A year after an admitted racial slur caused her fall from grace and the loss of numerous sponsorships, not to mention her Food Network show, Southern cuisine queen Paula Deen is cooking up a new subscription-based digital destination, called the Paula Deen Network, launching in September. “Guess who’s going digital, y’all!” Deen said. “I’m so excited about my new online Network and can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve been working on.” The new digital shows will include Paula Cooking Light, 20 Minute Meals and One Dish, Three Ways, with episode themes like “Leftover Mondays” or “Taco Tuesdays.” Early registration will begin in July, and pre-registration is available at PaulaDeen.com.
Netflix and Scholastic Media struck a deal to create an animated series based on The Magic School Bus yesterday. The streaming service ordered 26 episodes of the reimagined series, called The Magic School Bus 360 Degrees. The original four seasons have been available on Netflix since last year; other Scholastic classics like Clifford the Big Red Dog and Clifford’s Puppy Days are exclusively available to watch on the platform, too.

The Weather Company will soon be the first media company to connect with Twitter’s ad network by connecting the WeatherFX to “weather trigger” Promoted Tweets. "We know how closely weather and social go hand-in-hand, and weather is one of the top subjects people tweet about,” The Weather Company Chief Global Revenue Officer Curt Hecht told Cynopsis. “For us, it’s a really natural evolution to extend weather insights and actions from our four screens on to the social graph and the conversation on Twitter." For example, a marketer using Promoted Tweets can push a snack or recipe correlating to geo-located users in experiences cold temperatures. The two companies originally partnered on the Twitter Amplify program a year ago.
A new study from research company MindSwarms suggests you can’t count on brand loyalty from Millennials. Unlike Mom and Dad, the demo says they “were hugely impacted early on by online shopping…instead of developing long-lasting personal ties to stores and brands like their parents, Millennials become temporarily loyal to a brand or company as a tactical decision based on convenience and rewards offered.”
