IN THE NEWS

Media groups are calling on Congress to provide support to local news media in the next stimulus bill. The News Media Alliance, National Association of Broadcasters, National Newspaper Association and America’s Newspapers want Congress to ensure the ability of local media to seek relief under the Paycheck Protection Program, and to fund federal advertising spending on local media. “Local news provides reliable, fact-based information that is absolutely critical to communities, particularly during events like the COVID-19 crisis,” said News Media Alliance President & CEO David Chavern. “However, the rapidly contracting ad market in response to the pandemic is dealing a sharp and immediate blow to local news publishing. If this continues, there won’t be local journalism in many communities.”

NBC’s Saturday Night Live will be back with original content on April 11 at 11:30p, produced remotely and with social distancing. Segments will include “Weekend Update,” as well as elements from other cast members.

Also back: Tiger King, with an after show hosted by Joel McHale dropping on Netflix Sunday, April 12. Tiger King and I will feature new interviews with the docu-series’ cast of characters including John Reinke, Joshua Dial, John Finlay and Jeff and Lauren Low, among others.

Vice President Pence’s office is blocking top health officials from appearing on CNN, reports the news net, because it has not been airing the daily White House press briefings in full. CNN often only airs the first portion of the briefing, usually with President Trump, then returns to news anchors. “When you guys cover the briefings with the health officials then you can expect them back on your air,” CNN said it was told by a Pence spokesman.

Just because more people are watching the news, doesn’t mean more people approve of it, according to a poll from the Knight Foundation/Gallup Poll. As in 2018 and 2019 polls, 34% of Americans have a very or somewhat favorable of the media now, despite an increase of 13% in attention to national and international news. “Despite the spike in news attention, general attitudes toward the media remain unchanged,” said the study.

No-pain knockouts: FaceBank Group, Floyd Mayweather and ONE Entertainment Group formed a joint venture to create and manage the retired boxing champ’s digital likeness. One project in the works pits Mayweather’s digital likeness against other boxing legends in virtual match-ups, which will be exclusive to live TV streaming platform fuboTV and pay-per-view partners to be announced. FaceBank and fuboTV merged last week.

Nielsen and E.W. Scripps inked a multiyear agreement for measurement services for the Scripps television stations. The deal includes Nielsen’s Local TV Measurement, Nielsen Scarborough, NLTV, Ad Intel, Arianna and Nielsen Grabix. “As local measurement becomes increasingly complex, we are pleased to include Nielsen data in the comprehensive suite of tools we deploy across all of our markets,” said Brian Lawlor, President of Llocal Media at Scripps. “With Nielsen as our partner, we are confident Scripps will continue to provide the highest level of service and expertise to our viewers, our advertising partners and the communities we serve.”

How much of a hit might cable take if live sports remain shut down due to coronavirus concerns? Two thirds of cable subscribers surveyed said live sports were a “significant” reason for signing up, according to a survey of 1003 cable subscribers by Mindnet Analytics. Fourteen percent said the current lack of major live sports could have “big” impact on whether they keep their cable subscription, while 15.4% claimed to be “very likely” to cancel if the NFL season is postponed.

With Grey’s Anatomy’s season cut short due to the COVID-19 crisis

Building A Super-Bond with Audiences During the Pandemic
Thursday, April 30 | 1:30-3:00PM ET

As live sports events and TV productions are being cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak, it’s critical for marketers and rights holders to be on top of their game in strengthening their connections with audience. The people have not disappeared, so where are they going during lockdown? How are they engaging?

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

Landmark Studio Group is developing spy drama series The Operative, created by Noah Nelson (CSI: New York, Hawaii Five-0), with Craig T. Nelson (Grace and Frankie, Coach) set to star as a retired intelligence operative. The series is loosely based on the book “Code Name Stinger” by Harvey Gomberg, who will consult on the show.

Nickelodeon cut a deal with Scooter Braun’s SB Projects to bring The BeatBuds to TV, with an animated preschool series based on kids’ music duo. Each episode of The BeatBuds (working title) will follow the musical adventures of Jonny, Matty and the rest of the ‘Buds, and feature an original song.

In response to the production shut-down caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Endemol Shine Group employees will either be furloughed or have their pay cut by 30%. The cuts will take effect April 13, and be reviewed at the end of May. “Our priority in navigating these difficult times is to keep all our staff employed and these temporary and progressive measures, shared across the UK group, will enable us to do this,” said a company spokesperson.

CONNECTING IN A COVID-19 WORLD

A $100 million relief fund to assist employees impacted by the health crisis has been set up at ViacomCBS, and will also support grants by the Motion Picture & Television Fund and the Actors Fund. “As we look for other ways to support our communities, we’ll also be officially launching the new ViacomCBS Employee Matching Gifts Program in the coming weeks,” said CEO Bob Bakish. “Beginning in the US and UK – and expanding to other regions in the future – ViacomCBS will match up to $1,000 per year of charitable contributions from full-time employees Vice President and below.”

Liberty Global, parent company of Virgin Media, created a $4 million fund to help employees affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including a $1 million donation from CEO Mike Fries. “Those with elderly parents, partners out of work, or other challenges need additional help to get through this crisis,” said Fries. “We want them to know that we are here for them in their time of need. I am hopeful that the Liberty Global Response Fund continues to grow in size and will serve as a model for future support inside our company.”

TikTok’s biggest star, Charli D’Amelio, is amplifying her platform to promote social-distancing and raise money for Feeding America and Matthew 25 Food Pantry during the coronavirus crisis. In partnership with Procter & Gamble, D’Amelio launched the #DistanceDance initiative, encouraging her 46.9 million followers to post a dance with the hashtag. “It’s really nice to know that while we are social distancing, we can still find ways to feel connected… I think it’s great it has caught on and also helped raise money for really important charities,” she tells Cynopsis. The initiative, launched in late March, thus far has logged more than 9.9 billion views, and P&G already has upped its donation threshold from the first 3 million video posts to the first 4 million. To read more about D’Amelio and the #DistanceDance Party planned for tonight on Instagram Live, click here.

As Food Network and its stars go live on social media to bring comfort food to fans, the net is also releasing backgrounds for Zoom. Backdrops come from sets including Chopped, The Kitchen, Guy’s Grocery Games and more.

TikTok is donating $25 million for ads to help nonprofits, health sources and local authorities send public health messages, and supporting the rebuilding of small and medium businesses with $100 million in ad credits. “Cherished patterns of life are being disrupted; in-person contact with friends, family, colleagues, and communities has been altered or ceased altogether; and we’re united in our concern for loved ones who are working hard on the front lines of the global health battle,” wrote Alex Zhu, President at the Chinese video-sharing network, in a post.
