IN THE NEWS

Wonya Lucas has been named CEO of Crown Media Family Networks. “After a thorough search process, we found a remarkable leader with proven general management skills, as well as a track record of success in driving business results and evolving the positioning and programming of a brand,” said Mike Perry, CEO of parent company Hallmark Cards, Inc. Lucas, who has served as President and CEO at TV One and has held leadership positions at Turner Broadcasting System, The Weather Channel, Discovery Communications, the Coca-Cola Company and Clorox, was most recently President and CEO of the NPR and PBS outlets in Atlanta. She replaces Bill Abbott, who stepped down in January after Hallmark Channel drew criticism for its handling of an ad featuring a same-sex couple.

HBO and HBO Max had a combined 36.3 million subscribers as of June 30, up from 34.6 million at the end of last year, reported AT&T along with 2Q20 earnings. “Our solid execution and focus in a challenging environment delivered significant progress in the quarter, most notably the successful launch of HBO Max, resilient free cash flow and a strengthened balance sheet,” said AT&T CEO John Stankey.

During an earnings call, AT&T’s Stankey addressed speculation over whether Warner Bros. sci-fi thriller Tenet, postponed from theatrical release over coronavirus concerns, would debut on HBO Max instead. The Christopher Nolan film will makes its debut in theaters, said Stankey, but said that won’t necessarily be the case for all projects. “Do I think that there could be some things that we had originally chartered and built for theatrical release that maybe migrate into an SVOD construct? Sure, I think that could occur,” said Stankey, adding that it’s “nice to have the optionality” of an SVOD release.

Third-party data spend grew 6% in 2019, but the COVID-19 crisis is likely to drive cuts in this year’s 2Q and 3Q spending by up to 20%, according to the IAB’s new State of Data report. Business recovery from COVID-19 eclipses privacy as the top concern for 2020 – while privacy remains important, only 18.9% of respondents cited government/data privacy regulation as a top concern, versus more than half the previous year. Nearly two thirds (62.3%) of respondents report that privacy and content management are handled in-house versus outsourced.

AMC was handed a big win this week when a California judge ruled it had been properly compensating The Walking Dead producers who allege they were cheated out of profits. “As the court found, these plaintiffs had the most sophisticated lawyers and agents in Hollywood and they got what they bargained for,” said AMC attorney Orin Snyder.

CBS News is forming a unit to ensure the division’s reporting reflects diverse perspectives. “We must always be aware of how race and culture impacts our journalism – and, in terms of the future of CBS News, this unit will be as important as Standards and Practices,” said CBS News President Susan Zirinsky. Alvin Patrick, who joined CBS News in 2012, has been named executive producer of the unit.

Over 100 companies met the requirements to be included in the ANA’s initial list of “Certified Diverse Suppliers for Advertising and Marketing.” In a May report, the ANA said it would curate and publish a list of diverse suppliers that work in marketing/advertising.

Philo and TV One inked a distribution agreement that adds the channel to Philo’s lineup. “Adding more diverse programming aligns with our continued commitment to our community,” said Philo CEO Andrew McCollum. “The addition of TV One is the result of our appreciation for the importance of Black-owned channels and content perspectives to our overall business objectives, which in turn create opportunities for diverse creators.” This is TV One’s first vMVPD distribution deal.

AVOD Pluto TV is now available to Verizon customers, via an app on Android mobile devices and pre-installed on Fios cable boxes and Stream TV and 5G Amazon Home Fire devices. Three new channels will be exclusive to Verizon subscribers: Movies on Verizon, Real Life on Verizon, and Yahoo Finance.

TECH TALK

Active daily users of Twitter grew 12% in 2Q20, to 186 million. CEO Jack Dorsey told investors the company is experimenting with potential revenue product opportunities, including subscriptions, and said it is addressing security issues and will “continue to be transparent in sharing our learning and remediation.”

TikTok reported it has set up a Creator Fund, to be distributed over the coming year. The goal is to “encourage those who dream of using their voices and creativity to spark inspirational careers,” wrote TikTok US General Manager Vanessa Pappas in a blog post. “The U.S. fund will start with $200 million to help support ambitious creators who are seeking opportunities to foster a livelihood through their innovative content.”

Despite such feel-good gestures, concern over security issues regarding the Chinese-owned company continues – and a group of US investors is reportedly consulting with regulators to determine whether acquiring a minority stake in the company would alleviate concern. “We are very confident in the long-term success of TikTok and will make our plans public when we have something to announce,” said a TikTok spokesperson.

OpenX announced the launch of Bidding Intelligence Data Set (BIDS), a solution to make log-level reporting available to marketers or agencies looking for more visibility into their programmatic media buys. Through a partnership with cloud data platform Snowflake, buyers that work with OpenX can access granular data around auction participation and bid performance on Snowflake Data Marketplace. “One of the macro trends in digital advertising over the past few years is that marketers are taking a much more hands on approach to their digital campaigns, digging deep into what is happening behind the scenes. The increase in log-level data requests is a direct result of that,” said Brian Murphy, SVP, Demand at OpenX. “We love to partner with marketers on initiatives like this, and our partnership with Snowflake is all about making it easy as possible to access and analyze this data.”

WildBrain Spark, the digital media division of WildBrain, is teaming with South Korean AR specialist ANIPEN to bring to life characters from WildBrain’s Teletubbies, In the Night Garden and the original WildBrain Spark’s show Boy & Dragon through ANIPEN’s AR technology, made available within their AnibeaR app. Through the app, users will be able to create short videos which will incorporate the characters in real-world scenes shot on their phones.
