IN THE NEWS

James Goldston is stepping down after seven years as President of ABC News, and 17 at the network. “It’s a really tough decision…but in recent times I’ve always assumed that after this extraordinary election cycle, which we’ve covered at a full sprint for four years, it would be time for a change,” he said in a note to staff. “After a great deal of reflection over the last few months, I’m ready for a new adventure….It’s been the honor and privilege of a lifetime to lead ABC News.” Goldston’s last day will be March 31.

Syndicated daytime talker “Nick Cannon” will launch nationally in fall 2021. Initially scheduled to make its debut in 2020, the Debmar-Mercury show was put on pause after “The Masked Singer” host drew criticism for comments made during his podcast that were deemed anti-Semitic. “It’s been a longtime dream of mine to host my own daytime talk show and that I’m able to do this in New York City, bringing daytime television back to the place that has fostered generations of talent, is very special to me,” said Cannon, who is also an executive producer. Fox Television Stations remain the anchor group.

Usage of “The Office” among Peacock users is high – maybe even higher than it was on Netflix, said NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell during the company’s 4Q20 earnings call. While Shell didn’t offer numbers (though Parrot Analytics reports that the first 3 days on its new home, demand for “The Office” was 39% higher compared to the last day it was available on Netflix), he said the comedy is driving viewership of other series, including “Parks & Recreation” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” “It’s kind of an ecosystem,” said Shell. “We can cross-promote people into different things.” As for quarterly data, Comcast reported Peacock has 33 million subscribers, up from 22 million last quarter, and revenue of $27.71 billion, beating analyst estimates. Broadcast TV revenue fell 12% versus the prior year.

Another topic broached during the Comcast call was the fate of the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, postponed last summer due to the pandemic. “Sitting here today, I believe there will be an Olympics. I hope there will be an Olympics,” said Comcast CEO Brian Roberts. “I think that is our best intelligence at this time.” And if the event doesn’t happen? “We have another Olympics coming in Beijing seven months later,” pointed out the exec.

Walmart Media has a new name – Walmart Connect – and the goal of becoming one of the top ten advertising platforms in the US over five years. The company is focusing on three strategic areas:
* Growing offerings across Walmart’s digital properties: Walmart Connect is utilizing the reach of its native digital properties to offer holistic campaigns including search and display media, across the digital shopper experience.
* Introducing innovative in-store experiences, including new omni capabilities that allow advertisers to reach the customers that shop Walmart’s physical stores.
* Expanding offsite media opportunities, at scale: Walmart Connect will be leveraging its first-party shopper data to drive media performance for sellers outside of Walmart’s proprietary sites. Walmart announced a partnership with The Trade Desk to launch demand-side platform for suppliers and their media and ad agencies in time for the 2021 holiday season.“We’ve built a substantial business that can serve clients in a way no one else can – as a closed loop omnichannel media company,” said Janey Whiteside, Chief Customer Officer.

Fox News Media has signed civil rights lawyer Leo Terrell as a contributor. Terrell will provide commentary and analysis across all platforms, including Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.

Season three will be the last for Disney XD’s “Big Hero 6: The Series,” with the show finale set for Monday, February 15. A spin-off, “Baymax!”, is in the works at Disney+, eyeing a 2022 debut.

Streaming services accounted for the most 2021 GLAAD Award nominations – 58 – with Netflix leading the pack at 26. Cable shows received a total of 29 nods, and broadcast earned 14. Winners will be announced in April.

Lily Collins (“Emily in Paris”) and Daveed Diggs (“Snowpiercer”) have been handed the task of announcing the nominees for the 27th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Thursday, February 4. They’ll break the news on the SAG Awards’ Instagram account.

Win the Trophy. Win the Industry.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

Nicole Kidman is attached to star in and executive produce

, via her Blossom Films, a series for Amazon Studios based on the Norwegian film “Hope.” The project is being adapted by Alice Bell, who will also EP.

Cream Productions announced the commission of “Bathsheba” from Blue Ant Media. The horror documentary special traces paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren back to the 1970s, and their encounters with Bathsheba Sherman, a 19th-century ghost. “Bathsheba” is helmed by an all-female creative team with Sunny Grewal (“History Erased”) as series producer, director and writer; Alexandra Pozdeeva (“Psycho Goreman) as production designer; and documentary filmmaker Robin Bicknell (“Haunted Hospitals”) as consultant. “Women are prime consumers of content, but they’re woefully underrepresented behind the camera,” said Kate Harrison Karman, President of Cream Productions. “With ‘Bathsheba,’ we are committing to change that narrative.”

Noah Baumbach inked a deal with Netflix that will have him exclusively write and direct films for the streamer. “When I started in the film industry I dreamed of having a home. It took me about 25 years but it was worth the wait,” said Baumbach, whose “The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)” and “Marriage Story” were Netflix projects.

