A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM OOYALA
The State of the Media Industry 2018
 
Deeper experiences come from deeper data. That’s the key message in this report , where you’ll find revealing numbers like these:
 
* 59% of news publishers now use A.I.
* Americans will watch over 80 minutes a day of digital video in 2019
* Social media now accounts for over 30% of online time
 
Data is where the future starts. Read all about it:
 
 
IN THE NEWS
 
On the heels of its Olympics success, Discovery Inc. is turning to sports again, teaming with the PGA for an international golf service. The $2 billion deal will run from 2019-2030 and include global TV and multi-platform live rights outside the U.S., a PGA-branded OTT streaming service and nearly 150 tournaments a year. “This will be a massive business,” said David Zaslav, president and CEO of Discovery, during a conference call on Monday. “There’s no reason we shouldn’t have 10, 20, 30, 40 million people around the world over the next couple of years who love golf.”
 
The new version of the Mac desktop operating system, Mojave, due in the fall, will require apps to get permission before accessing personal data or messages. “We believe your data should stay private,” said Apple SVP Craig Federighi at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday. Data companies will also find it harder to track computers through fingerprinting – Safari will show only stripped down information when users browse.
 
Leichtman Research Group is reporting a gain in new broadband subscribers. The largest cable and telephone providers in the U.S., representing about 95% of the market, acquired about 800,000 net additional broadband Internet subscribers in 1Q18, according to LRG, with top cable companies having 62.2 million broadband subscribers, and top telephone companies serving 34.3 million. 
 
Nielsen was upgraded from “hold” to “buy” by analyst Brian Wieser, who said investor sentiment toward the measurement company is “overly negative” right now. “We think investors look at trends around national TV measurement through a negative lens,” said Wieser, explaining that with the introduction of new initiatives, the thinking is that advertisers will reduce their reliance on age/gender-based metrics. Not so fast, said Wieser: “We think this is not likely to occur broadly any time soon.” 
 
That was one of the takeaways from the recent Cynopsis webinar, Ratings: What You Need to Know Now, with panelists from Nielsen, comScore, Data + Math and NBCUniversal, outlining the challenges, innovations and solutions in the quest for reliable, transparent measurement. It was an especially illuminating session (even one our experts said afterward, “I learned a lot today”). It’s not too late to catch the informative 90 minutes – you can register on demand here: http://www.cynopsis.com/webinar/ratings-need-know-now/.
 
Also upgrading from “hold” to “buy” was Discovery Inc. Despite industry concerns, “at current trading levels upside potential is too significant to ignore,” said Brian Wieser. “As well, as a still-relatively smaller player in a consolidating sector, we can imagine benefits to the stock from future M&A activity whether because Discovery is itself eventually bought at a premium or because it acquires other assets and realizes further synergies beyond those generated by the Scripps transaction.”
 
The Talk co-host Sara Gilbert opened up about the cancellation of Roseanne, where she was a star and producer. “This show has always been about diversity, love and inclusion, and it’s sad to see it end this way,” said Gilbert. “I’m sad for the people who lost their jobs in the process. However, I do stand behind the decision ABC made.” The show was canceled hours after Roseanne Barr posted a racist tweet; a spin-off led by Gilbert is reportedly being considered.
 
It could have been Showtime that had a problem on its hands – the role of Tutu on feminist dramedy SMILF almost went to Roseanne Barr, shared creator and star Frankie Shaw at ABC Studios’ “For Your Consideration” event. Shaw said Barr had agreed to take the role, but an injury from a fall forced her to withdraw. Rosie O’Donnell landed the role of the mentally ill character instead.  
 
Black-ish executive producer Kenya Barris and former writing partner Bryan Barber reached a settlement in Barber’s breach of contract and fraud complaint. Barber filed a claim in 2016 accusing Barris of using a script they had written together over a decade ago to develop the show that landed on ABC in 2014. “This entire case is settled,” said documents filed in LA Superior Court.
 
NBC and the Alliance of Women Directors are teaming to form the NBC/AWD Directors’ “Craft Enrichment Series,” a set of master classes for emerging female episodic directors. Among the participants will be AWD members and finalists of NBC talent pipeline program Female Forward.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT
 
Netflix ordered a scripted anthology series from Dolly Parton based on her songs, from the singer’s Dixie Pixie Productions and Magnolia Hill Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television. (If that rings a bell, NBC ran two TV movies, Coat of Many Colors and Jolene, based on Parton songs.) “We hope our show will inspire and entertain families and folks of all generations,” said Parton.
 
OUTtv is developing a new drama series based on the transgender Detective Sanchez novels with No Equal Entertainment. Series is created by James Motluk and J.B. Sugar, who will serve as executive producers.

MEASUREMENT & DATA CONFERENCE PREVIEW
 
As Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation forces companies worldwide to conform to stricter privacy standards, firms are struggling to determine how they can safely implement GDPR, protect user data from hackers, and be transparent in online advertising and communications to avoid a public backlash and/or regulatory penalty. Allie Bohm, Policy Counsel at Public Knowledge and a speaker at the August 2 Cynopsis Measurement & Data Conference, says brands need to think about their data policies in a different way.
 
“Brands should think about their data collection and retention policies practices from the bottom up, starting by asking what user data they collect,” advises Bohm. “Do they really need that user data? And, if so, for what purposes? How long do they need to retain the data to achieve those purposes?  What would be the costs of losing user data – both in terms of financial cost and reputational cost, as well as any other costs? In light of the answers to those questions, brands should think about what they need to do to protect user data.
 
“At a minimum, brands should adhere to the latest, state of the art data security practices,” adds Bohm. “But, in many instances, the best security policy is what’s known as ‘data minimization’ – not collecting or storing extraneous data in the first place. If brands do not have the data, they cannot lose the data and data thieves and other malicious actors seeking the data will have less of a reason to target the brands.” For more insights from Bohm, you’ll find her full interview here.
