IN THE NEWS

NBCUniversal announced the dates and locations of its One24 and Upfront events. Technology conference One24 is set for Wednesday, March 20 at 30 Rock’s Studio 8H, home of “Saturday Night Live,” to reveal NBCUniversal’s latest capabilities in automation, data, ad innovations, and measurement. Then it’s back to Radio City Music Hall for the company’s upfront presentation, on Monday, May 13. That will be followed by a Telemundo Celebration at The Shed that evening. “As consumers’ viewing habits continue to shift, the opportunity to connect with audiences across platforms is more valuable than ever,” said Mark Marshall, Chairman, NBCUniversal Global Advertising & Partnerships. “The announcements we will make will further our commitment to driving the most effective media for our partners.”

Byron Allen has made an offer for Paramount Global. “We believe this $30 billion offer, which includes debt and equity, is the best solution for all of the Paramount Global shareholders, and the bid should be taken seriously and pursued,” said Allen Media Group. According to Bloomberg, Allen plans sell the Paramount film studio, and keep the TV channels and Paramount+. “While investors were initially skeptical Allen’s offer can be financed, we think he wants the linear assets and there are ample buyers for the studio/content,” wrote Wells Fargo analyst Steve Cahall. “This increases the probability something comes together, which will keep shares elevated.” Warner Bros. Discovery has also expressed interest in acquiring Paramount.

Apple TV+ ordered a second season of “Hijack,” starring and executive produced Idris Elba (“Luther”). The thriller has become one of the top dramas on the streamer. “I was floored by the overwhelming audience response after season one. It’s top secret what new situation unfolds for Sam Nelson but I can assure you we will bring the high octane back!,” said Elba.

Also greenlit for a sophomore run is Venture 10 Studio Group influencer competition series “Follow Me,” for Crackle and The CW App. Ten new episodes will launch in 2Q24 with Mars Wrigley and other sponsors slated to return from the show’s debut season.

Global has renewed Canadian legal drama “Family Law” for a fourth season with 10 episodes. Season four starts production in Vancouver this March, with returning stars Jewel Staite, Victor Garber, Zach Smadu, Genelle Williams and Lauren Holly. The renewal comes ahead of the show’s season three Canadian premiere.

While many DTC brands anticipate increasing their spend on TV advertising in the next 3-5 years, they are not spending on the channel this year, in part because they’re ignorant of the true cost of TV campaigns, according to a survey of marketing leaders from Tatari and Nik Sharma. While the survey found that budgets will be bigger this year, much of the spending will continue to go to social and search. Nearly 2/3 of brands expect to increase spending on TV advertising soon, but in 2024, 55% of the DTC brands are not spending on TV at all. That could be due to lack of awareness of pricing – nearly 2/3 of brands weren’t aware that CPMS for linear TV are often lower than CPMs for paid social.

A panel of the National Advertising Review Board (NARB), the appellate advertising body of BBB National Programs, recommended that Comcast Cable Communications discontinue use of the term 10G in the product service name “Xfinity 10G Network” and when 10G is used descriptively to describe the Xfinity network. The advertising had been challenged by Verizon Communications. The NARB panel concluded that 10G expressly communicates at a minimum that users of the Xfinity network will experience significantly faster speeds than are available on 5G networks, and that claim is not supported because the record does not contain any data comparing speeds experienced by Xfinity network users with speeds experienced by subscribers to 5G networks.

The Hollywood Creative Alliance is suing the Critics Choice Association for defamation, claiming the CCA is attempting to “boycott and steal members of the HCA.” The move comes after the CCA announced HCA members would no longer be able to maintain membership in the CCA, and members of both groups would have to resign from the HCA to remain in the CCA. Says the complaint, “HCA is informed and believes that CCA understood that HCA’s membership substantially overlapped with CCA’s much larger membership. HCA further is informed and believes that CCA knew that the coercive effects of its demand that its members resign en masse from HCA, coupled with its defamatory falsehoods about voting irregularities, would deprive HCA of a critical mass of members and its ability to operate as a meaningful competitor of CCA.”

The estate of Tammy Wynette’s fifth and final husband is suing Showtime over the depiction of George Richey in “George & Tammy.” The suit claims the show violated an NDA signed by Georgette Jones, daughter of Richey and Wynette and a consulting producer on the series.

Media news site The Messenger, launched last May, is shutting down. “Over the past few weeks, literally until earlier today, we exhausted every option available and have endeavored to raise sufficient capital to reach profitability,” wrote founder Jimmy Finkelstein in a memo to staff. “Unfortunately, we have been unable to do so.”

TECH TALK

Tech industry CEOs were in the crosshairs during a D.C. hearing on the sexual exploitation of children online. Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, X’s Linda Yaccarino, TikTok’s Shou Chew, and Snap’s Evan Spiegel acknowledged the horrors of the issue, and outlined the safety measures being taken. But that wasn’t enough to satisfy senators backing legislation that increases platform liability and criminal enforcement. Calling for the repeal of Section 230, a provision that protects platforms from liability for third-party content, Sen. Lindsay Graham told Zuckerberg, “I know you don’t mean it to be so, but you have blood on your hands. You have a product that is killing people.”

With a tip of the hat to AI, Microsoft reported strong fourth-quarter results, with revenue rising 17% year-over-year to $62.1 billion. “We’ve moved from talking about AI to applying AI at scale,” said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. “By infusing AI across every layer of our tech stack, we’re winning new customers and helping drive new benefits and productivity gains across every sector.”
