IN THE NEWS

SAG-AFTRA members voted to authorize a strike against 10 of the major video companies, following the recommendation of the guild’s board. “After five rounds of bargaining, it has become abundantly clear that the video game companies aren’t willing to meaningfully engage on the critical issues: compensation undercut by inflation, unregulated use of AI and safety,” said SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. “I remain hopeful that we will be able to reach an agreement that meets members’ needs, but our members are done being exploited, and if these corporations aren’t willing to offer a fair deal, our next stop will be the picket lines.”

Deborah Roberts has been named permanent co-anchor of ABC’s “20/20” with David Muir. She replaces Amy Robach, who left in January. It’s a role Roberts should have no trouble filling – she has been serving as contributing anchor for the past year and reporting for “20/20” since 1995.

Starz has canceled wresting series “Heels”; “Run the World,” following a group of women in Harlem; and film spinoff “Blindspotting.” All three shows had recently wrapped their second seasons on air. A fourth show, “The Venery of Samantha Bird,” halted production due to the writers’ strike, and has been canceled before making it to the air.

iSpot.tv has earned its first Media Rating Council accreditation for the ability to identify, verify and track national TV ad occurrences across 178 linear and broadcast networks. “We sought accreditation of our national ad occurrence data based on our TV ad cataloging system because we know it to be the most robust, fastest and best solution of its kind for the marketplace, but also because it’s the unshakable foundation for so many products the industry is using to make transaction decisions,” said iSpot Founder, CEO, Sean Muller.

All five seasons of “Moonlighting” land on Hulu on Tuesday, October 10. The streaming debut of the 1985-89 dramedy starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd had been delayed by prohibitive music rights.

Redbox is stepping in to serve former Netflix DVD customers, as the streamer closes its DVD operations this week. Titles in Redbox’s approximately 29,000 kiosks will include hard-to-find films such as “Ugly Dolls,” catalog titles including “Jerry Maguire,” and coming soon, “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie.”

There will be two new Golden Globes handed out at next year’s ceremony, taking place January 7. The Best Stand-Up Comedian on Television will recognize outstanding work by a comedian, while Cinematic and Box Office Achievement in Motion Pictures recognizes films that are “both a blockbuster and artistically exceptional,” said Helen Hoehne, president of the Globes.

Spectrum News announced the launches of two news networks, a linear channel in Kansas City, Missouri and a streaming channel in Maine. The Spectrum News in Kansas City is a rebranded news and sports network, formerly Spectrum Sports Kansas City, and will continue to feature coverage of the Kansas City Chiefs, live post-game coverage, and local high school football and basketball games. Spectrum News in Maine is a streaming news network created to accompany the existing digital-only platform. Both news networks are available on the Spectrum News App on mobile and connected TV on Roku and Apple devices.
