Dick Wolf signed a new overall deal with NBCUniversal that extends his relationship with NBC through 2020 – but it won’t end there if NBC can help it. Robert Greenblatt made no secret of his appreciation for the iconic producer’s contribution. “Dick Wolf is a without a doubt one of the greatest producers in the history of dramatic television,” said the NBC Entertainment chairman. “The Law & Order legacy would have been enough to set him apart from all the rest, but the Chicago franchise now kicks him into the stratosphere.He has been a defining voice of NBC for over a generation, and he is most welcome at this company forever.” The net also renewed Law & Order: SVU, and picked up season two of Chicago P.D.
It’s official: comScore’s acquisition of Rentrak is complete. “This merger brings together two great entrepreneurial companies that invented their respective fields and their respective trusted currencies,” said Serge Matta, CEO of comScore. “Both have been driven to create innovative technology platforms that use massive data scale to measure increasingly fragmented consumer behavior.” In the U.S., ComScore will measurebehavior on more than 260 million desktop screens, 160 million mobile phone screens, 95 million tablet screens, 40 million television screens and 120 million video-on-demand screens. The deal was announced in September.

A letter from Fox Networks chairman and CEO Peter Rice alerted staff that as part of a reorganization, some employees would be offered “generous benefit packages” if they voluntarily resigned, effective in May. Rice pointed out that while the company is basking in the success right now of Grease: Live, The X-Files, the NFC Championship and its partnership with National Geographic, “This is the right thing to do for our business because although technology is rapidly changing our world, the global hunger for our brands and content will continue unabated and making the right decisions now will provide our company with many exciting opportunities for continued growth and success.”
The NFL is expanding Thursday Night Football in 2016 and 2017, continuing its partnership with CBS while adding NBC as a partner.

The NFL is also “in active discussions” with potential partners for OTT streaming rights.

Most networks tout their swelling production schedule. National Geographic Global Networks is fired up to produce fewer shows. Come again? CEO Courteney Monroe outlined her vision at Realscreen on Monday in DC. In short, the company is thinking big, eschewing “tonnage” and embracing premium content. “The word premium is new to our vocabulary and we’re going to get there by producing fewer but more distinctive programming. High-quality, bigger budget, really creatively ambitious programming in partnership with A-list creative talent,” said Monroe. “Our strategy over the past few years was defined by volume. We’re inverting that a bit. We are focusing on quality over quantity, but we have no preconceived notions about the hours we are planning to produce.” Monroe pointed to upcoming Morgan Freeman-shepherded Story of God, which premieres April 3, and series Mars (from Imagine Entertainment and Radical Media), and planet earth probeOne Strange Rock as content that define the network’s current vision. Nat Geo is also returning to feature documentaries including an upcoming Jane Goodall doc helmed by Brett Morgen (Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck) that will feature contents of 200 canisters of never-seen Goodall film Morgen uncovered.
Just say Yes: Producers and networks in the nonscripted realm need to stop using the word derivative, and start thinking of imitation as the sincerest form of flattery. “If viewers like it, why not make a clone if it? HGTV is Househunters sliced a bunch of different ways,” Scripps’ Kathleen Finch said during Realscreen panel The New Normal. “When you’ve figured out who your audience is, super-serving them that content is a winning game, especially because the repeat business has gotten so much softer.” Echoed SallyAnn Salsano, president of 495 Productions, “We have to stop saying the word derivative. Start saying sweet spot.” It’s important to assess all the angles, noted Brent Montgomery, CEO of ITV America. “When we break a brand, we want to monetize that brand. But when we get a call and someone says it’s a derivate from a buyer, that’s a negative.”
The main difference between scripted and unscripted? “It runs a lot slower, and it’s a writer’s medium. In scripted you’re only as good as your writer,” said Jimmy Fox, EVP of Objective Productions USA, who’s at work on The Arrangement, about a Hollywood contract marriage, E!’s second scripted series. “E! said after The Royals they wanted to do stuff that was soapy, with a Hollywood backdrop and they wouldn’t mind something darker,” he said… Best pitching advice from Leslie Greif, CEO of Thinkfactory (think, Hatfields and McCoys): “Listen to what all the network execs want, give them what they want with your own unique point of view, and understand the network executives want a hit, too. Go make that executive a hero.”
Loud TV (Tiny House Nation), part of Leftfield Entertainment and ITV America, and Canada-based Frantic Films (Still Standing) forged a strategic partnership to develop and produce programming for the U.S. and Canadian markets. The deal was signed at Realscreen.
Media General renewed Hollywood Live Today for a second season, after Fox Television Stations gave the thumbs up. “The show is energetic and relevant, and fits well with our lineup,” said Stephen Brown, EVP of programming and development for Fox Television Stations. Garcelle Beauvais (The Jamie Foxx Show) was named a new co-host on the news, gossip and lifestyle show from Media General’s BiteSize TV.
