IN THE NEWS

Netflix added 7.66 million subscribers in the fourth quarter, handily besting the 4.57 million analysts had forecast. Revenue of $7.82 billion edged near the $7.85 billion expected, but earnings per share came in at 12 cents, a big miss from the 45 cents projected. Netflix also revealed that co-CEO Reed Hastings is stepping down and transitioning to the role of Executive Chairman. Chief Operating Officer Greg Peters has been promoted to share the co-CEO title with Ted Sarandos.

“I want to thank Reed for his visionary leadership, mentorship and friendship over the last 20 years,” said Sarandos. “We’ve all learned so much from his intellectual rigor, honesty and willingness to take big bets – and we look forward to working with him for many more years to come. Since Reed started to delegate management to us, Greg and I have built a strong operating model based on our shared values and like-minded approach to growth. I am so excited to start this new chapter with Greg as co-CEO.”

“60 Minutes” has a new face: former ABC News White House correspondent Cecilia Vega is joining the team of CBS’s venerable newsmagazine. “Cecilia Vega is a sensational reporter and storyteller. I have admired her work for a long, long time and couldn’t be more excited to welcome her to ’60 Minutes’,” said the show’s executive producer, Bill Owens. “Her new colleagues couldn’t agree more.”

Starz renewed “Outlander” for an eighth, and final, 10-episode season. “For nearly a decade ‘Outlander’ has won the hearts of audiences worldwide and we’re pleased to bring Claire and Jamie’s epic love story to a proper conclusion,” said Kathryn Busby, President, Original Programming for Starz. “But before we close this chapter there is plenty of their passionate story to tell.” Season seven premieres this summer. While the period drama is coming to a close, prequel series “Blood of My Blood” has been greenlit.

The season two finale of HBO Max’s “Gossip Girl” on January 26 will double as the series ender. “We are very grateful to showrunner/executive producer Joshua Safran, and executive producers Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz for bringing us back to the Upper East Side and all the scandals at Constance Billard,” HBO Max said in a statement. On Instagram, Safran said producers are looking for a new home for the show, but acknowledged that “in this climate, that might prove an uphill battle.”

US ad investments in children’s content and programming increased by nearly 50% in 2022, according to a new study by MediaRadar. Ad spend promoting children’s products and services, including toys and games, entertainment, personal care, and more, have grown to over $1.6 billion through 2022. Seventy percent of the spend went to digital channels, including streaming; 29% went to traditional TV; and 1% went to print. “This is a growth category,” said Todd Krizelman, CEO, MediaRadar. “Even as other verticals have seen a pullback in spend, investments in children’s content and from children’s brands have grown substantially year-over-year – particularly in digital.”

Media agencies have officially been invited to join the joint industry committee formed by media companies to create standards for audience measurement. A letter on behalf of NBCUniversal, Paramount Global, Fox, TelevisaUnivision and Warner Bros. Discovery asked agencies to nominate three people to participate in the measurement certification council, saying, “We believe that if we’re going to realize our collective ambitions of ensuring accurate cross-platform solutions for measuring premium video are available, we cannot do it alone. We want your feedback as we establish new standards for the future.”

The premiere of acquired British drama “The Lazarus Project,” slated for January 23 on TNT, has been postponed. The show joins delays on Warner Bros. Discovery sib TBS for season four of “Miracle Workers,” which was supposed to kick off January 16, and season two of “The Cube,” which had been slated to debut January 8. The date changes “will allow us to better support the three series later this year,” said a TNets rep.

TECH TALK

As he prepares for his third presidential run, Donald Trump has formally requested that Facebook reinstate his account. In a letter, to Meta, Trump’s campaign said the ban on his account, blocked after the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack, “has dramatically distorted and inhibited the public discourse.” A Facebook rep said the company will “announce a decision in the coming weeks.”

New video ad formats in streaming TV are 2X more favorable than traditional TV ads for consumers, according to a study from Magna Media Trials and the Roku Brand Studio. Key findings from “Beyond the :30 on Streaming TV” include:
· Thematic Tagged Vignettes catch attention: 65% of respondents agreed that the spots “taught me something new,” besting traditional spots by some 20 points.
· Roku Original Vignettes triple return on purchase intent: +10% purchase intent for Roku Originals Vignettes vs +3% for traditional TV ads.
· Watch Alongs improve recall: 66% top-of-mind ad recall for Watch Alongs vs. 39% for traditional ads.
“In the current advertising environment, it is important to recognize that viewers can easily skip over advertising, but our study found they are less likely to do so if the ads are as entertaining as the programming and present a more enjoyable experience,” said Kara Manatt, EVP, Managing Director, Intelligence Solutions, MAGNA. “One of the most memorable formats for viewers is Watch Alongs, likely because the advertiser is offering the viewer added value to the show they are watching.”

The Coalition for Innovative Media Measurement, the 4A’s and the TVB are launching a joint study focused on developing an action plan for supporting the evolution of local TV measurement in the US market. Consulting firm Sequent Partners will undertake a diagnostic exercise, focused on assessing the current state of the market, evaluating requirements across the ecosystem, and identifying potential solutions. “The growth of new platforms has increased the supply of data in the market, opening up new opportunities for measurement, advanced audience buying and attribution,” said Jon Watts, Managing Director at CIMM. “However, there is increasing industry sentiment that these opportunities are unevenly distributed and often unavailable at scale in every local market – and that there is limited coordination on requirements and priorities amongst different players….We’re confident that a collaborative effort like this one can help the industry to make real progress.”

Emplifi, a customer experience platform, announced the launch of Emplifi™ AI Composer, a solution the company says can generate ready-to-publish social media copy. “Emplifi is leveraging AI technology to make it easier for marketers to curate relevant and engaging social media content tailored for their audiences,” said Emplifi Chief Technology Officer Todd McCaslin. “OpenAI GPT-3 APIs have improved software performance and accuracy with iterative query and learning capabilities that streamline tasks and deliver insights to help professionals work more intelligently.” The goal is not to cut humans out of the process, said IDC Research Director Heather Hershey, but to “allow content creators to avoid the churn and burn-out associated with online ‘content farms.’ Marketing teams can spend less time rapidly generating content to appease social media algorithms and more time on strategy and quality engagements.”

STREAMING

Peacock captured a 1% share of total viewing time in the US for the first time in December, according to Nielsen’s The Gauge tracker. The Gauge pointed to Peacock’s December numbers corresponding with the success of Peacock Original “The Best Man: The Final Chapters,” released ahead of the Christmas holiday; Peacock also added Hallmark holiday content.

SiriusXM’s SXM App, which delivers more than 425 SiriusXM channels, is now available on VIZIO Smart TVs. “VIZIO users can now access their favorite on-the-go programs directly on the biggest screen in their homes,” said Katherine Pond, Group Vice President, Platform Content & Partnerships at VIZIO. “From podcasts to music, we are happy to bring SirusXM’s audio and video entertainment to millions of VIZIO users across the US.”
