What will a Donald Trump presidency mean for the media business? Before the election, the candidate said his administration would block AT&T’s planned purchase of Time Warner Inc., and look into breaking up Comcast Corp. and NBCUniversal. “Deals like this destroy democracy,” said Trump. But AT&T CFO John Stephens struck an optimistic note during an investors’ conference yesterday. “We really look forward to working with President-elect Trump and his transition team,” said Stephens. “Policies and discussions about infrastructure investment, economic development and American innovation all fit right in with AT&T’s goals.”
Dish Network CEO Charlie Ergen is also bullish on merger possibilities, going so far as to say in an earnings call yesterday that it would be “malpractice” to sit on the sidelines. “We have wireless spectrum, we have scale and video, but we don’t have a network,” said Ergen. “You can imagine all the interesting things that are going to happen.” As for the surprise Trump victory, Ergen pointed to a positive for Dish: “It certainly is possible that with new leadership, all net neutrality might go away.”
One-time Donald Trump target Megyn Kelly urged Americans to “keep an open mind” about a Trump presidency. Co-hosting morning show LIVE with Kelly yesterday, the Fox News anchor noted, “Love him or hate him, he’s the president elect of our country, and the one thing he needs now more than ever is our prayers and good wishes.”
The Simpsons was first to predict a Donald Trump presidency – 16 years ago, as Deadline points out. In a 2000 episode of the Fox animated comedy, set in the future, Lisa is elected president after a disastrous term by the former Apprentice boss. See the clip here.
Life at Freeform is over for Dead of Summer. The 1980s-set horror series centered on camp counselors will not be back for season 2.
Viacom’s Bob Bakish, stepping into an acting CEO role next week, pushed the company’s “global outlook” on an earnings call Wednesday. “It’s not about whether you have to spend dramatically more money necessarily,” Bakish said. “Our international experience shows you can deliver significant audiences on genres other than high-dollar scripted programming.” Bakish pointed to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, which is “significantly stronger internationally” with host Trevor Noah than it was with Jon Stewart.
ABC isn’t upping its 13-episode order for freshman Conviction, but the legal drama is still on the slate. While Conviction just hit an A18-49 rating low of .6, its most recent Live+7 lift was 62 percent, to 1.3. The network, which still has an option to order a second season, had given full season orders to newcomers Speechless, American Housewife and Designated Survivor.

The Donald Trump-inspired episode of Law & Order: SVU, focused on a presidential candidate faced with sordid accusations from women, has been bumped again. NBC had initially moved the episode from October 12 to October 26, then to a post-election date of November 16. This time around the shuffle is due to original episodes being yanked in favor of reruns opposite the red-hot World Series last week.
Yesterday, a day-after that had some sobbing and others celebrating, and more than a few friends scrubbed from Facebook, brought a Veteran’s Day video from INSP that more people can see eye to eye on.

Leonard Roberts (American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson) will recur on season five of TNT’s Major Crimes. Roberts will play the head of the Criminal Intelligence Division of the LAPD.
Spending on advanced advertising and programmatic TV has grown by 92 percent since 1Q16, according to Videology’s third quarter Video At-A-Glance report. “We’re seeing two big shifts in linear TV advertising: marketers want to use more data to further segment their audiences beyond age/gender and suppliers want to increase yield by packaging data with inventory,” said Scott Ferber, founder and CEO of Videology. “As both of these objectives become more common, we’re seeing more and more linear inventory come into the ‘advanced’ TV marketplace. There remains a fine balance between the ability to achieve scalable reach and precision targeting, but both advertisers and media companies are seeing the value in bringing data into the equation.”
Tribune Media attributed earnings that didn’t meet expectations to “the Trump campaign’s substantially lower than expected ad spend on television advertising and the fact that our station portfolio does not benefit from Olympic advertising because we have only two relatively small NBC affiliates,” said CEO Peter Liguori. While TV and entertainment revenues were up 7 percent, to $459.1 million, core ad sales fell 6 percent.
According to a “not necessarily representative” October poll of ad industry executive by Advertiser Perceptions for MediaPost, almost twice as many of those surveyed agree with the American Association of Advertising Agencies’ transparency principles than those that side with the Association of National Advertisers’ recommendations. But one third of the entire group polled believed the associations should just remain neutral on the topic of transparency.
