Good morning. It’s Tuesday, March 4, 2014, and this is your first early morning digital briefing.
French pay-TV giant Canal Plus acquired Studio Bagel, YouTube’s top French comedy network with six million subscribers and 40 million monthly views. "Studio Bagel was looking for ways to provide additional means to its numerous talents, as well as new opportunities to showcase their work in innovative TV or movie formats," Bagel CEO Lorenzo Benedetti told Advanced Television. Last year, Canal Plus bought just under five percent of Maker Studios.
Nielsen and video ad platform Videology announced a new partnership yesterday, which allows broadcasters and advertisers to find TV audience online in a single platform. "With the television upfront season fast approaching, advertisers and agencies are asking how they can more holistically incorporate video into their television strategies," Videology CEO Scott Ferber told Cynopsis. "The underpinning for this type of analysis requires an established data source and common metrics that align with the way television is bought and sold today. Our expanded integration with Nielsen helps to do just that, by providing a single platform that brings the worlds of television and video together for planning, buying and measuring… "
… Speaking of Nielsen, A new study from Nielsen and Simulmedia, "The Data-Driven Future of Video Advertising," says that while "the tale of two silos is coming to an end," the difference between the relationship-based process of buying and selling ads for TV, versus the programmatic way many online decisions are made is significant. "Building and managing trust between buyers, sellers and third parties will play a significant role in determining the way television and online video advertising eventually come together," said the report. Conclusions were based on discussions with industry thought leaders.
Online TV may not be the answer to live events, as ABC learned during its live stream of Sunday’s Academy Awards. Quartz reported the stream on ABC’s sites and mobile apps constantly cut out, and Twitter was aflame with complaints. CTV‘s live stream also took a nosedive, and even the network notoriously known for live streaming TV, Aereo, had problems during the award ceremony…
… Aereo, by the way, got some bad news from the United States government. In a brief filed Monday, the government said Aereo, which captures over-the-air signals via antennas to distribute to its subscribers, "must obtain licenses to perform the copyrighted content on which its business relies." Court case begins April 22.

Talk about a growth spurt. The children’s tablet market is bursting with an array of devices designed specifically for young handlers. Two years ago, only 8% of kids had access to a tablet at home; today that number has swelled to more than 40%.
Jimmy Kimmel provided his unique spin to the Oscars, by dreaming up what YouTube’s most viral videos would look like as major motion picture trailers with the help from Hollywood stars. In one of the fake trailers, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Catherine Zeta Jones, Samuel L. Jackson and Seth Rogan combine YT hits David After Dentist and Double Rainbow. Other videos include Queen Latifah making Sweet Brown Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That into a movie trailer, and Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep and both Liam and Chris Hemsworth turning YT’s Charlie Bit My Finger into a movie titled Bitman Begins.
