*Click here for sourceMiss Oklahoma Olivia Jordan won the Miss USA pageant Sunday, but Reelz took the Twitter crown with its coverage of the competition. After pageant co-owner Donald Trump’s derogatory comments about Mexican immigrants prompted NBC and Univision to pull out, Reelz stepped in, and while “We sold half the commercial time that we might have” thanks to the controversy, Reelz CEO Stan E. Hubbard tells Cynopsis, “it was a great win for us, for all the right reasons. The pageant was able to go on. And it’s hard as an independent to get attention, but the industry noticed us – distributors, agencies and clients, and viewers. Everyone will look at us differently moving forward. The perception now is that we’re the little network that could.”
Comcast announced the launch of SVOD service Stream, rolling out in Boston, Chicago and Seattle this year and available to all Comcast customers by early 2016.

Unlike Dish Network service Sling TV, Stream will not include cable nets; Sling does not include access to broadcast nets.
The View officially announced Michelle Collins (The Gossip Queens) as co-host. The ABC daytime talker’s creator and exec producer, Barbara Walters, cited the new hire’s “intelligence, quick wit and vast knowledge of pop culture.” Rosie Perez announced last week she won’t be returning for season nineteen, launching in September.
Four Democratic senators are pushing FCC chairman Tom Wheeler to require greater transparency from cable and broadband operators. In a July 9 letter, senators Bernie Sanders, Al Franken, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey asked the FCC to demand that operators provide detailed information about pricing, citing “huge price increases and often poor service.”
The drop in cable TV subscriptions during the second quarter of 2015 will be “markedly worse” than 2Q14’s 321,000 dip, projects MoffettNathanson’s Craig Moffett, noting, “The pace of cord-cutting and cord-nevering appears to have accelerated from 500,000 per year six months ago to more than 1.6 million annually as of Q1.” Upside for cable companies: a gain in broadband customers.
Ryan Seacrest has extended his agreement with iHeartMedia. “I‘ve been active in everything from broadcast radio to digital, from television to social media and more,” said Seacrest, “and the wonderful thing about my extended relationship with iHeartMedia is that it ties everything together.”

Nat Geo WILD’s third annual “Sharkfest” week of programming didn’t match the numbers of big kahuna Discovery’s “Shark Week,” but was up a whopping 60 percent compared with year-ago, and increased its primetime audience 100 percent compared to the previous six weeks. An irreverent promotional video, with comedian Rory Scovel saying, “We’re not that other week of Shark TV. We want you to confuse the two. And you will,” might have helped. “Nat Geo WILD is all about fun,” Geoff Daniels, EVP and GM, tells Cynopsis. “Our Sharkfest promo triggered a happy feeding frenzy, bringing in a huge number of new fans to the Sharkfest party.”
