AT THE UPFRONTS

 

Univision offered a different kind of Upfront this year, a two-day experiential event, “Culture Unbound,” held at Tribeca’s Spring Studios. “Forget the theater district. We’re upfronting in the hip and fun district, which is like the experience we’re giving you today,” said CRO Tonia O’Connor. “It’s time for some disruption.”
 
The crowds (there were three separate events) visited interactive experience spanning entertainment, news and sports. And there was dancing, and food inspired by a new digital-first brand initiative based on the launch of culinary vertical Delicioso. With Hispanic consumer spending projected to grow 85% over the next ten years, Univision touted the opportunity for advertisers to immerse their brands in the culture, while driving growth.
 
In addition to its ability to reach Hispanics via broadcast, cable and sports nets, Univision announced 20 digital initiatives with brands including, Ace Media, FacebookWatch, Oath, Popsugar, Snapchat, TED and The Player’s Tribune.
 
Univision also announced it has joined Open A.P., started by Viacom, Turner and Fox Networks Group, giving advertisers a standard group of data sets, and formed Aperture by Univision Communications, a new unit to uncover insights on Hispanic consumers. Because, as O’Connor told the Upfront audience, “Culture has always been at the root of UCI’s mission.”
 
Telemundo threw a party at the Park Avenue Armory after parent company NBCUniversal’s umbrella event, featuring a concert with J. Balvin. “Hispanics are a growing cultural, political and economic powerhouse influencing every aspect of our country,” said Cesar Conde, Chairman NBCUniversal International Group and NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, as the net headed into the season. “This is a young, social and mobile segment that is increasingly setting trends, influencing pop culture and becoming the new mainstream, representing the single-largest growth opportunity for corporate America.”
 
Channing Dungey, President, ABC Entertainment, unveiled the network’s new programming lineup at the ABC Upfronts at Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall in NYC on Tuesday. “We enter the new season bolstered by success and the stability that it affords us,” said Dungey. “The new shows we unveil today strengthen an already vibrant schedule of some of the best television has to offer.”
 
Dancing with the Stars: Juniors, a fresh take on established favorite Dancing With the Stars, pairs celebrity kids with professional junior ballroom dancers to perform choreographed routines. Show is produced by BBC Studios.
 
The network adds its first regular primetime broadcast talk show in nine years with The Alec Baldwin Show; the one-hour talker, which debuted as a sneak preview in March, showcases Baldwin’s in-depth conversations with compelling personalities. A total of eight new series were announced, including one-hour dramas A Million Little Things, The Fix, Grand Hotel, The Rookie and Whiskey Cavalier, as well as half-hour comedies The Kids Are Alright, Schooled and Single Parents.
 
New Freeform series include Besties, which was ordered from co-creators Kenya Barris and Ranada Shepard. The half-hour comedy comes on the success of Barris’ breakout coming-of-age show grown-ish, which was the #1 cable comedy season-to-date W18-34. Meanwhile, the net expands the universe of Pretty Little Liars with Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, which features returning favorites Sasha Pieters as Alison and Janel Parrish as Mona.
 
The network will expand its holiday roster with over 1000 hours of themed programming, kicking off with “31 Nights of Halloween” on October 1 and including Freeform Santa (Shadow Hunters’ Isaiah Mustafa) and November’s “Kick Off to Christmas.”
