IN THE NEWS

Grupo Televisa and Univision have completed a joint venture deal to form TelevisaUnivision, combining content from both broadcasters. “This combination will create a business without comparison in the global media landscape,” said TelevisaUnivision CEO Wade Davis. “Over the past year both companies have transformed themselves, reaching levels of financial performance and audience resonance that has not been seen for years.” On the way is an advertising-based Spanish-language streaming platform, slated to debut in the first half of 2022, with a subscription-based product in the second half of the year.

ABC Owned Television Stations launched new 24/7 live and local streaming channels, offering news, weather and more from WABC New York; KABC Los Angeles; WPVI Philadelphia; WLS Chicago; KTRK Houston; KGO San Francisco; WTVD Raleigh-Durham, N.C.; and KFSN Fresno, GA, as well as content from ABC’s lifestyle platform Localish. “The launch of our 24/7 live and local streaming channels answers the call of our audiences who want more options and ways to view their favorite news and shows,” said Chad Matthews, President, ABC Owned Television Stations.

Rachel Maddow will take a hiatus from her MSNBC primetime show to work on other projects. Guest hosts will take Maddow’s place during the break, expected to last a few weeks.

Publicis Media announced the launch of a “consciously inclusive marketplace,” DIME (diverse and inclusive media exchange), aimed at providing better access to diverse publishers serving underrepresented communities, and existing publishing partners that adhere to Publicis’ set of inclusive values. Incubated at its Spark Foundry unit, DIME is also available to clients of its Starcom and Zenith units. Publicis has partnered with independent news and information verification service NewsGuard to ensure the publishers it works with “adhere to responsible journalism to further strengthen the marketplace.”

The New York Times has purchased online word game “Wordle.” The game, released to the public in October 2021 and played by millions of people (and, we’re guessing, many Cynopsis readers), will join the Times’ Games portfolio, and continue to be free of charge. Wordle creator Josh Wardle – now wealthier by seven figures – tweeted that he is working with the Times “to make sure your wins and streaks will be preserved.”

DISTRIBUTION

AMC Networks and Comcast Cable inked a new, multi-year distribution agreement. “We are excited to continue and also expand our longstanding partnership with Comcast through a new agreement that includes not only continued carriage of our cable networks, but also our fast-growing targeted streaming services including AMC+, which was made available first to Xfinity customers,” said Josh Reader, President of Distribution and Development for AMC Networks. “2022 will be the biggest year of original programming in our company’s history, and Comcast’s Xfinity customers will have a front row seat for every second of it.”

Circle Network struck a new distribution agreement with the National Cable Television Cooperative. “Our distribution with NCTC opens up the door to hundreds of new independent cable and broadband companies,” said Circle Network GM Drew Reifenberger. Circle Network currently reaches 100+ US markets.
