IN THE NEWS

A year after its season one finale, Pop’s Queens of Drama was officially canceled. The unscripted series following former soap stars attempting to develop a new sudser premiered in April 2015.

Taya Kyle has joined Fox News Channel as a contributor. The widow of American Sniper author Chris Kyle is a military veteran’s family activist and author of the 2015 autobiography “American Wife: A Memoir of Love, Service, Faith, and Renewal”; she made her first appearance on Fox & Friends on Monday.

Judges for the 2017 Miss America Competition will include Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, Sara Foster (90210), country artist Cole Swindell (“You Should Be Here”) and 1985 Miss America Sharlene Wells Hawkes. The Bachelor’s Chris Harrison hosts the ABC event with Sage Steele on Sunday, September 11 at 9p.

Sinclair Broadcast Group was fined over $9 million for failing to fulfill its obligations to negotiate in good faith with pay-TV operators. But fines aren’t enough to remedy issues surrounding retrans negotiations, said Matthew Polka, president and CEO of the American Cable Association. “The widespread duress felt by independent cable operators as a result of broken and outdated retransmission consent rules exploited by TV stations across the country is far from over,” asserted Polka. “This is especially true in the wake of Chairman [Tom] Wheeler’s recent decision not to recommend changes to the FCC’s good faith rules ….Notwithstanding today’s action, Chairman Wheeler should reconsider his decision that additional FCC guidance through the good faith rules is unneeded at this time.”

The Broadcast Film Critics Association will honor the best in documentary features and non-fiction TV at a ceremony at BRIC in Brooklyn on Thursday, November 13. Television categories include Limited Documentary Series, Ongoing Documentary Series and Unstructured Reality Series, among others. “We believe the time has come to focus attention on these important, informative and entertaining productions at an event dedicated solely to celebrating the positive effects these works have towards educating, inspiring and triggering social change amongst audiences,” said BFCA president Joey Berlin.

Atlanta chef Tregaye Fraser, who won season 12 of Food Network Star on July 31, will co-host the new season of The Kitchen Sink in the fall. It’s a dream come true for Fraser, who previously competed on Guy’s Grocery Games and Cutthroat Kitchen.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

Pop ordered The Joey Mac Project (wt), a scripted comedy starring the New Kids on the Block star inspired by his life, from T Group Productions. NKOTB’s Donnie Wahlberg and wife Jenny McCarthy, Tim Gibbons (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Paul Greenberg (Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris) and Jenny Daly (Storage Hunters) are exec producing.

truTV gave the green light for Bobcat Goldthwait’s Messed Up Stories (wt), slated to premiere in 2017. Scripted anthology series, produced by Left/Right with Goldthwait, Banks Tarver, Ken Druckerman and Olivia Wingate serving as executive producers “will examine accepted truths and hypocrisies of our culture and turn them inside out,” promised Goldthwait.

Tom Fontana (Oz) has joined Starz drama series project Havana Quartet, intended as the first U.S. series to shoot scenes in Cuba, as executive producer. Antonio Banderas is starring in the Entertainment One Television production.

TV One ordered original movie Media, a drama following a wealthy family in the communications business. Penny Johnson (Castle), Brian White (The Family Stone), Gary Dourdan (CSI), Stephen Bishop (Being Mary Jane), Chrystee Pharris (Scrubs) and Blue Kimble (Devious Maids) will star in the project from Radio One founder Cathy Hughes and Susan Banks (Fright Night Files), slated for 2017.

TCA TALK

Starz took the opportunity at TCA to announce it has extended its overall deal with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (Power). Starz and Jackson are developing superhero-themed Tomorrow, Today, based on a screenplay by Jackson. Starz also greenlit a second season of limited series The Girlfriend Experience, from Steven Soderbergh.

