IN THE NEWS

Trian has nominated activist investor Nelson Peltz and former Disney CFO James A. Rasulo for Disney’s board of directors, following up on a move announced in December. “Disney needs to again be the beacon of strategic clarity and exceptional execution it once was,” said Peltz. “No Disney shareholder should be content with the current strategic muddle or have to endure failed execution without accountability.” That comment followed Disney’s release of a preliminary proxy filing on January 16 that noted, “In a two year quest for a seat on the Disney Board, Mr. Peltz had not actually presented a single strategic idea for Disney,” adding that his assessment of Disney “seemed oblivious to the ongoing secular change in the media industry.”

While Gen Zers report spending most of their time with social media, short videos, streaming music, and video games, a study from Horowitz Research reports the demo is still heavily engaged with professional, full-length TV content. “FOCUS Generation Next” found that Gen Z audiences are almost as likely to be viewers of professionally produced TV content as they are non-TV content. More than half of Gen Zers say they typically watch professionally produced, long-form TV content on their TV sets, while over a third say they typically consume TV content on their smartphones. The smartphone is the device most typically used among 65% of Gen Zers to watch non-TV content.

“Gen Z are most certainly engaged in long-form content almost as much as they are in short-form. What is interesting to us is thinking about how they might bring their short-form behaviors to the big screen and to their expectations when viewing long-form content and what that might mean from a content development, user experience, and revenue perspective,” said Adriana Waterston, EVP and Insights & Strategy Lead for Horowitz Research. “Moreover, now that the writers’ and actors’ strikes are over, we are excited to see how these younger audiences will take to some of the new content on the horizon, much of which is designed to appeal to them.”

Warner Bros. Discovery is the first media company to announce its upfront plans. The company is hosting its sales presentation on Wednesday, May 15 at 10a at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. “Our groundbreaking technology provides standout, industry-leading opportunities to connect our clients with the tens of millions of valuable viewers who watch, stream and engage with our content daily,” said Jon Steinlauf, WBD’s Chief US Advertising Sales Officer. “At this year’s Upfront presentation, we are incredibly excited to showcase our innovative advanced advertising solutions, as well as the Max streaming portfolio, which places brands alongside our award-winning series, films, live sports and breaking news.”

Sports is likely to be a hot topic at the WBD event, starting with the rebrand of its US sports division, WBD Sports, to TNT Sports. Sports programming airing across TNT, TBS, truTV and Max is now TNT Sports, in a division which will continue to be headed by TNT Sports Chair & CEO Luis Silberwasser. TNT Sports holds significant broadcasting rights for leagues including the NBA, NHL, MLB, and March Madness.

Apple TV+ has canceled “Schmigadoon!” after two seasons. Series co-creator Cinco Paul took to Instagram to say season three, including 25 new songs, had already been written, “but unfortunately we won’t be making it. Such is life.”

Also canceled after season two is Max’s Issa Rae comedy “Rap Sh!t.” “We are extremely grateful to Issa Rae for creating ‘Rap Sh!t,’ a one-of-a-kind comedy with compelling social commentary that reached viewers in a way only Issa’s talents can accomplish,” said a Max spokesperson.
