Space race! Science and Discovery will track the Google Lunar XPRIZE, a $30 million competition for privately-funded teams to land an unmanned craft on the moon by December 31, 2015. A miniseries event will follow the progress of teams from around the world as they race to land a craft on the surface of the moon, travel 500 meters, and transmit live pictures and video back to earth. The competition "offers all the ingredients of fantastic television; stakes, competition, big characters, and mind-blowing visuals. It’s the perfect project for Science Channel and Discovery Channel to partner on," said Eileen O’Neill, Group Vice President for Discovery Channel, Science Channel and Velocity.

IN THE NEWS

Aereo might as well throw in the towel if the Supreme Court rules against them in their battle with broadcasters, Barry Diller told Bloomberg. "If we lose, we’re finished," said the chairman of Aereo-backer IAC. As for paying retransmission fees, "We probably could. But the value proposition would go out of the game because Aereo is a low-cost method of receiving over-the-air broadcasting. That’s the platform."

Settle down, Michael Strahan told viewers fretting over reports that the Live! With Kelly & Michael host was headed for ABC‘s Good Morning America. Wednesday morning on syndicated Live!, Strahan said GMA wasn’t a done deal, and in any case woudn’t impact his talk show gig. "This is my home. I love you," he told fans. "I’m not going anywhere."

DirecTV said Wednesday that it had struck multiyear deal with WeatherNation. Where does that leave Weather Channel, frozen out since a carriage dispute prompted the satellite provider to drop the channel in January? "We have resumed discussions," said TWC EVP of corporate communications Shirley Powell, "and hope to resolve our differences."

Nickelodeon hit Sam & Cat was put on hiatus on March 31, before the show completed production of its 40-episode first season order. On Sunday, 21-year-old star Jennette McCurdy, explaining why she skipped the net’s Kids’ Choice Awards, tweeted that she’d been put in an "unfair situation." Said Nickelodeon, "We are wrapping up what was an unusually long production cycle of Sam & Cat, and everyone is understandably tired."

Hulu struck a deal with NBCUniversal for exclusive rights to past seasons of shows including The Mindy Project, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Top Chef and Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Until recently, Hulu had focused on current seasons, but with current seasons of shows now more readily available on VOD and apps, Hulu appears to be shifting to a binge-watch-old-shows strategy.

Amazon unveiled its video set-top box, The Amazon Fire TV, in New York on Wednesday. The $99 device streams 1080p high-definition broadcasts, and comes with a remote that lets users use voice to search for content. "Our open approach gives you not just Amazon Instant Video and Prime Instant Video," said CEO Jeff Bezos, "but also Netflix, Hulu and more."

Discovery Communications will announce today that Discovery and TLC are offering Spanish-Language secondary audio programming (SAP) for a selection of top series, starting next month. "It is critically important that Discovery’s core mission of satisfying curiosity is inclusive of all viewers, including one of the fastest-growing demographics in the U.S," said Eileen O’Neill, group president, Discovery, Science Channel and Velocity. "SAP affords our growing base of U.S. Hispanic viewers the opportunity to enjoy their favorite Discovery shows however they want to enjoy them, in either Spanish or English."

Today‘s Matt Lauer and Al Roker taped cameos for upcoming Syfy sequel, Sharknado 2: The Second One, premiering July 30. Syfy and NBC‘s Today are both under the NBCUniversal umbrella.

Winners of the 73rd annual Peabody Awards were announced Wednesday, honoring the best in electronic media in 2013. Among the winners: Netflix‘s House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, AMC‘s Breaking Bad, Comedy Central‘s Key & Peele, FX‘s The Bridge and BBC America’s Broadchurch and Orphan Black. Presentation is Monday, May 19 in NYC; Pivot will air a special on the event later this year. For a full list of winners, click here.

The National Association for Multi-Ethnicity in Communications has named Fusion CEO Isaac Lee to their 2014 class of Next Generation Leaders Awards, honoring emerging executives under the age of 45 for "achievements in fostering multi-ethnic diversity and inclusion within the communications industry." Lee, also president of Univision News, will be recognized in the Cable Programmer category at a breakfast on May 1.

AT THE UPFRONTS

Travel Channel is taking viewers away, with ten new series, one new special and a a series in development that span the globe. "We believe in travel’s inherent ability to connect us with different places and cultures," said net president Shannon O’Neill. "Our mission is to provide our viewers with transformative programming that provides a gateway and personal portal to experience that world."

Advertisers, the press and CMT execs gathered at the Times Center yesterday to hear about CMT’s new programming, which features a healthy slate of documentaries, series, and music, music, music. Owned by Viacom (in fact, Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman was in the audience), CMT is enjoying four consecutive quarters of year over year ratings increases, with 22 percent total day growth and 31 percent growth in prime. CMT capped off the good news with a live performance from Lady Antebellum, who sang their hit "Need You Now" and a moving medley of "Golden" and Fleetwood Mac’s "Landslide."

Jayson Dinsmore, EVP, programming and development, announced the creation of a News & Docs division, "with a slate of bold and compelling stories that reflect big personalities and monumental events that helped define America, our music and our spirit," from "some of the most respected and visionary filmmakers working today." Upcoming docs include Promiseland from Ridley Scott; They Called Us Outlaws from Eric Geadelmann and Mark Johnson; Freedom, from director Morgan Spurlock, and Urban Legend: When a Nation Went Country, from John Dorsey and Andrew Stephan (Pony Excess).
