IN THE NEWS
 
You’ve got to give this thing a good hard look. This is the last opportunity for this asset to trade,” said Univision CEO Vince Sadusky of his company’s strategic review process. Speaking to analysts about 2Q19 earnings, Sadusky said, regarding a sale of the Spanish-language media company, “Univision is independent and it will trade one time. And if you don’t execute on that opportunity, I believe that opportunity is lost forever.” Last month, Univision said it would entertain offers from potential buyers. As for the quarterly report, Univision earnings dipped, but the company had its best upfront in four years with a sales rise in the “mid-single digits” for linear, and double-digit growth for digital. (Sadusky will give a keynote talk at the the Cynopsis Big TV conference on September 9 – for details go here.)
 
Word-of-mouth from social media has more power than the example of a trusted friend, according to a new study from Informs Journal Marketing Science. The study, called “Word of Mouth, Observed Adoptions, and Anime-Watching Decisions: The Role of the Personal vs. the Community Network,” looked at the biggest drivers in social learning – and concludes having a handle on the science of it all would pay off. “Advances in technology have enabled firms to directly facilitate and manage social interactions and information sharing among consumers,” said the study. “A good understanding of the differential and unique effects of various social learning devices at different levels of a network is essential for firms to develop successful information provision strategies and efficiently design their websites.”
 
There will be a little less partying around this year’s Emmys. With lawsuits dividing the WGA and the Association of Talent Agents, CAA, WME, UTA, ICM and Paradigm have canceled their Emmy bashes. May upfront events were also affected by the battle. At issue is the agency practice of, and payments for, packaging writers, directors and actors for projects.
 
NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises has acquired production boutique Underground Producciones, based in Argentina.  The new wholly-owned subsidiary will become an extension of the Telemundo Global Studios. “Acquiring Underground Producciones is a strategic investment to help us meet the growing demand for high quality, cutting edge Spanish-language content in the U.S. and around the world,” said Marcos Santana, President, Telemundo Global Studios.
 
Eight LGBTQ YouTube creators filed a class action lawsuit on Wednesday, accusing YouTube of “unlawful content regulation, distribution, and monetization practices that stigmatize, restrict, block, demonetize, and financially harm the LGBTQ+ Plaintiffs and the greater LGBTQ+ Community.” The creators contend their content is being labeled shocking or offensive because of their sexual orientation, instead of what’s in the videos.
 
Chrisley Knows Best stars Todd and Julie Chrisley have been indicted on federal tax-evasion charges. From at least as early as 2007 through approximately 2012, the Chrisleys allegedly conspired to defraud numerous banks by providing them with false information when applying for and receiving millions of dollars in loans, said the U.S Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia. “The allegations contained in the indictment are based on complete falsehoods,” said the couple’s attorneys, citing emails that were fabricated by a former employee.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT
 
AMC Networks is integrating its AMC Studios operation into its Entertainment Networks Group. David Madden, President of Programming for the Entertainment Networks Group and AMC Studios, will step down from that role later this month. “We are already seeing the benefits of our entertainment networks working more closely together – the next logical strategic step is to integrate AMC Studios into this same group, so that the people making our celebrated series are more closely coordinated with the marketing, scheduling and publicity teams who connect our shows to passionate fans,” said Sarah Barnett, President of the Entertainment Networks Group. “We believe this new structure best positions our nimble organization for success in an increasingly competitive environment. I thank David for being a wonderful and consummate executive and for the creative leadership he brought to the team.”

Mobile is satisfying Gen Z’s need for all-day entertainment and creating new, ownable occasions for publishers and brands to connect, according to a study from Whistle’s Whistle Wise. The report also notes Gen Z is 2x more likely to think there is no compromise in quality when watching on mobile compared to TV, and that while Gen Z is watching social-first content on their mobile devices (83% Facebook and 74% YouTube), they are also using it for SVOD, with 40% saying it’s their primary viewing device for Netflix.
 
For more on where the video audience is migrating – including a no-holds-barred focus group with Millennials and Gen Z – you’ll want to be in the room for the September 9-10 Cynopsis Big TV Conference.
 
AT&T’s Xandr struck a deal to have Comscore be the measurement and currency provider for Xandr’s Addressable offering, including DirecTV, Altice USA and Frontier. Xandr’s Addressable offering is powered by AT&T’s first-party data, combining set-top box data with anonymized subscriber data to create highly targeted consumer segments. “We’ve relied on Comscore for our own DirecTV addressable measurement for more than five years and look forward to extending to our expanded offering,” said Dan Rosenfeld, VP of Data Strategy, Xandr.
 
Consumers are becoming less willing to share data, according to the ARF’s second annual Privacy Study. Respondents were 10 percentage points less likely to be willing to share their address than they were last year, eight percentage points less willing to share their spouse’s name and seven points less comfortable sharing their email address. The trend should not be taken lightly, warned Paul Donato, Chief Research Officer at the ARF. “The implications of these findings are critical in light of the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) soon going into effect, which will allow consumers to opt-out of the sale of their personal information to third parties, not to mention the other upcoming state and federal regulations that could impact the ad tech industry,” pointed out Donato.