Robert Irvine (“Restaurant: Impossible”) and Tom Farrell are co-producing “Hell or High Seas,” a 90-minute documentary film following a Navy veteran and an author in search of healing. Irvine and Farrell will also serve as executive producers; the film’s primary production and post-production company is FreshFly.

UK filmmaker Philippa Goslett (“Mary Magdalene”) has taken over as showrunner for HBO sci-fi drama “The Nevers,” replacing Joss Whedon. Whedon left in November, saying he was unable to meet “the physical challenges of making such a huge show during a global pandemic.”

Casting notes: Tim Robbins (“Mystic River”) will take over the lead role in Amazon thriller “The Power” that was originally cast with Rainn Wilson. Filming delays caused by the pandemic forced Wilson to drop out…Jaime Ray Newman (“Little Fires Everywhere”), Andrea Frankle (“Irresistible”) and Will Chase (“Nashville”) will recur on Hulu limited series “Dopesick.”…Zach Braff (“Scrubs”) is joining Gabrielle Union (“Being Mary Jane”) in Kenya Barris family comedy “Cheaper by the Dozen,” in the works at Disney+.

STREAMING

Global nonfiction streaming platform Documentary+ launched Thursday, as a home for feature-length and short documentary films. Documentary+ is a joint venture between nonfiction studio XTR and the late Tony Hsieh. “There has never been a more exciting time for nonfiction – we’re seeing visionary new directors emerge and streaming has given documentary films wide new global audiences,” said Bryn Mooser, co-founder of Documentary+ and CEO of XTR. “Not only are we building a home for some of the best documentary films of our time, but we’re giving filmmakers another option for distribution as competition continues to increase.”

“The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run,” bumped from a summer theatrical opening due to the pandemic, will be available at the launch of Paramount+ on March 4. Also available will be the first six episodes of prequel series “Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years.” Paramount+ is a rebrand and expansion of ViacomCBS SVOD CBS All Access.

Cricket Wireless and WWE struck a multi-year sponsorship that makes Cricket the co-presenting sponsor of “Royal Rumble,” streaming live at 7p on Sunday, January 31 on WWE Network. The deal will provide Cricket Wireless visibility and consumer engagement as the sponsor and exclusive wireless provider for WWE’s premier pay-per-view events, including “WrestleMania,” “SummerSlam,” “Survivor Series,” and “Royal Rumble.” Cricket also becomes the new presenting partner of the live Kickoff Shows, which take place prior to all four flagship events.

TECH TALK

Digitas and Weber Shandwick are the first ad agencies to join the Global Video Measurement Alliance, a coalition of companies that agree to a consistent approach to social media measurement using a standard-time, de-duplicated standard based on Tubular Audience Ratings. BBC Studios and WildBrain Spark have also come aboard, joining companies including Vice, GroupNine, Viacom, Discovery and Ellen Digital Network. “As media companies and brands alike navigate media disruption and seek younger audiences, we’re able to provide uniform metrics by which transparent comparison and performance evaluation can lead to increased investment and scale within digital video which is particularly popular with young adults – especially adults 18-34,” said Neil Patil, Chief Commercial Officer at Tubular Labs.

Lotame, provider of data enrichment solutions, reported 117.07% growth in US third-party data sales from 2Q20 to 3Q20. Q1 vs Q3, third-party data in the US had 76.24% growth. “The revenue growth shows that the shade and accusations of third-party data’s demise are false,” said Alexandra Theriault, Chief Customer Officer at Lotame. “Instead, third-party data thrives as a necessary complement to first-party data that simply doesn’t scale.” The most popular US audience segments that were purchased in Q3 2020 included in-market for computers and electronics; B2B C-suite; Hispanics or Spanish speakers; declared parents; and parents of teenagers. “The top five segments align with how consumer’s lives were changing in the US during Q3,” said Theriault. “With COVID surging, marketers pivoted to reach folks settling into a new routine of working at home and juggling childcare.”

The Coalition for Innovative Media Measurement released a study identifying best practices for integration of Set Top Box and Smart TV data, designed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of Smart TV and STB data and identify best practices for combining them at the household level. The research was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 findings included:
* General application of data beyond TV currency: At this time, virtually all applications of Set Top Box and Smart TV ACR are geared for attribution, measurement, optimization and campaign management versus the creation of new audience measurement currency.
* Sample size versus representativeness: Some providers and processors in the analysis make data available from the matched portion of their data sets without modeling the remaining consumers. The rationale offered for this approach is that matched sample sizes are sufficiently large and representative to assess results, but the study found this assumes that demographics account for viewing differences between matched sample and unmatched sample.
* TV data processing, while not standardized across data providers and third-party firms, is far more systematized within individual organizations versus 3-5 years ago. Procedures for data ingestion, integration and formatting are in place as well as are editing rules.The study was conducted for CIMM by Pre-Meditated Media and Janus Strategy and Insights.
