UPFRONTS UPDATE


Discovery U.S. Hispanic
Networks announced its 2015-2016 Upfront slate, including unscripted Discovery en Espanol series Cuban Chrome, Lost and Starving (wt), and specials Racing Extinction and Lunar XPrise. Series new to Discovery Familia include Buying Alaska, Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, Top Chef, How Do I Look, Quinceanera, My Big Fat Fabulous Life and New Girls on the Block.

The portfolio is boasting its highest rated quarter on record, with year-over-year growth of 93 percent for Discovery Familia, and Discovery en Espanol ranking as the number one Spanish language cable net in late prime time among adults, men and women 18-49, tying its highest-rated first quarter on record. “Discovery en Español and Discovery Familia provide inspiration and knowledge that connects in remarkably intimate and relevant ways with our viewers, and this season we are inviting advertisers to be a part of the action as we take audiences even farther with some of the most timely and compelling content available on Spanish-language television,” said Ivan Bargueiras, GM. “At Discovery, we tell the stories that really matter.”

While admitting NBC “had some ups and downs this year,” NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt took to the stage of Radio City Music Hall on Monday to point to all the number one-rated network is doing right, including having the “hot hand” in late night with The Tonight Show and Late Night With Seth Myers.

The Blacklist will be paired with better-suited new series Heroes Reborn and The Player next season, for a night of “smart but escapist” entertainment. And TV’s top-rated reality show, The Voice, will lead in to new Greg Berlanti drama Blindspot. After Tuesday’s The Voice comes drama Heartbreaker at 9p and variety show Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris at 10p.

On the comedy front, Undateable, live for season three, and newbie People Are Talking will be joined midseason by a revival of Coach, with Craig T. Nelson; Eva Longoria’s Hot and Bothered; Superstore, with America Ferrara and family comedy Crowded.

Greenblatt also announced that Stephanie Mills, who starred as Dorothy in the Broadway production of The Wiz, will play Auntie Em in NBC’s live TV version, slated for Thursday, December 3. The search for Dorothy is underway.

The network’s pitch to advertisers: “When you take our content, our data, our technology, our scale and our demographic reach, there’s no equal,” said Linda Yaccarino, advertising sales and client partnerships chairman. Yaccarino outlined advertising initiatives, also noting the company’s new programming alliance with AOL. “Fueled by Comcast, and Comcast’s investments in our sports rights, our digital distribution, technology, data acquisition, advanced analytics, creative capabilities and of course all that premium video content you heard [Bob Greenblatt] talk about, our momentum is sure to accelerate in the coming year.And so will the pace of change in our industry,” said Yaccarino.

The presentation ended on a high note, with Greenblatt accompanying Dolly Parton in a performance of “I Will Always Love You,” earning a standing O from the packed house.

Azteca America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mexican broadcaster TV Azteca, S.A.B de Cv., one of the two largest producers of Spanish-language content in the world, announced its 2015-2016 programming line-up on Monday at NYC’s Best Buy Theater. The slate includes a Liga MX soccer line-up, “La Hora Ganadora” (“The Winning Hour”), a new hour of interactive family entertainment, a global novela and updated returning favorites.

The “Winning Hour” 7p block includes competition Baila Si Puedes (Dance If You Can), game show Todo o Nada (All or Nothing), lookalike show Soy Tu Doble (I’m Your Double) and competition Escape Perfecto (The Perfect Escape). Three new novelas take up 8p, and action/drama series take the screen at 10p.

“Last year, I made a commitment to our advertisers and partners to deliver new executive leadership, a new Azteca Station Group, a stronger brand, more solid programming and innovative partnerships,” said Manuel Abud, President, CEO, Azteca America. “One year later, we have delivered on those promises, made impressive strides and achieved significant milestones.”
