 A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM NBC UNIVERSO


NBC UNIVERSO
America’s Cable Channel for Latinos
Mas Deportes, Series, Acción
Exclusive Spanish-language broadcast of SUPER BOWL XLIX
Feb 1, 2015
NBCUNIVERSO.COM
.

E!’s first scripted drama, The Royals is getting a Super Bowl-size push ahead of its Sunday, March 15 debut. Elizabeth Hurley and the cast will appear in what the net calls a 30-second “mini movie” during the game, promoting the series about a scandal-plagued royal family.

IN THE NEWS

 
A new study from Beta Research asked a national sample of cable operators which of 18 emerging/digital nets (less than 50 million subscribers) they most want to carry. Among total operators, Sony Movie Channel topped the list with 30 percent interested, followed by Fusion (21 percent), Fox Sports 2 (20 percent) and BBC World News, Crime & Investigation Network, Cloo and Lifetime Real Women, each with 19 percent interest. The survey was done pre-Sony hacking scandal – will that help or hurt SMC? Andrew Klein, president, Cable TV Division, tells Cynopsis, “After the heavy media coverage, operator interest and awareness of Sony Movie Channel are likely to increase further.” As for runner-up Fusion, “Results suggest that Fusion is likely to achieve significant increase in carriage in the next 12 months.”

Rita Moreno (West Side Story) is joining the cast of CW’s Jane the Virgin. TVLine reports the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony winner will play Jane’s paternal grandmother, “Glam-ma.”

After Sunday’s competition averaged a best-ever 2.7 million viewers on Telemundo,
Univision Communications and NBCUniversal struck along-term partnership with Donald Trump and Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, for Spanish-language television and digital rights for the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants. Univision will co-produce.

Oxygen’s new competition series Street Art Throwdown is getting into the Super Bowl spirit ahead of its Tuesday, February 3 at 9p premiere. Today and tomorrow, Oxygen is hosting a fan-driven interactive activation outside the convention center at theNFL Fan Experience. Street artists are creating football-themed murals every day leading up to the game, culminating with a live-painting of a large Super Bowl XLIX-themed mural on Saturday. “Working with the NFL and NBC Sports is a perfect fit for Street Art Throwdown,” Justin BUA, host, exec producer and co-judge tells Cynopsis. “Street art, like football, is high-octane visually arresting poetry. Both are supremely competitive and at the same time require a ridiculous amount of talent. This activation is going to not only represent the best of these worlds, it’s also going to be fun and inclusive.”

Cynopsis Exclusive: Roberto Ruiz has been named anchor of Azteca America’s two flagship nightly newscasts, Hechos Nacional Tarde, at at 6:30p, and Hechos Nacional Noche, at 11p. Both newscasts will be aired exclusively in the United States, focusing on news and events that affect U.S. Hispanics. Prior to this new role, Ruiz was news anchor for Azteca America’s national news program Azteca America West Coast. “Roberto has been a tremendous asset to Azteca America since he first joined our network,” said Manuel Abud, President, CEO, Azteca America.“He has a clear understanding and passion for the news and events that are important to our viewers, especially those that now call the U.S. their home.

I Am Juli, from TIA Productions, was the winner of The International Fusion Documentary Challenge, a competition that asked young filmmakers to create docs no longer than 7 minutes in five days from start to finish.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

Thinkfactory Media announced the launch of Incufactory, a new branch offering pod deals to executive producers/showrunners. “Thinkfactory Media will be able to offer a highly incentivized deal to producers,” EVP Adam Reed, who’s overseeing the project, tells Cynopsis. “The ultimate goal is to create a mutually beneficial partnership that provides producers with the necessary tools to launch their own companies off of the backbone of our collective success as a team. Infucatory will be a true incubator, wherein we can help foster the growth of other businesses as opposed to solely being focused on our own.”

Code Black has a put pilot commitment from CBS. Drama from ABC Studios and CBS Television Studios, based on the Ryan McGarry doc, is set in LA County Hospital’s ER. The net also ordered divorced dad comedy The Half of It, written and exec produced by Mike Gibbons, co-exec producer of CBS’s coming-in-March Late Late Show With James Corden.

