IN THE NEWS

NBCUniversal streaming service Peacock kicks off for Xfinity X1 and Flex customers today, and while this is a challenging time on many levels, “We are very optimistic and encouraged with what we are seeing with advertisers that got in to work with us,” said Matt Strauss, Chairman of Peacock and NBCUniversal Digital Enterprises, on a call on Tuesday to introduce the streamer. “We do not see any degradation to the targets we laid out with our advertising sponsors.” Tal Chalozin, co-founder and CTO of Innovid, would agree. “Peacock is launching at a strong moment to capture advertising revenue,” he tells Cynopsis. “Ad supported CTV platforms are gaining share of total video ad dollars as consumers in isolation are increasingly watching CTV right now. NBC launching an ad-supported CTV service with super premium content and brand recognition will be attractive to advertisers. This is partially because Peacock has put forward a very unique focus on innovation and user experience which they can use as their differentiation in a sea of competitive streaming products. A better ad experience becomes a big selling point for viewers, hence also for marketers.”

NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell, recovered from COVID-19, along with Strauss sent an email to employees about the Peacock launch. “This is a marathon and not a sprint,” the letter said in part. “While we are launching with a strong array of news and entertainment offerings, much more content will be on the platform down the road, including our original productions and many more sporting events (which are delayed in the wake of COVID-19). The product itself is in its beginning phase and will undergo continuous updates and enhancements.” While Peacock is on track to roll out nationally on July 15, Strauss said the company is “evaluating” an earlier debut.

AMC is borrowing a show from its corporate sib, streaming service Shudder: Two episodes of horror anthology series Creepshow will air back-to-back on Mondays at 9p from May 4 through May 18. “As we continue to experiment with show sharing across our portfolio of defining brands at AMC Networks, it felt like a no brainer to give fans of Greg Nicotero’s masterful zombie work on The Walking Dead Universe a chance to see this, his passion project,” said Sarah Barnett, President of AMC Networks’ Entertainment Group and AMC Studios. “Greg’s Creepshow is a brilliant homage to the original classic horror film and we couldn’t happier to air it on AMC, or more grateful to our colleagues at Shudder.”

CBS canceled God Friended Me after two seasons. “We’re extremely proud of the unique concept and uplifting stories God Friended Me has told over the past two seasons,” said CBS and Warner Bros. Television in a statement. “We thank the brilliant cast, writers, production team and crew for a show that stirred thoughtful conversation about faith, life and happiness, and made viewers feel good at the end of each episode.” The show is averaging under an 0.7 rating among A18-49, and 6.2 million viewers in Live+SD Nielsens, down 27% and 20% versus its freshman season. A two-hour series finale airs Sunday, April 26 at 8p.

No butts about it: Disney+ is catching flak for the way it edited the 1984 movie Splash for the service.

TECH TALK

Stay-at-home orders have prompted YouTube to accelerate the launch of a free tool for businesses that can help users create quality video. For businesses without the resources to create videos from scratch, Video Builder animates static assets like images, text and logos with music, to generate a 6- or 15-second YouTube video. “With this tool, any business who needs a video can create one that helps connect with their customers and keep them informed,” said YouTube.

A California man is suing Facebook and LinkedIn for allegedly violating the privacy of Zoom users, and accused Zoom of sharing data with outside companies. Facebook “eavesdropped on, and otherwise read, attempted to read and learned the contents and meaning of, communications between Zoom users’ devices and defendant Zoom’s server without the users’ knowledge or consent,” said Todd Hurvitz in a class-action complaint. The suit also alleges Zoom and LinkedIn “surreptitiously provided certain Zoom users with personal information of other users even when the victim users proactively took steps to hide their identities.”

Broadband usage spiked to new Sunday highs on Easter. According to data from OpenVault, downstream consumption was 16.3 GB per subscriber, an increase of 15.8% over the previous Sunday (14.1 GB) and of 37.9% over Sunday, March 1 (11.8 GB), immediately before COVID-19 social distancing measures began to take effect. Videoconferencing likely contributed to data usage, said Mark Trudeau, CEO and founder of OpenVault: “Given the day and the profile of the usage, it’s safe to assume that much of the spike OpenVault saw was due to individuals and families conducting virtual Easter Sunday visits to friends and relatives.”
