IN THE NEWS
All’s well between Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and MSNBC. Yang steered clear of the news net after claims he was excluded from election coverage graphics and not given enough speaking time during debates, but he agreed to a remote interview with Chris Hayes on Friday. “Chris, and other MSNBC journalists, have reached out to me and the team in the past days,” explained Yang. “I decided that I’d prefer to speak to as many Americans as possible – our message is too important.” During his interview on All In with Chris Hayes, Yang said, “I would certainly never do anything to increase the chances of Donald Trump becoming president again or staying president. And I’m thrilled that I’m bringing Independents, Libertarians and disaffected Trump voters into the fold. That’s how we’re going to grow the Democratic party and that’s how we’re going to beat Donald Trump in 2020.”
TEGNA posted a notice to its Suddenlink customers on Saturday , warning them they could lose their TEGNA station programming unless an agreement between the companies is reached by 11:59p on Tuesday, December 31. While TEGNA said it is “working hard to reach a fair, market-based agreement,” it also noted its stations are available free over-the-air, and on streaming services.
Spotify is putting a pause on political advertising , reports AdAge. “At this point in time, we do not yet have the necessary level of robustness in our process, systems and tools to responsibly validate and review this content,” the streamer said in a statement. “We will reassess this decision as we continue to evolve our capabilities.” Twitter started banning political ads last month.
Bill Griffeth is stepping down from day-to-day anchoring after 28 years at CNBC. “ My current deal is up this month, and after more soul searching I had resolved to stay two more years because of Nightly Business Report, which has been a privilege to be a part of. And then that would be it. Promise,” said Griffeth. “But the decision to cease production of NBR has made my decision for me.” Griffeth will transition to anchor-at-large which means, he said, “I will stand ready with my pithy observations for Rapid Fire.”
Comcast and Starz struck a new carriage deal , days before the year-end expiration date of their last contract. The new agreement calls for programming from Starz parent Lionsgate going to NBCUniversal’s upcoming streaming service, Peacock, and NBCU content streaming on Starzplay. The deal will provide “a path to an orderly transition to an a la carte business,” said the announcement.
In more Comcast news, the Wall Street Journal reports the company – set to launch streaming service Peacock – is in talks to acquire OTT content services provider Xumo. The possible deal would follow Viacom’s acquisition of Pluto TV in January.
A legal dispute that started in 2016 , when Netflix recruited two Fox executives who were under contract, took a twist that could streamline proceedings. With a trial set to start on January 27, Fox agreed to drop two of its three interference claims, despite winning a summary judgement from an LA judge. That move should make a trial unnecessary and allow the companies to take their arguments to California’s Second Appellate District.

STREAMING
FreeWheel launched its Q3 Video Marketplace Report , looking at the changing dynamics of the ad supported premium video market, as new streaming services continue to debut. The report found that streaming services and virtual MVPDs were of increasing importance. “Complexity continues to increase in IP-delivered premium video as the number of streaming services available expands,” said Hasan Iqbal, a senior manager in FreeWheel’s Advisory Services Team and lead author of the report. “Given the desire of advertisers to engage with younger audiences, we see a bright future for ad supported streaming models. Data from our Video Marketplace Report supports this view as ad views on IP-delivered distributor platforms grew 113% year-over-year. Furthermore, premium video remains the most engaging environment for advertisers with mid-roll ad completion rates above 90%.”

Amazon is offering post-holiday tips to advertisers to maximize their campaigns. “For the best chance of engaging shoppers who discovered your brand during the holidays, we recommend setting a daily budget that’s high enough to keep your ads showing throughout the day,” wrote Nina Brentlinger, senior product marketing manager. “If you underestimate the size of your addressable audience, your campaign might run out of budget before the end of the day. If this happens, your ads will pause until midnight, when the daily budget resets, and you might miss out on valuable impressions.” Brentlinger also recommends testing and optimizing to find the right creative messaging, and changing one variable at a time to compare two versions.
