IN THE NEWS

 

Biography is returning to A+E Networks after 5 years as a re-imagined global, linear and digital non-fiction franchise, focusing on meaningful events and personalities and their impact on culture. The series will begin to roll out on A&E, History and Lifetime domestically and internationally across all platforms beginning this spring. Initial linear projects include stories on Biggie Smalls, Vladimir Putin, John Gotti, Elizabeth Smart, Mike Tyson, David Koresh and Tupac Shakur.

Tomi Lahren’s show, Tomi, was reportedly yanked for at least a week from conservative net TheBlaze after right-winger Lahren said on ABC’s The View that she’s pro-choice. “I’m for limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well,” Lahren told the talk show audience on Friday’s episode. Tuesday, Lahren tweeted, “This life can be lonely. Thank you to those – on all sides of the political spectrum – for the support. Agree/disagree, it means the world.”

On demand viewing of video is still on the rise, according FreeWheel’s Fourth-Quarter Video Monetization report. Video views rose 26% in 2016 versus the year prior, and ad views were up 24% for the year. Live viewing via streaming was up 36%. “Large events boosted viewership and pointed us to the future of video consumption where we’re seeing more live viewing occur over an internet connection across all genres,” said the report, which predicts more of the same. “Live digital content will continue to grow, as many traditional distributors and digital aggregators have announced plans for live TV skinny bundles.” Freewheel is a division of Comcast.

Cynopsis’ third annual Top Women in Digital event, honoring the innovators, entrepreneurs, leaders and rising stars in a fast-paced industry, took place yesterday morning at the Yale Club. Acceptances speeches covered family, gender equality and immigration (as well as Olivia Pope, Liz Lemon and Erica Kane). Keynote speaker Elizabeth Spiers, founder of Insurrection, spoke about being a woman in the digital world, noting, “Women are evaluated on performance, while men are evaluated on potential.” Which means when it comes to quantitative measurement, women come out winners.

Hurricane and tropical storm expert Dr. Rick Knabb is returning to The Weather Channel as on-air hurricane expert this May, leading storm reporting and providing forecast analysis and updates. He joins after serving as Director of the National Hurricane Center from 2012 to 2017.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

 

History is developing a scripted anthology series, The Commanders, dramatizing pivotal moments in U.S. history that defined the nation’s presidents. Limited series from 4 to 10 hours in length would tell the stories of Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Theodore Roosevelt, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, for starters. “From the contemporary history of Clinton’s impeachment and its lasting impact on the nation’s political landscape and Reagan’s influence that defined the Republican Party for generations, to Jefferson’s creation of the military might of the U.S. Marines – these defining stories forged our nation,” said Jana Bennett, president and GM of History. “‘The Commanders’ would bring history to life and speak to the crises we face in modern times.”

LEGAL BRIEFS

A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals reversed a 2015 decision that online service FilmOn should be eligible to license broadcast TV programming. While the federal Copyright Act gives cable and satellite companies the right to pay for broadcast content, “FilmOn and other Internet-based retransmission services are neither clearly eligible nor clearly ineligible for the compulsory license,” said the court. “The Copyright Office says they are not eligible. Because the Office’s views are persuasive, and because they are reasonable, we defer to them.” That’s good news for broadcasters, who have argued that a service capturing copyrighted works broadcast over the air, then retransmitting them for paying subscribers, should not be considered a cable system.

Scott and Deirdre Gurney were reinstated as heads of Gurney Productions by an LA Superior Court judge, who granted the Gurneys’ request for an injunction against ITV America. ITV had removed the couple in December amid allegations of fraud. In a statement, ITV said it “respects the court’s ruling today in which the judge expressly declined to opine on the merits of ITV’s claims and instead decided on a preliminary issue of contractual interpretation. We remain very confident of success in the merits of our case and fully expect to win once the allegations of deceit, fraud and self-dealing by the Gurney’s are exposed at a full trial.” ITV is appealing the judge’s ruling.

Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano, who President Trump said was the source for his wiretapping accusations (“That was a statement made by a very talented lawyer on Fox,” POTUS told reporters), is off the air at for the time being, reports Deadline. The FBI, of course, found “no evidence whatsoever” to support the charges.

On the unscripted series front, Lifetime will offer This Time Next Year, based on the UK format and hosted by Cat Deeley, following the journeys of people seeking to change their lives, as well as Model Moms (wt), focused on mom of Gigi and Bella, Yolanda Hadid (Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) as she puts aspiring teen models through their paces.

Nielsen Catalina Solutions and Facebook are teaming for a cross-measurement product to determine how the combination of digital and television drive sales lift for CPG advertisers. An initial study indicated that in most cases, a combination of TV and Facebook resulted in the best ROI. “Advertisers consistently ask us for better, cross-channel sales effect measurement,” said Leslie Wood, chief research officer at Nielsen Catalina Solutions. “To reach this common goal, it will take more than the efforts of individual media companies. It will take the entire industry, collaborating together and with independent, trusted third parties. We’re excited to be working with Facebook towards achieving this goal.”
