Yamiche Alcindor has been named the new moderator of PBS news analysis series “Washington Week,” effective Friday, May 7. Alcindor will continue to serve as “PBS NewsHour” White House correspondent. She is also a political contributor for NBC News and MSNBC. Alcindor will be the ninth moderator in “Washington Week”’s 54-year history, following Washington Post political reporter Robert Costa, who held the position from 2017 to 2021, and Gwen Ifill, who moderated the program from 1999 until her death in 2016.

CTV ad spend grew 22% year-over-year in 2020, according to IAB’s “Video Ad Spend 2020 and Outlook 2021” report.

Advertisers, on average, spent $20M on CTV in 2020, and 35% of buyers expect to increase CTV video ad spending in 2021. “This is a bellwether moment in media that reflects the continued acceleration and shift to digital,” said Eric John, VP of IAB Media Center. “While we are seeing growth across all digital video, the movement to more audience-based buying approaches has resulted in increased buyer demand for CTV.”

Havas Media Group announced the launch of Meaningful Marketplaces, a way to invest in news sources and minority-owned and operated media that provides engaging media curated “by humans and never machines.” Meaningful Marketplaces offer a reduction in sell-side fees for media partners, giving them a greater share of investment and opportunity to invest in content and creators. Advertisers have a guaranteed brand safe environment, and transparent costs. “Meaningful Media has never been more important. To thrive, it needs an equitable and self-sustaining ecosystem,” said James Gyngell, Global Managing Director of Partnerships at Havas Media Group. “We developed Meaningful Marketplaces to function as that ecosystem. Meaningful Marketplaces is launching with MediaMath, Pubmatic, and Magnite.

Interpublic Group has invested in Creative Studio CONVICTS, helping premium brands develop and distribute culturally innovative content. The CONVICTS partnership will be activated through Mediabrands Content Studio, the media and marketing solutions division of Interpublic Group. “We believe that brands need to be having conversations ahead of culture. Being connected to culture-creators is paramount in activating the insights we glean from our data,” said Brendan Gaul, Global Chief Content Officer, Mediabrands. “After the last year of intense societal and political change and a global health pandemic, brands know they need to go beyond routine marketing messages and join consumers where their true passions and core beliefs are to win.”

TBS’ “Conan” will air its final episode Thursday, June 24.

Netflix canceled “The Irregulars” after one season. The detective drama, based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, premiered in March.

RATINGS

NBC’s broadcast of the Kentucky Derby on May 1 delivered an audience of 14.4 million, up 53% from last year’s attendee-less race and down 12% from 2019.

Many syndicated daytime shows – especially those cleared on network stations – lost all or part of their primary runs on April 19 and 20 due to live news coverage of the Derek Chauvin trial in the week ending April 25. One notable exception: “Live with Kelly and Ryan” (four-week high 1.8 Live+SD national Nielsen rating, up 6% from the week before), which opened up a wide lead among talkers. “Live” had been tied at the top for the previous three weeks. A very heavily preempted “Dr. Phil” (1.4, down 18%) took second. Ratings for all the other talk shows fell below the 1.0 level.

Broadcast Nielsen Top 10 M-F Syndicated Strip Series for the week of April 19 ranked in order by HH Rtg
