ViacomCBS has changed its corporate name to Paramount Gobal (“or, more simply, Paramount”), effective today. ViacomCBS chair Shari Redstone and President/CEO Bob Bakish announced the news on Tuesday in a memo to staff, saying, “A global company deserved an iconic global name. One that reflects the power of our content; one that reflects our role as stewards of a rich heritage and as leaders in the future of entertainment.”
Meanwhile on Tuesday, back when it was still ViacomCBS, the company fell short of projected earnings for the fourth quarter, but had a rosy report nonetheless. Total company revenue increased 16% year-over-year in 4Q22, while quarterly global streaming revenue surged 48%, to $1.3 billion, driven by strength in subscription and advertising. “Our success was evident across all lines of business, and spotlighted by streaming, where we achieved our best quarter ever in streaming subscription growth – more than doubling our subscriber additions from last quarter with a record 9.4M additions, expanding our total global streaming subscribers to over 56M,” said Bakish. “And, to top it off, we saw meaningful acceleration in our global Pluto TV MAUs, to reach over 64M and generate over $1 billion in revenue in the year. This sets us up well for 2022, where I’m tremendously excited to continue to build on this powerful momentum – investing in global content, distribution, and market expansion – to further drive scale.”
ABC is taking low-rated freshman drama “Promised Land” off its programming slate. The show’s fifth episode on Monday will be its final on the network, with the remaining four episodes airing weekly on Hulu. The midseason premiere of “The Good Doctor,” initially set for spring, will air February 28.
NBCUniversal has unveiled NBCU Launch, an umbrella brand that will house DEI efforts across the company’s television portfolio. Led by Jeanne Mau, SVP, TV Programming Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, NBCU LAUNCH supports the company’s goal to produce authentic and compelling content. “We united the network and studio DEI efforts to accelerate our impact,” said Pearlena Igbokwe, Universal Studio Group Chairman and Susan Rovner, Entertainment Content Chairman. “Our new joint approach will create a clearer and more seamless pathway for meaningful and lasting change at our company, and hopefully, well beyond.”

SLICING & DICING SUPER BOWL AD SUCCESS
Crytpo brand Coinbase had the biggest “Day-Two” success post-Super Bowl, according to Decision augmentation company Signal AI. Coinbase was followed by Amazon, FTX, Crypto.com and Toyota. “When it comes to spending on the Super Bowl, advertisers are not just attempting to win during the event, but have an impact that delivers sustained media visibility,” said David Benigson, CEO and co-founder of Signal AI. “And thanks to both mainstream buzz as well as some highly memorable slots – like Coinbase’s QR code ad – the cryptocurrency industry clearly won the overall media battle.” Planet Fitness received the smallest boost in Day Two coverage.
In the first 24 hours of release, “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” teaser trailer scored 257 million online views across the globe, breaking the record for the most watched premiere of an entertainment trailer among those that have debuted during a Super Bowl telecast. That’s according to social analytics company WaveMetrix, whose CMO of Prime Video and Amazon Studios, Ukonwa Ojo, noted, “The Super Bowl was always designed as the ultimate payoff for fans; a teaser of this magnitude deserved to be debuted during the biggest annual television and sports event of the year.” The series premieres Friday, September 2.
Dolly Parton drove the most search of any celebrity in a Super Bowl ad this year, driving 25.4x more engagement than the median performing in-game celebrity ad appearance, according to EDO. In a T-Mobile spot titled, “PSA,” the opening seconds of the ad featured Parton’s name on the screen. Scarlett Johansson (“Black Widow”) came in second, for the Amazon Alexa spot co-starring her husband, “SNL” Weekend Updater Colin Jost (#5).
DISQO released its second annual ranking of Super Bowl ads by impact, looking at ad effectiveness in driving brand lift and action (search, site visits and shopping). Topping the list is TurboTax, followed by Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, Crypto.com, Nissan, Toyota, Google Pixel, Coinbase, DraftKings, and Michelob Ultra Organic Seltzer. Categories with clear and easy calls to action, especially ones that could be accomplished digitally, saw the biggest behavioral impacts immediately after the game: streaming services, financial services, cryptocurrency, and telecommunications, notes the report. Other categories may not have had as large behavioral lifts right after the game, but they saw an average brand impact that likely delivered on their advertising investment thesis since the purchases will happen in physical environments sometime in the future (CPG, Movies).
