AD SALES UPFRONT NEWS - CARTOON NETWORK After several tumultuous weeks following the misbegotten guerrilla marketing campaign for Cartoon Network's animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which is part of its late night Adult Swim programming block, yesterday's snow/icy rain and cold in New York City mixed with the network's annual kids upfront presentation was likely a respite for team. Leading the network's ad sales upfront presentation for the 2007 TV season was Mark Lazarus, President, Turner Entertainment Group, a role that fell to him last week after the fallout of the Adult Swim marketing troubles claimed the job of Jim Samples Cartoon Network's EVP and GM. All of that aside, the business of the kid side of the network will see the launch of five new original series, a new after school programming block, a new mobile tech project featuring animated characters, the launch of the previously announced Massively Multi-Player Game among other plans as well as a newly ordered second season of the series Class of 3000. New Series:
The network also has a series of special events and new media projects planned for the remainder of this year:
NEW PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT CCI Entertainment Ltd. and Seven24 Films Inc. (f/k/a Alberta Filmworks) have entered into a co-venture to produce a number of new properties over the next three years. The first project to be developed under the pact is a tween-targeted TV series, Stuck in the Middle. Additionally, the co-development slate includes two movies, a Halloween thriller and a family Christmas comedy. Most recently CCI and Seven24 co-produced the live-action/CGI series Dinosapien (15 episodes) last year for BBC, Discovery USA and BBC Kids. CCI and Seven24 will produce an additional 13 episodes of Dinosapien this summer 2007. MORE KIDS STUFF Nick at Nite will premiere two movies, a first for the network, beginning next week. The 1980s comedies Crocodile Dundee and Planes, Trains & Automobiles will bow on Nick at Nite on Tuesday, February 20 and 27 respectively from 9-11p. STONE SOUP Given all of the various modern distractions like DVDs, video games, the internet (e.g. social networking websites) and all are kids, tweens and teens really watching less TV? According to a Magna Global, which has done an analysis of the most recent Nielsen Media Research data, the answer is no. Magna reports the average 24-hour TV viewing times by Kids 2-11, Tweens 9-14 and Teens 12-17 are on par with last year, with K2-11 viewing up versus five years ago for the demo. That said, the report does indicate that while kids/teen may not be watching less TV, not all viewing habits are equal, particularly as kids/teens increase their ability to multitask. When it comes to broadcast networks versus kid centric cable networks, K2-11 and K6-11 are watching more action-adventure shows on cable, while the average amount of time spent viewing kid's shows on the broadcast networks has decreased by 15 minutes a week. EXECUTIVE MOVES Nancy A. McGee has been appointed SVP/Marketing, Starz Entertainment. Heading up a team comprised of marketing communications, branding, research, online/new media, and product development, McGee is charged with developing the overall Starz brand and helping to grow the company through its new initiatives in online, HD and original programming. She will report to President and COO, Bill Myers. McGee had been SVP/Marketing, Adelphia Communications until August 2006, when Adelphia was sold to Time Warner Cable and Comcast Cable. Previously she held Sr. marketing positions with cable companies AT&T Broadband and MediaOne. As part of an initiative to increase the creation of new original properties, Lion Television USA has named Christy Spitzer as Director/Development. Spitzer will be based in NYC and will report to EVP, Tony Tackaberry. She joins the company from MTV where she served as Manager/Development. Previously Spitzer worked for Columbia Pictures on range promotional platforms. Caryl Liebmann joins Pokemon USA, Inc. as Director/Development and Promotions. She will be responsible for developing and implementing retail promotions including feature shops, gift with purchase programs, cross promotions and private label and direct-to-retail opportunities. Liebmann previously toiled for 4Kids Entertainment, Inc., where she focused on properties including Pokemon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Yu-Gi-Oh!