And there’s more in the works at Starz. A telenovela is being developed with Lionsgate and Televisa USA, created by Carlos Portugal (East Los High) and  based on Mexico’s hit Teresa, focused on an undocumented Latina pursuing money and power in LA. Pussy Valley, created by Katori Hall (The Mountaintop) and exec produced by Peter Chernin, focuses on the world of pole dancers, and The Dirty Girls Social Club, based on the novel by Alisa Valdes, looks at six diverse professional women living in NYC who have known each other since college. 

But enough about programming. What’s with the lack of Emmy nods for acclaimed Starz shows like Outlander and Power? Starz CEO Chris Albrecht noted at TCA that he’d been at HBO when series like The Sopranos cracked the Emmy code. “I was part of the team that invented how to campaign for Emmys,” said Albrecht. “Trust me, it’s not an even playing field….It takes a lot of money.” But no matter. “We couldn’t be more proud of our shows,” added Albrecht. “They are award-worthy.”

ID wasn’t short on announcements at TCA. The net revealed a development deal with best-selling author James Patterson to write and exec produce a six-part scripted series, based on ID-branded true crime stories written for Patterson’s new line of novella-length stories, Bookshots. “My plan is that we will create a groundbreaking series that shatters the true crime mold,” said Patterson.

ID is also teaming with American Media, home of the National Enquirer, for a three-part series produced with Weinstein Television and Jupiter Entertainment. JonBenet: An American Murder Mystery, reexamining evidence on the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsay, premieres Monday, September 12 at 10p.

One hour special Black and Blue, exploring the current state of police affairs and race relations, got a green light from ID. The NBC News’ Peacock Productions special will feature reporting by Tony Harris. And the net announced a TV premiere date for documentary film Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four. The critically acclaimed film about four Latina lesbians wrongfully accused of crimes will air under banner ID Films on Saturday, October 15 at 8p.

TNT’s unscripted series The Race Card (wt) will follow NBA legend Charles Barkley as he explores why the country is so divided right now. The show is part of TNT’s new strategy of tackling “unique subjects and formats not found anywhere else,” said Michael Bloom, TNT and TBS’s SVP of unscripted series and specials. “With his enormous popularity and outspoken, sometimes controversial views, Charles is the perfect choice to kick off this new strategy.” TNT has also ordered a pilot for Rod Lurie‘s post-Civil War drama Monsters of God, from Brad Pitt‘s Plan B Entertainment. Action-adventure series The Last Ship will be back for season four next summer.

Also on the way for TNT: another procedural drama, along the lines of network hits Rizzoli & Isles and Major Crimes. “There is still an audience that likes a good closed-ended story,” said Turner Entertainment chief creative officer Kevin Reilly at TCA. On the subject of the experiment with reduced ad loads on TNT dramas, Reilly reported “very good results,” adding, “not only is commercial viewing higher, we’re seeing a nice ratings lift.” 

TBS is adding original comedy The Guest Book, from Greg Garcia (My Name is Earl), and Tarantula, its first original primetime animated series, to the lineup in 2017. The Guest Book is produced by CBS Television Studios, while Tarantula comes from creator Carson Mell (Silicon Valley) and Rough House Pictures. Comedy World’s End, written by Jonathan Ames (Bored to Death) and starring Hamish Linklater (The Big Short) and Wanda Sykes (black-ish) was ordered to pilot. “Our new projects, from some of the best creators and producers in the industry, will fit perfectly with the new direction we’ve been taking the TBS brand,” said Brett Weitz, EVP of programming for TBS. “Each show brings something fresh and unique to the comedy genre.”

HLN, rebranding as a faster-paced news net, brought to TCA Robin Meade, Michaela Pereira and Erika Hill, whose shows will run from 6a-3p in the fall. The HLN strategy includes running more regional news, sports, weather and entertainment than Turner sib CNN.

COMING UP

Access Hollywood is sending Natalie Morales, Kit Hoover and Billy Bush on the road to Rio to cover the Summer Olympics in Rio. In addition to interviews with athletes and celebs, the team will showcase where the locals and Hollywood stars hang out.

