IN THE NEWS

A bipartisan group of ten U.S. Senators are united against Tom Wheeler’s set-top box proposal. In a letter to the FCC chairman, the coalition warned, “Small providers will not be able to afford the costs that could be associated with building a new architecture to comply.” Not surprisingly, the American Cable Association applauds the action. “As ACA has previously noted, the FCC’s proposal would force more than 200 small providers to either go out of business or cease offering video service, leaving their customers with fewer competitive options,” said association.

During a news conference on Tuesday, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called ABC News reporter Tom Llamas “a sleaze” for asking him about money raised to support veterans organizations. “Your critics say you tend to exaggerate, you have a problem with the truth. Is this a prime example?” asked Llamas, who tweeted after the name-calling, “Trump just called me a ‘sleaze.’ Should be an interesting week.” Asked if he’d continue to rail against the media if he becomes president, Trump replied, “It is going to be like this.”

Katie Couric acknowledged “misleading” editing in her gun violence documentary Under the Gun. While the movie shows members of the Virginia Citizens Defense League pausing before answering a question, making them appear speechless, “I went back and reviewed it and agree that those eight seconds do not accurately reflect their response,” said Couric, adding that the beat was added by the film’s director, Stephanie Soechtig, for dramatic effect. “I regret that those eight seconds were misleading and that I did not raise my concerns more vigorously,” she said in a statement.

Julia Roberts will be named Woman of the Decade at Spike TV’s 10th Annual Guys Choice, airing Thursday, June 9 at 9p. “We have been inviting Julia Roberts to be honored on Guys Choice for nine years and to have her gracing our big 10th anniversary show is a dream come true,” said executive producer Casey Patterson. Theme of this year’s show is Rat Pack Las Vegas.

Samsung Electronics is adding new tile ads to the main menu bar of its premium Internet-connected TVs, reports the Wall Street Journal, part of an effort to bolster revenue with more advertising. Profit margins on the TV have been a weak 3-5%, reports WSJ.

Dance music media platform BE-AT.TV struck a distribution deal with Music Choice that calls for BE-AT.TV to take over two blocks of programming on Music Choice Dance/EDM Music Channel (3-5p and 10p-12a), seven days a week. Co-branded facts and photos will appear onscreen.

RATINGS

NFL-less ABC may have finished fourth among A18-49 for the season, but the net won the May sweep crown, averaging 1.3 in the demo. That’s one tenth ahead of CBS and two tenths over NBC; Fox averaged .9. It’s the third straight May win for the alphabet net.

Monday’s premiere of So You Think You Can Dance’s “Next Generation” season on Fox delivered 3.7 million total viewers and 1.0 among A18-49, down from last year’s 4 million/1.3 debut. The reality show faced fierce cable competition from TNT’s NBA playoffs, game 1 of NBC’s Stanley Cup Finals and the premiere of mini-series Roots across A+E nets.

Speaking of that NBA game  with 15.9 million viewers, Game 7 was the most-viewed Western Conference final ever on cable, and most-watched program in TNT’s 28-year history, according to Nielsen fast nationals.

Meanwhile, 5.3 million viewers caught the premiere of Roots. The 9p debut of the miniseries was watched by 2.1 million A25-54 and 1.8 million A18-49 on History, Lifetime, A&E and LMN. Over the course of the night’s three telecasts, 8.5 million viewers watched the episode, the biggest audience for a cable mini-series since Bonnie & Clyde in 2013.
