A carriage dispute left Dish’s 14 million subscribers without Turner channels late Monday. “Despite our best efforts, we were unable to reach an agreement with Dish Network, and they have unilaterally decided to pull CNN, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, truTV, TCM, HLN, CNN en Espanol and Boomerang off the air uponthe expiration of our current deal,” said Turner, adding it has “worked diligently for months to come to a fair agreement including multiple extensions and compromises, and it’s unfortunate that Dish is once again operating in a disruptive manner that takes away networks and programming from their customers.” Countered Warren Schlichting, Dish SVP of programming, “We are confident that we have offered a deal to Turner that reflects an appropriate value for our customers.” Both sides say they hope to reach an agreement. TNT and TBS were not affected by the blackout.
The Flash and Jane the Virgin got full-season orders from the CW. The superhero series premiere was the net’s most-watched debut ever, with 6.1 million viewers in Live+3, while the critically acclaimed Jane rose 9 percent in viewership (to 1.75 million) and was up 17 percent in A18-49 (to .7) for its second week. “The Flash and Jane have both exceeded our expectations on all counts,” said CW president Mark Pedowitz.
Sure, they said the show was gone for good, but ABC announced its 10 Most Fascinating People franchise is back, with Barbara Walters onboard to chat with Neil Patrick Harris, Chelsea Handler, Scarlett Johansson and Oprah Winfrey. “I know we said last year was our last, but there are just too many fascinating people out there,” said Walters. Special airs Sunday, December 14 at 9p.
CBS Television Stations and Weigel Broadcasting are teaming for Decades, “the ultimate TV time capsule.” With classic series including I Love Lucy, Happy Days and Cheers, the effort will launch on the 16 CBS-owned and operated stations’ digital channels in 2Q15. “Decades is the most ambitious and creative subchannel programming service that has ever been created,” said Peter Dunn, president, CBS Television Stations. The deal with Weigel makes “smart use of our stations’ spectrums and our companies’ considerable programming assets. This service will be a tremendous new business for CBS and all of the other stations across the country that participate, regardless of their primary network affiliation.”
Vintage content is also at the heart of a five-year agreement between Rural Television Network and Sony Pictures Television. Sony is supplying programming, including the likes of I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, All in the Family and The Monkees, as well as representing ad sales for the FamilyNet channel. RMG, which purchased FamilyNet in 2012, handles daily operations and distribution on cable/satellite.
The Bridge will not cross over to season three on FX. Season two of the crime thriller, a co-production of Shine America and FX Productions, wrapped up October 1. The series premiered in 2013 to 3 million viewers but had declined to about a third of that in Live+SD by the end of its run.
Saturday Night Live once again tapped one of its writers, Leslie Jones, to jump in front of the camera as a featured player. Jones, one of the finalists last season for the spot that went to Sasheer Zamata, was hired as a writer on the NBC sketch show instead.
Nielsen and Adobe Systems are partnering to build a cross-platform system to measure viewership of digital videos across all Internet-connected platforms. Nielsen Digital Content Ratings will integrate Nielsen’s digital audience measurement products with Adobe Analytics and the Adobe Primetime platform for “currency grade content metrics,” said the companies. Among those participating in the digital ratings system, expected to launch in 2015, are ESPN, Turner Broadcasting, Univision and Viacom.
Bragging rights: Investigation Discovery was tops in viewer satisfaction for the fifth year on a row in the latest Beta Research Digital Cable Subscriber Study, for digital basic cable nets. ID had the most viewers who are “very satisfied” with the network (56 percent), followed by DIY (55 percent), NFL Network (54 percent) and BBC America, Cooking and Nat Geo Wild, all with 53 percent. FX Movie Channel was the favorite digital basic cable net for 28 percent of subscribers and 29 percent of adults saying they’d switch providers if an important channel were dropped, followed by Cooking (20 percent) and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries (19 percent).
Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason tackles a new role as commissioner of the first Feline Football League. Esiason will serve as spokesman for the Hallmark initiative, which includes a Scouting Combine, draft and games leading up to the net’s February 1 Kitten Bowl, aimed at raising awareness of the plight of shelter animals.
TLC ordered a six-part series that explores stories of divine intervention. Hosted by Roma Downey (Touched By an Angel), the show comes from Downey’s LightWorkers Media and exec producers Downey, Mark Burnett and Katy Davis (The Oprah Winfrey Show). “TLC is always looking for remarkable, heart-warming and eye-opening stories,” said LTC GM Nancy Daniels.
MTV doubled its order for season two of Faking It, to 20 episodes. The comedy about high school pals pretending to be lesbians airs Tuesdays at 10:30p.
POP landed its first original scripted project: Schitt’s Creek. The comedy, created by and starring Eugene Levy (American Pie) and his son Daniel, centers on a formerly filthy rich video store magnate, his soap star wife (Home Alone’s Catherine O’Hara) and their kids. “This show answers the question – what would the Kardashians do if they woke up one day completely broke?” said Brad Schwartz, president of entertainment and media at POP, rebranding from TVGN in early 2015. The 13-ep series was commissioned by Canada’s CBC in February.

Digital advertising technology company Magnetic and unified, cross-screen marketing tech company Tapad announced a strategic partnership to enable marketers to reach consumers based on unified, cross-screen behaviors. “Mobile adds an entirely new dimension to the customer journey, which has already become a vital part of the media mix,” said James Green, CEO of Magnetic. “Our partnership with Tapad allows Magnetic to reach the right audience everywhere based on search intent, regardless of their device.” A study commissioned Tapad this year showed over 70 percent of connected consumers used three or more devices a day.
