that the demographic changes in America were just as important to our evolution as the technological changes,” said Lee. “That notion that we were there to reflect America was tremendously important to ABC.”

Speaking of, at a TCA panel for Fresh Off the Boat, Eddie Huang said that despite a piece for Vulture in which he wrote that ABC tried turn his memoir into a “cornstarch sitcom,” he supports the comedy. “I care most about the conversation that’s going to happen because of this show,” Huang told reporters. “This show, to me, is historic. This show has a huge place, culturally, in America.”

The Weather Channel meteorologist and storm tracker Jim Cantore is joining morning show AMHQ’s Sam Champion as co-host, beginning Monday, January 26 from 7a-10a. But he won’t just be staying dry behind a desk. “The minute severe weather threatens, he will be out in the elements providing his insights and expertise,” said Champion. Also joining AMHQ is meteorologist Jennifer Delgado. AMHQ is expanding to the weekends starting Saturday, January 31, with hosts Kait Parker and Reynolds Wolf.

Game of Thrones will make its IMAX debut a week later than scheduled to allow for an expanded roll-out due to “extraordinary consumer response,” said the theater company Wednesday.  The HBO drama will run in about 200 theaters, up from 150, for one week starting Thursday, January 29. Feature will include the final two episodes of season four plus a trailer for season five, launching April 12.

The Telemundo Station Group announced its consumer investigative units have recovered over $1 million across seven markets for cases involving identity theft, fraudulent tax preparers, cell phone rebates and the like in the nine months since Telemundo Responde’s launch. So four new investigative units will debut in 2015, in Chicago (WSNS), Phoenix (KTAZ), Tucson (KHRR) and Puerto Rico (WKAQ).

The Cable and Telecommunications Human Resources Association re-elected two board members, Lisa Kaye, president and CEO of greenlightjobs, and NJ Pesci, EVP of human resources for Scripps Networks Interactive, and added six new members: Doug Adkins, VP of HR for ESPN; Dave Crossen, SVP of HR for NBC Broadcasting and Advertising Sales; Marisa Famulare, SVP of HR, East Coast, for HBO; Fatimah Garvey, VP of compensation for CBS Corporation, Judith Mills, group VP of HR for Mediacom Communications, and Alisha Penick, VP of talent rewards, engagement and mobility at Turner Broadcasting System.

BRANDS AND ADVERTISING

MoffettNathanson Research’s Michael Nathanson reported national U.S. TV advertising was down 1.4 percent in 4Q14, due to “terrible trends, weak scatter volume and pricing, plus lower upfront CPM inflation.” Among the Big Four nets, Fox was down 9 percent (to $971 million), ABC dipped 2 percent (to $895 million), CBS was up .5 percent ($1.2 billion) and NBC, including NBC-owned stations, rose 2 percent ($1.64 billion). Cable nets were down 1.4 percent, but there were bright spots, including AMC Networks, up 15 percent to $236 million, 21st Century Fox, rising 5 percent to $470 million, and Scripps, with a 3 percent boost to $425 million.

Advertising for the Super Bowl will likely surpass the $331 million take in 2014, according to Kantar Media, with NBC reportedly raking in an average $4.5 million per 30-second spot. That’s up from $4.2 million last year.

CASTING

Joining the cast of WGN America’s Salem, which just started production on season two for an April return: Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess), Stuart Townsend (Betrayal), Joe Doyle (Raw) and Oliver Bell (The Saint).
