Cynopsis: DIGITAL

Good morning. It’s Wednesday, January 15, 2014, and this is your first early morning digital briefing.

NEW PROGRAMMING + DEALS

ABC News and social newswire Storyful announced a partnership to bring Storyful’s verification services, newsroom tech and video content to ABC News and Fusion’s broadcast and online platforms. Storyful uses social media to uncover and verify video before gaining permission for media use.

TV channel operator for linear, digital and mobile platforms Anthem Media Group announced the March 4 launch of the first 24-hour Fantasy Sports TV Network. The net will be included in TV, over-the-top boxes, online and mobile platforms throughout North America; Anthem will unveil its programming and marketing partnerships in the coming weeks. The network is also supported by a flagship fantasy sports site RotoExperts.com, and sports pop culture site SportsGrid.com.

The Whistle, a sports entertainment net for young fans and athletes, added Major League Baseball’s interactive media and web company MLB Advanced Media to its list of partners. The Whistle will produce short-form baseball programming for its digital platforms, including its new YouTube multi-channel sports network, under the deal.

CONTENT MEDIA

Netflix announced  new original series Marco Polo, slated for late 2014. Game of Thrones and True Blood’s Dan Minahan is on the list of executive producers for the nine-episode adventure series, currently in production.

NBCUniversal’s recap, review and fan web community, TelevisionWithoutPity.com (“spare the snark, spoil the networks”) has launched its 4th annual Movies Without Pity Awards. For six weeks, fans vote for their favorite or most-hated movies and actors from the year. Among the 60 categories: Most Yawn-Inducing Oscar Bait and Character That Most Deserves Their Own Movie. Winners will be announced before The 86th Academy Awards on March 2.

ADVERTISING

At the Television Critics Association press tour in LA yesterday, FX Networks CEO John Landgraf said delayed viewing could be costing his net upwards of 40 percent of its ad sales revenue. “We need to find ways to mitigate those losses,” said the exec, adding that ad-supported on-demand service FXNow “will allow us to begin rebuilding our advertising business.”

SOCIAL MEDIA

Twitter is rolling out a new site design for its desktop users. The homepage makeover includes a larger left side profile box, and the opportunity to change more color features through the “design” tab. The toolbar’s font sizes have grown and appear in front of a white background. All users should have the redesign within the week.

MOBILE GAMING + APPS

Information tech research company Gartner released a report yesterday showing less than one percent of consumer mobile apps will be a financial success through 2018. Gartner suggests consumers are turning to recommendation engines, friends, social networking or advertising instead of mobile apps. The research also found 90 percent of paid applications are downloaded less than 500 times a day, to make less than $1,250 a day. By 2017, 94.5 percent of app downloads will be for free apps, Gartner predicts.
