IN THE NEWS

Unscripted series are on the move at Paramount – specifically, from VH1 to MTV. Season 11 of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” is undergoing a reboot and will premiere in its new home this summer. A “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” clip show premieres Tuesday, May 2 at 7p, kicking off MTV’s Tuesday Night Takeover, which will include “MTV Couples Retreat” (formerly VH1 Couples Retreat”). “Caught in the Act: Unfaithful” moves from VH1 to MTV for season two this summer. The goal, said Nina L. Diaz, Chief Creative Officer and President of Content, Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios, is to find new audiences for the shows, produced by Antoinette Media, which was recently purchased by Paramount.

Overwhelmed by the amount of content available to stream? You’re not alone. Nearly half of U.S. households have trouble selecting what to watch, with consumers taking 5.7 minutes to make a decision, according to a new study from LG Ad Solutions. And even if consumers know what they want to watch, 40% are confused on where to find it. Additional findings include:
· Consumers are cutting down on subscription services. Forty-six percent have canceled a streaming service to save money, and 59% of viewers are willing to cancel a subscription after finishing their desired content.
· Consumers continue to want free, ad supported content: Sixty-three percent of consumers prefer to stream free content rather than paying for a subscription. Over the next 12 months, 32% of consumers will remove a subscription CTV service and 21% will add more free, ad-supported CTV services.
· CTV drives outcomes: 39% of viewers have searched online and 37% have visited a website after seeing a CTV ad.
“As consumers increasingly move to free, ad-supported services, this next phase of TV will be defined by both content and experience. This means not only do streamers need to promote their content to lure overwhelmed consumers in, but they also need to have enough to keep them engaged and on the app or channel,” said Tony Marlow, CMO of LG Ad Solutions. “Additionally, advertisers must prioritize relevant ad targeting– as nearly 3 in 4 viewers want ads relevant to their interests.”

In related research, “For Gen Z, Identity Is What They Make It,” a study from Horowitz, Vox Media and SeeHer, found how a brand commits itself to DEI initiatives directly influences Gen Z-ers’ perception, attitude, and relationship with the brand. Six in ten Gen Z-ers believe that the media has had a big influence on the way they think about gender identities and sexuality, and data indicated the demo believes brands have a specific responsibility to shape society’s thoughts about diversity, including race, gender identity, and sexuality.

The final two episodes of Paramount+ series “Star Trek: Picard” will be screened in 10 Imax theaters on Wednesday, April 19, the day before the series finale is available to stream on Paramount+. The screening will be free, and fans can participate in a Q&A with series stars and producers afterward, live from the LA screening.

The Peabodys shared the 27 nominees in the Documentary and News categories for the 83rd Annual Peabody Awards. Winners will be named May 9.

At a pre-trial hearing on Tuesday, the judge in Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News warned attorneys to “stay far away” from references to the January 6 attack on the Capitol, saying they would be prejudicial and irrelevant. He also limited what Dominion could tell the jury about threats the company received as false allegations about vote rigging were being reported. In Dominion’s favor, the judge ruled Fox News cannot argue that a defense in the case was the newsworthy value of claims of election rigging, or defend itself by pointing to segments it aired on the network that differed from claims made by pro-Trump allies.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

MGM+ gave a greenlight to docuseries “Hollywood Black,” from Justin Simien’s Culture Machine, Forest Whitaker and Nina Yang Bongiovi’s Significant Productions, and RadicalMedia. Based on the book by historian Donald Bogle, the four-parter chronicles a century of the Black experience in Hollywood. “Hollywood, like many American industries, was built on Black culture and Black talent, even though it excluded Black people from many of its origin stories,” said Simien. “This series seeks to illuminate present-day controversies, from #OscarSoWhite to the almost regular ‘blackface reveal’ of prominent white celebrities, told through the lens of Black individuals throughout Hollywood history.”

Dick Wolf has extended his overall deal at Universal Television through 2027. The prolific producer has nine shows on the air on broadcast, all renewed for next season: the “Law & Order” and Chicago” franchises NBC, and three “FBI” series on CBS. “Whether in the comfort of their home or on the treadmill at the gym, it’s a safe bet that almost every adult in the United States has viewed at least one episode of a Dick Wolf show at some point in their life,” noted said Pearlena Igbokwe, Chairman of Universal Studio Group. “Dick is a cultural institution.”

Production has started on season two of HBO’s “House of the Dragon” at Leavesden Studios in the UK. “We are thrilled to be shooting again with members of our original family as well as new talents on both sides of the camera,” said Ryan Condal, co-creator/showrunner/EP. “All your favorite characters will soon be conspiring at the council tables, marching with their armies, and riding their dragons into battle. We can’t wait to share what we have in store.”

Brillstein Entertainment Partners has inked a deal with Paramount Television for its Brillstein Creative Partners to co-develop and co-produce scripted series for Paramount+, Showtime and CBS. “We are incredibly excited about this new venture with Brillstein,” said Nicole Clemens, President of Paramount Television Studios and Paramount+ Original Scripted Series. “We’ve enjoyed a great relationship with their managers and stellar roster of clients over the years and look forward to deepening and strengthening those partnerships.”

ITV America has inked an exclusive unscripted overall deal with producer Elan Gale and his “TheYearOfElan Productions.” The “FBoy Island” creator will develop and produce unscripted projects with his signature, character-driven storytelling and idiosyncratic take on traditional reality fare.

SPORTS ROUNDUP

MLB filed a motion in Texas demanding that the Cleveland Guardians and the Minnesota Twins be paid for their TV rights or released from their Bally Sports contracts. The Arizona Diamondbacks filed a similar motion. All three teams were still on Bally Sports channels when the motions were filed. “The Debtor RSNs made this decision even though they continue to use the Clubs’ valuable intellectual property every day. By continuing to broadcast Guardians and Twins games, they generate post-petition revenue, yet boldly refuse to pay the Clubs,” said the MLB in a statement.

YouTube is offering YouTube TV subscribers a chance to add NFL Sunday Ticket for $249, an early-bird discount of $100, through June 6. A bundle option with NFL Sunday Ticket and NFL RedZone will cost $289 for the season during the presale, another launch offer of $100 off the retail price.

The event takes place July 20-August 20.

All Sports Television Network will broadcast “The Contenders” beginning in May. The 20-episode series follows the teams and players in the Women’s World Cup, including comprehensive coverage of the host nations Australia and New Zealand. “Featuring this series on the All Sports Television Network is not only a great way of exposing the American public to the event, but it also further illustrates our commitment to showcasing sports from around the world,” said All Sports President Roger Neal Smith.

Baker will work out of Aggregate Sports’ newly established Colorado Springs office, allowing him to develop deeper ties and to better serve the needs of the company’s NGB partners based in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region.
