IN THE NEWS

 
Viacom CEO Bob Bakish informed shareholders at a meeting that “a new strategic vision and framework” would be unveiled on Thursday, when financial results for 4Q16 come out. While he said other companies “would kill for our brand,” Bakish acknowledged, “some of our networks need better ratings, and we will get them.”

Fox News’ election year windfall and baseball helped revenue at 21st Century Fox rise 4 percent in 3Q16, with Television Segment revenues up 11.7 percent from the same period in 2015. “Our record-breaking post-season baseball run underscores the immense value of our sports programming, as well as the broader competitive advantage we have built through our other leadership positions in entertainment and news,” executive chairmen Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch said in a joint statement.

Bravo is unveiling a brand refresh today, tied to the debut of its new scripted drama, Imposters. In addition to a new, cleaner logo, changes include a “bright and fun” gender neutral color palette, and the end of the “By Bravo” tagline. Seven years after the net last changed its look, the goal is to “reflect our growth and how we’ve evolved.”

Dish TV has launched a “Tuned In To You” campaign aimed at combating low customer satisfaction with pay-TV. “Customers just want to be heard in an industry that has forsaken its ability to listen,” said Erik Carlson, Dish president and COO. “‘Tuned In To You’ is more than a marketing slogan. It’s a company-wide rallying cry and a long-term business philosophy.” The initiative includes TV spots featuring a “spokeslistener,” immersive training of corporate employees to gain practical experience with customers, and feedback forms across every Dish.com web page. Dish lost upwards of 420,000 customers during the first three quarters of 2016.

Nextstar is beefing up its Washington news bureau with the hires of a bureau chief, an executive producer and three additional reporters, for its 171 stations in 100 markets. Media General, purchased last month by Nexstar for $4.6 billion, already had a five-person bureau in place there.

Raycom Media owned stations WALB-TV in Albany, Georgia, and WDAM-TV in Hattiesburg, Mississippi raised more than $585,000 to help people affected by recent deadly tornadoes. “When our communities are in need, Raycom Media stations respond,” said Raycom Media President and CEO Pat LaPlatney.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

Jenny Bicks (Sex and the City) reunites with HBO and Sarah Jessica Parker as exec producer and showrunner for season 2 of Divorce, part of an overall deal with the premium cable net, reports Deadline. Bicks replaces Paul Simms, who left over creative differences. 

Ken Ehrlich extended his contract with the Recording Academy to produce the Grammys through 2020. “He has played a critical role in shaping the Grammy Awards over the past 37 years,” said Recording Academy president/CEO Neil Portnow. The 2017 trophyfest airs Sunday, February 12 at 8p.

POLITICAL PLAYS

The Kremlin took issue with Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly’s characterization of Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a killer” during his pre-Super Bowl interview with President Donald Trump. “We consider such words from the Fox TV company to be unacceptable and insulting,” a Kremlin spokesman told reporters on Monday. “We would prefer to get an apology from such a respected company.” (During the talk with O’Reilly, Trump responded to the killer comment by saying, “What, do you think our country’s so innocent?”)

It appears Sean Spicer can take a joke. Asked on Fox & Friends about Melissa McCarthy’s portrayal of him on Saturday Night Live, the White House press secretary said of the skewering, “It was cute, it’s funny,” and “part of American culture.” Though he also admitted he’d prefer to talk about the issues.

About a half hour after CNN released a poll on Monday that indicated most Americans oppose Trump’s executive order on travel ban, the president tweeted, “Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election. Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting.”

Like it or not, Donald Trump’s tweets keep making headlines. Valid news, or enough already? Let us know in the new Cynopsis poll: http://cynopsis.com/poll/

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway responded to a report in the New York Times that CNN declined to have her as a guest on Sunday’s State of the Union by tweeting, “False. I could do no live Sunday shows this week BC of family. Plus, I was invited onto CNN today & tomorrow. CNN Brass on those emails.” Or not – CNN Communications wrote back, “@KellyannePolls was offered to SOTU on Sunday by the White House. We passed. Those are the facts.”

Travel Channel’s Big Time RV returns with back-to-back episodes on Sunday, March 5 at 9p, followed at 10p by new series Boat Buyers. The premiere follows a family searching for a vessel that will get them afloat in north Texas.

ADVERTISING

National total day ad sales for Super Bowl Sunday on Fox hit over $500 million, according to iSpot.tv. That includes revenue from four extra spots that aired during overtime: Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale and Sprint’s “Car” ad, which had aired earlier in the game, as well as new ads for Proactiv and SoFi, which also ran postgame. Despite the fact that a Super Bowl had never gone into overtime, Fox had negotiated just-in-case overtime ad spots, reports Adweek.

The Super Bowl broadcast had 51 minutes and 30 seconds of advertising and promos, making it the second most cluttered ever, reported Kantar Media, with ads taking up 23 percent of the broadcast (versus 21 percent in NFL regular season game). Anheuser-Busch InBev was the parent company with the most ad time (3:30 minutes), while auto was the lead category, with 8 spots and 7 minutes of ad time.

