NEW & RETURNING SERIES
 
Dates for the next three Academy Awards ceremonies on ABC have been announced: Feb. 9, 2020; Feb. 28, 2021; and Feb. 27, 2022. The late dates in the 2021-2022 years are due to the timing of the 2022 Olympics, the Super Bowl and national holidays.
 
Facebook Watch has announced its upcoming summer and fall slate of premieres for several series, including Human Discoveries, featuring Zac Efron and Anna Kendrick (premieres July 16) and Limetown, based on the podcast by the same name, starring Jessica Biel. Other upcoming series include Sorry for Your Loss (with Elizabeth Olsen) and Five Points (with Kerry Washington).

TheGrid network has announced it will be premiering a new televised series called The Janelle Experience, a culture podcast available on Spotify. 
 
The Jim Henson Company’s recently relaunched distribution label HIP (Henson Independent Properties) has acquired the rights to distribute two new series, Alchemy II’s iconic classic The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin, and T&B Media Global’s #Friends.
 
 
ADVERTISING & BRANDS
 
Amazon is the world’s most valuable brand, according to the 2019 BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands rankings. In order, the other brands in the Top 10 are: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Visa, Facebook, Alibaba, Tencent, McDonalds and AT&T. Amazon moved up from the No. 3 spot in 2018 with a brand value of $316.5B, a 52% change. Apple held fast at No. 2, while Google slipped from the No. 1 slot in 2018.
 
“The growth in value of this year’s top 100 brands to an all-time high proves the power of investing in brands to deliver superior shareholder value,” said David Roth, CEO of The Store WPP EMEA and Asia  and Chairman of BrandZ. “Behind this headline growth figure lies the success coming from a new phenomenon of ecosystem brand building. We’re seeing a move from individual product and service brands to a new era of highly-disruptive ecosystems.”
 
 
TECH TALK
 
Most of the top U.S. banking apps have security flaws that put user data at risk, security firm Zimperium told TechCrunch. Issues included failing to adhere to best coding practices and using old open-source libraries that are infrequently updated. Also, alarmingly, more than half of the banking apps share customer data with at least one advertiser, according to Zimperium. 
 
Facebook will start paying users to participate in market research, with an app called Study. “We’ve learned that what people expect when they sign up to participate in market research has changed, and we’ve built this app to match those expectations,” said Facebook product manager Sagee Ben-Zedeff in a blog post. “We’re offering transparency, compensating all participants, and keeping people’s information safe and secure.” When someone clicks on an ad encouraging people to participate in a program, they’ll have the option to register, and if they qualify will be invited to download the app. To help manage the logistics, Facebook will work with long-time partner Applause.
 
 
DIGITAL DATA
 
Fuse‘s adult animated series Sugar and Toys has announced an after-show every Sunday. Sugar and Toys: Late Night Snack with Carl Jones and Brian Ash will feature the show’s creators breaking down that night’s episode. The after-show will be available on Fuse.tv and YouTube.
 
Disney+ is rebooting its classic Chip ‘n Dale characters for an original series at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival. The streaming service will create 39 7-minute episodes of the chipmunks and their various antics.
 
 
GOING GLOBAL
 
All3media International signed an exclusive first-look deal with SLAM Films, the independent scripted TV company headed by Episodes star Stephen Mangan and actor/producer Louise Delamere. All3media gets first-look-to-sign rights over any of the company’s new commissions for two years.