HBO ordered comedy pilot Brothers in Atlanta, exec produced by Lorne Michaels and written by, exec produced and starring Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’s Diallo Riddle and Bashir Salahuddin. SNL alum Maya Rudolph and Jaden Smith (After Earth) will guest star. Riddle and Salahuddin were writers on Rudolph’s Michaels-produced NBC variety special, The Maya Rudolph Show.

COMING UP

 
As couch coaches ponder the physics of pigskin leading up to the Super Bowl, Science Channel is jumping in with a timely episode of How It’s Made.
“Through all of the Deflate-Gate press conferences, conspiracy theories, explanations, analysis and posts one thing has been overlooked – the assembly and creation of footballs,” Rita Mullin, Science GM, tells Cynopsis.“Here’s to hoping Science Channel can lend some much needed clarity to football fans during this inflated controversy.” The special also takes a look a beer helmets and mascots, starting tonight at 10p, airing again Saturday, January 31 at 1p and 6:30p, and Sunday, February 1 at 11a, 5p and 10p.

Nat Geo WILD is playing “Would You Rather?” with viewers, putting February’s Wednesday programming up for a vote on Facebook (Facebook.com/NatGeoWILD) and Twitter (@NatGeoWild). Starting February 4, from 811p the winning theme programming goes live. “We created a stunt that gives our viewers a real chance to play with us in a totally fun, more engaging, and socially switched on way than ever before,” Geoff Daniels, EVP & GM, tells Cynopsis. “Viewers want more control of their television experiences and this lets them choose exactly which animals they want to see the most and…go wild.”

But first, there’s Groundhog Day. Monday, February 2 features the special American Beaver airing each hour of the day starting at 7a.

Oxygen offers “Two Weeks of Real Love” heading into Valentine’s Day. Starting Monday, February 2 at 6p, romance-themed movies will air every night through Saturday, February 14. First up: Good Luck Chuck.

Families in hock are the focus of Family Takeover, picked up by Spike TV for a fall debut. Reality series from Ugly Brother Studio features a Fortune 500 business expert working to bring fiscal chaos under control – a scenario that could bring shudders to either sex. And that’s pretty much the point. “Family Takeover is extremely relevant to our growing gender-balanced audience,” said Sharon Levy, EVP, original series. “Financial distress can happen to any family.”

WNBA stars Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson shop for wedding dresses in the first of two back-to-backs episodes of TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta on Friday, January 30 at 10p. It’s no slam dunk, though: the bride’s “worst fears are realized” at the fitting.

Season two of Discovery Networks International’s Extreme Car Hoarders launches in over 220 countries and territories in April. 6 x 60’ series is produced by Discovery Studios.

Supernatural thriller Salem returns to WGN America on Sunday, April 5 at 10p. Season two features Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) and Stuart Townsend (Betrayal) as recurring as guest stars.

BRANDS & ADVERTISING

GoDaddy didn’t get the chuckles it hoped for when it released its Super Bowl ad early. Toying with Budweiser’s precious puppy theme, the ad features Buddy, a plucky golden retriever separated from his family who finds his way home – only to be sold via his owner’s website. Responding to outrage from animal lovers, GoDaddy quickly decided to yank the commercial. “You’ll still see us in the Big Game this year, and we hope it makes you laugh,” said a post on the company website. As for Buddy? “He’s now part of the GoDaddy family as our Chief Companion Officer. He’s been adopted permanently by one of our longtime employees.” Bud’s puppy spot, on the other hand, will air – complete with Clydesdales.

During a soft 4Q14 for ad spending, cable nets added an average 7 percent more commercials during the period, according to a MoffettNathanson report. Cable groups increasing commercial supply included Viacom (13 percent), A&E (10 percent) and Discovery Communications (9 percent), according to TiVo research data.

CASTING

Tyler James (The Walking Dead) joins Gary Sinise in the Criminal Minds planted spinoff focused on a division of the FBI that helps American citizens abroad. James will play a tech analyst.

CASTING CALL: ABC’s hit series Extreme Weight Loss is back for season 6 and seeking celebrities who want to use their influence to nominate & support a friend, relative or even a fan along their weight loss journey. If you are a public figure and want to pay it forward, contact Casting Director, Lindsay at [email protected] (2/5)
