IN THE NEWS

Sony Pictures and Apollo Global Management have made a formal $26 billion all-cash offer to buy Paramount Global. The offer comes on the heels of Paramount CEO Bob Bakish stepping down Monday and the pending expiration of an exclusive negotiating period between Paramount and Skydance Media. Skydance has been in talks with Paramount for weeks – the exclusivity ends today (May 3) — and last Sunday modified its bid, doubling the cash that could go towards Paramount’s balance sheet to $3 billion from $1.5 billion and paying less for National Amusements, the holding company controlled by Paramount chair Shari Redstone and the entertainment giant’s largest shareholder.

Entertainment labor union SAG-AFTRA has partnered with Nielsen to help it enforce the streaming bonus provision terms of its most recent contract with studios. Nielsen will act as a third-party provider of streaming content measurement to the union and its Nielsen Streaming Content Ratings service will complement data from the streamers themselves.

Eight media companies — Fubo, DirecTV, Dish Networks, Newsmax and public interest groups Sports Fans Coalition, American Economic Liberties Project, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Open Markets Institute – sent a letter to Congress Thursday urging lawmakers to hold hearings on “the future of competition in pay-TV,” particularly the pending launch of a sports streaming venture spearheaded by ESPN, Warner Bros. Discovery and Fox, an endeavor they say will control 80% of national live sports broadcasts and 55% of all regional and national live sports. The as-yet unnamed JV, which some outlets have nicknamed “Spulu,” is scheduled to launch in the fall. Fubo filed an anti-trust suit against ESPN-parent The Walt Disney Co., Fox and Warner Bros Discovery in February, claiming the JV is the latest in a years-long campaign to block Fubo’s sports-first streaming business.

Multi-cultural media company Canela Media was busy at the IAB NewFronts Thursday, launching Canela Audience Solutions – its OTT-first, proprietary data product, as well as new partnerships and content for brands looking to reach the Hispanic market. Canela inked an exclusive partnership with WBD Conexión Latina to reach bilingual U.S. Hispanic audiences. The company also said it will launch a new version of its Canela.TV app this summer and will add Mexican Classics (more than 100 films), lifestyle show “Café Con Canela,” a daily newscast “Canela News,” and an exclusive event with soccer legend Lionel Messi. In addition, “Secretos de Villanas” will return for a third season.

Law&Crime Network is the official broadcast partner for the CLUE Awards, honoring excellence in true crime content.

Ashleigh Banfield, host of “Banfield” on NewsNation and the upcoming podcast “Drop Dead Serious,” will host the ceremony, with “CSI” franchise creator Anthony Zuiker and Chris Hansen among the presenters. The awards are part of the third annual CrimeCon, to be held May 31-June 2 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville.

At the 2024 IAB NewFronts presentation at Webster Hall, FAST music video network Vevo announced that it will release a limited number of franchise programs. Vevo’s NewFront event concluded with a special live performance by country artist, Kane Brown.

Season 14 of “Blue Bloods,” which will wrap in October, will be the last for the CBS drama, said Amy Reisenbach, CBS Entertainment President, at a press conference on Thursday. “We really want to thank the cast and crew, everyone involved in the show,” she told reporters. “We absolutely will miss the family dinners. It is important to give show the sendoff it deserves.”

Apple Inc.’s Apple Services unit, which includes Apple TV+ and Apple Music, reported revenue of $23.9 billion for the quarter ended March 30, an increase of 14.2%, but iPhone sales dipped 10.5% in the period.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

ITV has commissioned “I Fought the Law,” a four-part series based on the book “For the Love of Julie,” by Ann Ming, the real-life story of a mother’s 15-year battle to bring her daughter’s killer to justice. The series will begin filming in August and will air on ITV1 and ITVX. Hera Pictures (“Mary & George,” “What It Feels Like for A Girl,” “Hamnet,” “Temple,” “Honour”) will produce the series in association with All3Media International, which will be responsible for the international distribution of the series.

Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions said its inaugural documentary series on Black cowboys is in production with Universal Television Alternative Studio (UTAS) for Peacock. The series is inspired by the themes of Peele’s “NOPE” from Universal Pictures—sister studio of Universal Studio Group—with Emmy-nominated Keith McQuirter attached as showrunner, executive producer and director. The three-part untitled docuseries will unmask the forces that erased the identity of the Black cowboy from frontier history and present.

Production on Max Original series “The Easterngate,” began in March and is one of the streamer’s first productions in Poland. The suspense thriller delves into the world of modern espionage during an emerging conflict and international unrest. Easterngate refers to the Suwałki Gap, a critical spot along the border between Poland, Lithuania, Belarus and Russia and widely recognized as one of Europe’s top three hotspots.

Telemundo Studios upcoming original production, “Sed de Venganza,” is set to begin production at Telemundo Center’s studios in Miami this summer, with Danilo Carrera (“Relaciones Peligrosas”) and Isabella Castillo (“El Señor de los Cielos,” “Malverde: El Santo Patrón”) slated to lead a star-studded cast.

“Wayne Brady: The Family Remix” will premiere on Freeform on July 24, at 10p and the next day on Hulu, with the actor and comedian turning the traditional family on its head. Together with his best friend and ex-wife Mandie Taketa, they co-parent their 21-year-old daughter, student and aspiring artist Maile Brady as well as run their own production company, A Wayne & Mandie Creative. Jason Fordham, Mandie’s life partner since 2009, handles the family’s cinematography and post-production, and Mandie and Jason have an almost 3-year-old son, Sundance-Isamu. “Wayne Brady: The Family Remix” is a production of Fremantle and A Wayne & Mandie Creative.

The limited series chronicles one of the recording industry’s most influential producers of soul music, breaking acts such as Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. & the M.G.’s and Sam & Dave and was an official selection of the 2024 SXSW Film & TV Festival and winner of the TV Premiere Audience Award. It is produced and directed by filmmaker Jamila Wignot. All four episodes of the series will be available to stream on Max on May 20.

A two-night documentary event – “The Life & Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson” – will air on June 1 and June 2 at 8p on Lifetime, in honor of the 30th anniversary of her death. The project features 50 participants, including those who knew Nicole the best – her friends and family – to shed new light on her life and tragic death. Produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, the documentary promises unprecedented access to exclusive home videos and interviews and to reveal shocking new details in the tragic story.

Viewer attentiveness for GSTV, the video network for fuel retailers, exceeds attention benchmarks for digital, CTV, and linear television advertising, according to a study done in collaboration with Lumen Research. The study was conducted in alignment with Dentsu’s Attention Economy initiative, enabling comparisons with norms from the agency’s 5-year attention measurement program.
Key findings from the study include:
· 95% of impressions on GSTV deliver eyes-to-screen, commanding more visual attention than digital, CTV, and linear television. Ads on GSTV yield 2.7x the attention of ads on CTV and 2.5x that of linear (vs. Tvision norms).
· Attention per 1000 impressions (APM) to ads on GSTV exceeds Dentsu’s online display norms by 5.0x, online video by 2.4x, and social by 2.3x. Despite shorter ad durations, ads on GSTV deliver more attentive viewing time than :30 spots on both CTV (+91% more) and linear TV (+60% more), vs. TVision norms.
· On a cost per 1000 seconds of attention basis (aCPM), GSTV is 5x more efficient than online display ads, compared to Dentsu’s norms. GSTV is also 3x more efficient than CTV.
· Brand recall following ad exposure on GSTV exceeds Dentsu’s norms for both online video and CTV by more than +50%

“It’s always exciting to conduct world-first research for media owners – especially when the results prove how impactful and effective their media is,” said Mike Follett, Managing Director, Lumen Research.

Cineverse has debuted cineSearch, a new content search and discovery service. Available in public Beta, cineSearch aims to redefine how audiences interact with movies and TV shows.
