Amid escalating violence, two series have given up on filming in Israel. FX‘s Tyrant, which relocated production from Tel Aviv to Turkey amid concerns about the Gaza Strip conflict, will film its remaining two episodes there. USA‘s Dig is also pulling up stakes. "Our experience filming in Israel was very positive and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to capture such an authentic landscape that will be threaded throughout the series," said the net. Next stop: Albuquerque.

IN THE NEWS

Selling broadcast and cable together was a winning strategy for NBCUniversal, CEO Steve Burke told investors in an earnings call Tuesday. "That was a major reason why we had such a successful upfront relative to the rest of the industry," said the exec, adding that the company was up 10 percent in the cable upfront versus about five percent down for his competitors, with the $750 million swing helping "close the monetization gap."

TLC launched a new brand campaign Tuesday, complete with the net’s new tagline: "Everyone needs a little TLC." The effort includes spots on E!, A&E, TNT, TBS, ABC Family, Dish and DirecTV, as well as (of course) TLC’s sister nets at Discovery Comm., showcasing the range of moments "filled with heart, humor, hope, and human connection" on TLC’s series. The campaign follows an on-air refresh launched in late May.

Lionsgate and Comcast are expanding their partnership to create immersive multi-platform experiences for digital consumers, starting with an app for the film Divergent. The iOS app, with over four hours of bonus content, is free via the iTunes App Store, and includes an authenticated premium experience available to Xfinity customers with the purchase of the film through the Xfinity On Demand digital store.

Gender-centric networks Escape (women) and Grit (men) entered into a multi-year licensing agreement with Paramount Pictures for nearly 200 demo-targeted films. It’s the third major film licensing deal for the nets, following agreements with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution and NBCUniversal Television & New Media Distribution. Launches slated for later this summer.

The 17th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards will take place Tuesday, February 17 at the Beverly Hilton. The event will be produced by JumpLine.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

Any concerns about whether the second season of Fargo, with an all new cast, new era (1979) and new story, will attract top caliber actors? "The right material will attract the right actors," John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks & FX Productions, tells Cynopsis. "The more specific the parts are, the more you get actors who really want to play those parts." As for that material, "The bar’s high," says Landgraf. "We don’t want to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but Noah Hawley came up with a really good story."

Joseph Fiennes (American Horror Story) will produce and star in Nostradamus, about "a charismatic and self-destructive man who is plagued with dangerous and disturbing visions." Drama comes from Carnival Films, Anonymous Content and NBCUniversal.

BRANDS & ADVERTISING

Nielsen and Pointlogic, specializing in software and analytics to improve marketing ROI, struck a global strategic alliance to develop media planning and inventory management solutions. "It will be interesting to see Nielsen’sdata offering being aligned to Pointlogic’s suite of channel planning tools," said Eric Blankfein, chief of the WHERE Group at Horizon Media, in Nielsen’s release.

Ken Jeong (Community) will star in the MTV coming-of-age pilot now named Ken Jeong Made Me Do It, says the Hollywood Reporter. Jeong will play himself; Jeong’s casting lifts the contingency on the pilot.

DISTRIBUTION & CARRIAGE

Coffee, tea, or The Amazing World of Gumball? Southwest Airlines has added Cartoon Network to its inflight entertainment portal, the first child-centric programming to be offered.

RATINGS

Fox‘s MasterChef hit a season high 2.1 rating/7 share among A18-49 on Monday. The premiere of Gordon Ramsay‘s Hotel Hell followed, scoring 1.5/5 among A18-49 – solid, but down from 1.9 for its last season premiere, in 2012.

Lifetime‘s The Lottery debuted Sunday to 1.1 million viewers. That’s down from the 1.93 million delivered by the series premiere of the net’s Witches of East End in October, but in line with the season two premiere of Witches on July 6.

Live with Kelly & Michael held steady at 2.6 to lead syndicated talk shows the week ending July 13, followed by Dr. Phil, up 9 percent to 2.5 in repeats, and Maury, up 12 percent to 1.9.

Thursday’s tragic Malaysia Airlines crash, as well the Gaza Strip conflict, drove viewers to cable news channels from Thursday, July 17-Sunday, July 20. CNN, as usual, saw the biggest increases, jumping 88 percent from the time period in the prior four weeks to 620,000 total day viewers. Fox News jumped 32 percent to 1.1 million, while MSNBC saw a 13 percent bump to 337,000.

HGTV had its highest rated Sunday ever in total day ratings on July 20, attracting more than 15 million viewers. The net was once again the top cable network for all of Sunday among all women, including upscale W25-54, and the number two cable network among viewers P25-54. In primetime, the premiere of Flipping the Block earned a .8 ratings among P25-54, and Beachfront Bargain Hunt delivered a best-ever .9 among P25-54. At 7:30p, Flip or Flop‘s 1.07 rating among P25-54 was the highest rated single telecast of any series on HGTV in three years.

HBO‘s The Leftovers drew 1.6 million viewers on Sunday, the most since its June 29 premiere. Across platforms, in a week the first two episodes of the drama averaged 8 million viewers. 

The series premiere of AHC‘s Gunslingers hit the bullseye Sunday, breaking records for best Prime telecast ever for P2+ (696,000) and HH (475,000) delivery. It was the net’s best original series debut ever among P25-54 (218,000) and M25-54 (154,000) delivery, and ranked number 20 in the M25-54 demo in all of ad supported cable. Color EVP and GM Kevin Bennett happy. "We are thrilled," the exec tells Cynopsis. "Gunslingers speaks directly to the core of our storytelling approach – shedding light on the major events that shaped our world and transcend time to bridge the connection between the lessons of past and the legends of today."

Saturday’s season two premiere of Hallmark‘s Cedar Cove earned a 1.6 HH rating, 1.7 million viewers and 374,000 W25-54, the second highest core demo delivery in the series’ history and a 26 percent increase over the season one average.