Bai Brands’ Super Bowl commercial, featuring Christopher Walken and Justin Timberlake, topped TiVo’s list of most engaging commercials, based on retention compared to overall program viewership. Kia ranked second, followed by It’s a 10 Haircare, T-Mobile, Honda and Anheuser-Busch.

TVision, which measures in room attention to TV ads with computer vision technology, ranked Hyundai the top ad, followed by Twentieth Century Fox, Skittles, Busch Beer, GoDaddy and Snickers.

McCann New York’s “Bad Romance” ad for National Geographic was chosen as winner of the “Super Clio,” an initiative from the Clio Awards that determines the Super Bowl’s best spot as chosen by a panel of creative leaders. “This spot was an incredible opportunity for us to reach the largest TV audience of the year and also a way to reintroduce our brand philosophy to push boundaries, go further and be pioneering in everything we do,” said Jill Cress, CMO, National Geographic Partners. “It allowed us to show a broader audience that we can take a topic like Albert Einstein and make it relevant, timely and create a global conversation around our series Genius, and the National Geographic brand in general.”

DISTRIBUTION

Nippon TV is packing 5 new formats for MIP 2017. Scripted fare includes Your Home Is My Business and Lost ID, in addition to unscripted Meet Me There, Ghostwriter to the Rescue and Grab the Chance.

Content Media Corporation and CNN Films acquired broadcast rights for the film Elian, the story of Elian Gonzalez, the 5-year-old boy whose custody battle between his Cuban father and Miami-based relatives turned into a political fight.

Studio 100 Media sold the CGI animated series Nils Holgersson to Discovery Kids, India. The agreement gives Discovery exclusive TV rights.

DIGITAL DOINGS

 
9 Story Media Group secured several deals with digital platforms for the animated shorts series Sweet Tweets, aimed at babies, toddlers and preschoolers. The series of shorts premiered on YouTube as a digital-first property and has recently been picked up by digital platforms including Toon Goggles (U.S.), Curious World (worldwide), Homer (worldwide) and Future Today (worldwide).

Individual episodes and seasons of HBO content will join FandangoNOW’s catalog, including Game of Thrones, Girls, Insecure, The Night Of, and more. The on demand video service is distributed on an install base of over 100 million devices.

Snapchat is less social media than “reality TV, starring people you know,” suggests an article in the Wall Street Journal, noting that with clips strung together to make stories that often last several minutes, users get the “lean back” experience of watching TV, versus the “lean forward” feel of participating in social media. David Bernath, GM of Comedy Central, a launch partner on the first version of Snapchat’s Discover section, called the content “the millennial skinny bundle.” The WSJ piece also notes similarities in the business models for Snapchat and TV, with video ads that look like television commercials.

GOING GLOBAL

 
ZDFneo will serve as a co-production partner with SAM Productions for crime thriller Below the Surface. ZDFneo is the digital channel of German public broadcaster ZDF, aimed at audience age 25 to 49. Originally commissioned by Discovery Networks Denmark for Kanal 5, where the series will debut later this spring, the drama will also air on Kanal 5 in Sweden and TV Norge in Norway, and broadcast on Iceland’s RUV. Studiocanal handles worldwide distribution.

Canadian animation studio Mercury Filmworks has joined forces with Kilkenny-based animation studio Cartoon Saloon to create an all-new 2D-focused animation studio in Ireland, Lighthouse Studios.The joint venture, supported by Ireland’s Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland will create over 140 jobs in the next three years.

UK production company Raw has been commissioned by ITV to produce a third  season of documentary series Heathrow: Britain’s Busiest Airport. Season 2 drew 4.1 million viewers.

RATINGS

The New England Patriots’ overtime win against the Atlanta Falcons Sunday delivered an average audience of 111.1 million viewers to Fox, according to Nielsen, plus 650,000 on Fox Deportes. Last year’s game, between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos, scored 111.9 million.

President Trump’s pre-Super Bowl interview on Fox with Bill O’Reilly delivered 12 million viewers, versus 22 million for President Obama’s first pre-game chat, and 17.3 million for O’Reilly’s interview with Obama in 2011.

For the month of January, Discovery notes it was cable’s #1 non-sports network among M18-49 and M25-54. The network had its highest rated January Mondays since 2014 across P25-54, M25-54, P18-49, and P18-34 and also scored its 2nd-highest rated January Wednesdays ever among P25-54.

ID earned bragging rights, too – the net began 2017 as the #1 network in ad-supported cable for total day delivery of W25-54 and #2 for P25-54 (behind ESPN).

January was ID’s best month ever in prime for P2+ (1.267 million), HH (1.037 million), P25-54 (523,000), W25-54 (354,000), P18-49 (413,000) and W18-49 (277,000) delivery in L+3 viewing.

The winter season premiere Freeform’s The Fosters rose in the L+3 preferred viewing ratings stream for its best season premiere in over one and a half years in A18-34 and W18-34, for its No. 2 telecast overall since its cliff-hanger summer 2015 finale in the key target demos.

TV One’s Rickey Smiley For Real experienced a season best, up 18% among P25-54 versus its premiere season; the third season finale was up 15% to 298,000 in the demo versus the second season finale. For the night, the Season 3 ender was the #2 original series premiere telecast on ad-supported cable in prime among AA W25-54 and AA W/M 18-49.
