IN THE NEWS

Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, and Fox Corp. board member Paul Ryan are among those who could be forced to testify in Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation suit against Fox News. Said Delaware Judge Eric M. Davis on Wednesday, “If Dominion wants to bring them live, they need to do a trial subpoena and I would not quash it and I would compel them to come.” Dominion claims it was defamed by FNC when hosts and guests claimed in 2020 that its voting systems illegally rigged the election. Fox News told the judge it plans to make available hosts Tucker Carlson, Maria Bartiromo, Sean Hannity, and Bret Baier, as well as Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and President Jay Wallace to testify in person. Davis warned that January 6 riot, which occurred after the alleged defamation of Dominion, is not relevant “and should be stayed away from.” The trial is scheduled to start April 17.

Showtime’s last late-night series, “Ziwe,” has been canceled after two seasons. The net’s “Desus & Mero” wrapped last year after its hosts decided to “pursue separate creative endeavors.”

Fox News Channel was the most-watched cable news network during coverage of former President Donald Trump’s arraignment on Tuesday, according Nielsen numbers. From 1:30-3:30p, FNC averaged 3215,000 viewers and 469,000 in A25-54, also topping ABC and CBS. During NYC district attorney Alvin Bragg’s address from 4-4:30p, FNC remained the highest-rated network in viewers, delivering 3,231,000 viewers and 448,000 in the news demo. From 8:15-9p, during “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” FNC averaged 6.7 million viewers and 1,134,000 among A24-54 as Trump spoke from Mar-a-Lago.

Nominees for the “2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards” were announced, with “Stranger Things,” “The Last of Us,” “The White Lotus,” Wednesday,” “Wolf Pack,” “Yellowstone” and “Yellowjackets” competing for best show. Among other categories are Best Fight, Best Kick-Ass Cast, Best Kiss and Most Frightened Performance. Fan-voted winners will be announced at the awards ceremony Sunday, May 7 at 8p.

Telemundo morning show “Hoy Dia” is adding a fourth hour beginning Monday, April 10. The new format will run from 7a-11a.

Frontier has dropped Newsmax, Fuse and FM from its lineup, citing the cost of programming. “With the announcement that Frontier is moving away from being a video content provider, we look forward to exploring our distribution options with their video partners,” said Fuse Media said in a statement. As for Newsmax, “Frontier’s decision was clearly political, because they will lose far more money in cancellations and lost business without Newsmax,” said the network.

Apple TV+ handed an early season two renewal for “The Big Door Prize,” starring Chris O’Dowd. The comedy is now streaming on Apple TV+, with new episodes dropping on every Wednesday. Produced by Skydance Television, the second season of “The Big Door Prize” is now in production.

Hemisphere Media Group has reached an agreement to expand distribution of CentroAméricaTV, the channel dedicated to the Central American community in the US. The network is available on DIRECTV’s Spanish-language package Más Latino. CentroAméricaTV was already part of DIRECTV’s Óptimo Más package.

TECH TALK

Two out of three advertisers are considering using metaverse and AR advertising within the next year, according to a new Advertising Research Foundation study using insights from Advertiser Perceptions. Additional findings from the analysis include:
* Marketers are more likely than agencies to use AR, VR and the Metaverse in the next 12 months; 77% said they will use one of these three formats within the next year. Comparatively, 59% of agencies planned to use these channels, with many instead preferring in-game advertising (64%), where the perceived costs of production are lower.
* Audience engagement (41%) and the ability to reach younger audiences (38%) were seen as the top benefits to utilizing AR/VR/Metaverse technology.
* Performance is a potential barrier to adoption: Lack of proof of performance of VR/AR/Metaverse is the top challenge for agencies and marketers (33%), followed by inadequate reach (28%) and possessing the ability to reach the same consumers effectively with other ad formats (28%).
* Virtual advertising techniques are led by branded content (67%), followed by sponsorship, product placement and influencers, each totaling 56%.