Guesting on season five of truTV’s Billy on the Street will be Aziz Ansara, Jon Hamm, Lupita N’yong’o, John Oliver and Seth Rogan. The net also announced an Adam Ruins Everything election special on Tuesday, October 25 at 10p.

Branded content studio Courageous has accomplished all it set out to do, “and then some,” says studio head Otto Bell  including a conference on Wednesday about the state of human augmentation. Find out more in the latest Cynsiders.

Link TV documentary series Link Voices includes five new films that will air every Wednesday in August at 9p, exploring cultural, social and environmental issues. The lineup launches August 3 with Searching for Sugar Man, following the efforts of two Cape Town music fans to determine the fate of American musician Sixto Rodriguez.

Starting on what would have been his 117th birthday, HDNet Movies celebrates Alfred Hitchcock with a 48-hour “Master of Suspense Weekend” marathon.

IFC’s new horror-comedy series Stan Against Evil premieres with back-to-back episodes Wednesday, November 2 at 10p, following a special airing, appropriately enough, on Halloween night at 10p.

Late night TV gets a jab when Pop’s Nightcap premieres Wednesday, November 16. Ali Wentworth (Head Case) stars as a talent wrangler in the 10-episode scripted series from Lionsgate. A-list guest stars include Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, Paul Rudd, Kelly Ripa, Whoopi Goldberg, Mark Cuban and Wentworth’s husband, George Stephanopoulos, among others. “I’m not saying this just because I created and star in the show, but the series is hilarious and Ali Wentworth is phenomenal!” said Wentworth.

Discovery goes hog wild in Sacred Steel (wt), focused on an unusual bike team that transforms motorcycles into masterpieces. Debuting on September 12 at 10p, the docu-series is part of the net’s Motor Mondays lineup.

UK series Dragons’ Den, based on the Japanese format that inspired Shark Tank, launches on BBC America Wednesday, August 3 at 9p.

ADVERTISING & BRANDS

From 1Q16 to 2Q16, the amount of money spent via programmatic buying on linear TV ad campaigns jumped 74 percent, according to Videology. “The traditional methods of TV buying are still alive and well, but now, for the first time, we’re starting to see real movement in the use of data and technology for advancing TV advertising efficiencies,” said Scott Ferber, founder and CEO of Videology.

The final night of the Democratic National Convention last week hauled in $25.8 million in total national advertising. According to iSpot.tv, $7.7 million ad dollars went to broadcast nets, mostly in primetime, while $18.1 million went into cable news coffers for early fringe, prime time and late night content.

Matthew McConaughey has been named the new creative director of Wild Turkey, ahead of the September launch of TV and digital spots directed by the Dallas Buyers Club star from JWT in New York. “When making a movie, you have two hours to tell a story,” said McConaughey, a spokesman for Lincoln, in a statement. “Here I have 30 seconds to reintroduce the world to this authentic American brand that has helped shape an entire U.S. industry: bourbon. It will be a very interesting and fun challenge.” But, presumably, no drinking while driving.

SYNDICATION

The Robert Irvine Show premieres on The CW Network stations Monday, September 12 at 3p. The hour-long conflict resolution talker will air Monday-Friday.

Off-network rights to Warner Bros. comedy Mom have gone to Tribune Broadcasting, for a fall 2017 debut in 16 markets. Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution also struck deals with stations from other groups, clearing 71 percent of the country. The series, heading into season 4 on CBS, “has all of the elements required for off-net comedy success,” said WBDTD president Ken Werner. “There has been a Chuck Lorre multi-camera comedy atop the off-net syndication ratings for an astounding 457 weeks in a row dating back to 2007.”

GLOBAL GOINGS ON

A+E Networks Lifetime and Facebook are partnering for a multiplatform campaign aimed at providing women in Asia with the support and resources to start their own businesses in the food and beverage industry. The effort brings together Lifetime’s #RethinkWomen and Facebook’s #SheMeansBusiness.
