IN THE NEWS

Peacock picked up a series set in universe that will be familiar to millions of TV viewers. “It’s been more than ten years since the final episode of ‘The Office’ aired on NBC, and the acclaimed comedy series continues to gain popularity and build new generations of fans on Peacock,” said Lisa Katz, President, NBCUniversal Entertainment. “In partnership with Universal Television and led by the creative team of Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, this new series set in the universe of Dunder Mifflin introduces a new cast of characters in a fresh setting ripe for comedic storytelling: a daily newspaper.” The mockumentary will feature an ensemble cast led by Domhnall Gleeson (“About Time”) and Sabrina Impacciatore (“The White Lotus”). Production starts in July.

WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” is moving to Netflix in January, but NBCU is holding on to rights to the franchise for USA Network through the end of the year. NBCU’s contract only ran through September, but the company paid $25 million for the extra months, said WWE owner TKO Group Holdings.

NBC gave a series order for comedy “Happy Place,” starring Reba McIntire, and renewed “Lopez vs Lopez” for a third season. Not so lucky was “Extended Family,” canceled by the net after one season.

“The Chi” has been renewed for a seventh season on Paramount+ with Showtime. “On the heels of a record-breaking season and ahead of this week’s return, we’re excited to provide fans with the promise of more – ensuring that they can continue to enjoy the raw, emotional stories and unforgettable characters that have made this seminal series a resounding success for Showtime,” said Nina L. Diaz, President of Content and Chief Creative Officer, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and Paramount Media Networks.

Fiona Harvey, alleged inspiration for the stalker character in Netflix hit “Baby Reindeer,” will share her side of the story on YouTube talk show “Piers Morgan Uncensored” today. Harvey has labeled events described in the series, described as a true story, as a “load of rubbish.”

Consumer research panels will continue to have a role in measurement solutions for the foreseeable future, according to a study from CIMM. “The Future Role and Value of Panels in U.S. TV Measurement” notes that:
· Panel use cases include support for measurement of ad-supported TV/video, cross-media reach & frequency measurement, content measurement, personification, addressing non- or under-representation of different groups, correcting technographic skews/biases, acting as a source of truth and validation, supporting measurement of broadcast and local TV channels, and measuring attention and engagement.
· Panel data can serve as seed data into AI models and as an important reality check for AI-based measurements.
· Panel technologies continue to evolve with a focus on making panelist participation less burdensome, facilitating more complete collection and benefiting panelist retention by making it easier to participate.
· Panel development and maintenance is costly, running into the double-digit millions even for a panel of just 5,000 HHs. This cost can make it prohibitive for any single company to innovate, making the case for establishment of a common industry panel.

“There are enormous amounts of data, but not all data is purpose-built for measurement,” said Joan FitzGerald, CEO, Data ImpacX and co-author. “As the video advertising industry continues to push forward on measurement innovation and improvement, our study showcases how the role of panels is changing to support better measurement across a wider range of use cases.”

BY THE NUMBERS

Fox reported total quarterly revenues of $3.45 billion, versus $4.08 billion reported in the prior year quarter. Affiliate fee revenues increased 4%, driven by 9% growth at the Television segment and 1% growth at the Cable Network Programming segment. Advertising revenues were $1.24 billion, compared $1.88 billion last year, primarily due to the absence of the prior year broadcast of Super Bowl LVII and fewer NFL games at FOX Sports. “The strength and leadership of our core brands, coupled with our focus on live content and must-have event programming, is clearly valued by our audiences, advertisers and distribution partners,” said Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer Lachlan Murdoch.

Comscore reported a net loss of $5.2 million for the first quarter, amid weak linear ad sales that impacted its cross-platform measurement business. That’s a big improvement from its $12.5 million loss a year ago. National TV revenue will continue to be impacted by linear ad spending, projected the company, and demand for customer digital products will continue to be unpredictable due to the macroeconomic environment. “While revenue came in slightly below our expectations, our teams continued to make encouraging progress against a number of key initiatives that are critical to our transformation,” said CEO Jon Carpenter.

Tegna’s 1Q24 results included total revenue of $714 million, down 4% year-over-year, primarily due to lower subscription revenue. Subscription revenue dipped 9% year-over-year, primarily due to subscriber declines, the temporary disruption of service with a distribution partner in January, and a year-end adjustment that benefited first quarter 2023 results, partially offset by contractual rate increases. Advertising and marketing services revenue was down 3% year-over-year. “Tegna remains focused on maximizing long-term value for our shareholders and delivering on our key priorities,” said Dave Lougee, President-CEO. “We returned more than $100 million of capital to shareholders during the quarter and announced today that we are increasing our quarterly dividend by 10%.”

Dish Network parent EchoStar reported total revenue of $4.01 billion for the quarter, compared to $4.39 billion in the year ago quarter. Net loss attributable to EchoStar in the first quarter 2024 was $107.38 million, versus net income of $253.53 million in the year ago quarter. Net Pay-TV subscribers decreased approximately 348,000 in the first quarter, better than the loss of 552,000 last year. The company closed the quarter with 8.18 million Pay-TV subscribers including 6.26 million DISH TV subscribers and 1.92 million SLING TV subscribers. “The EchoStar team performed as planned in the first quarter of 2024. We concentrated efforts on integrating the EchoStar and DISH Network businesses in order to maximize synergies and cost savings, facilitate growth opportunities, and drive operational alignment,” said Hamid Akhavan, President and CEO, EchoStar Corporation.

STREAMING

NBCUniversal Local’s 15 NBC and Telemundo local and regional streaming news channels are launching on Pluto TV this month, giving Pluto TV customers access to 24/7 news coverage and other original content produced by NBC and Telemundo stations’ local newsrooms around the country. The FAST channels include 11 NBC channels, covering each NBC-owned station market, and four Spanish-language regional channels, which are collaborations between multiple Telemundo-owned stations.

During Fox’s earnings call, Lachlan Murdoch shared enthusiasm for, if not details about, the company’s upcoming streaming sports venture with Disney/ESPN and Warner Bros. Discovery. “It’s very innovative. It’s designed to be entirely focused on the cord-nevers, cord-cutters, people who are not in the cable bundle. And frankly you won’t be able to compare it to a tier of live channels,” said Murdoch. “It is a very different, digital-first product. When you eventually get it and get to enjoy it, you will understand how ground-breaking, certainly in this country, it really is.”

While SVOD viewership represented the largest group of respondents in Involved Media’s Connected Audience Spring 2024 Report, only 66% are watching SVOD ads. Key findings include:
· Amazon has successfully leveraged its ad-supported tier and live sports into double digit growth, on pace to overtake Netflix.
· FAST channels are losing momentum, with 39% of people who ever watched a FAST service saying they did not do so within the last month.
· Linear TV is still the clear leader with the most weekly+ viewers, but YouTube leads in daily viewers.
· Not including Netflix, approx. 25-30% of the standard SVOD audience are daily viewers, with less than 50% weekly viewers, and the rest, less consistent viewers.

Adsmovil has expanded access to its FAST service, Nuestra.TV on Apple TV, Android TV, Smart TVs, Android media players, and iOS/Android mobile and tablet devices in the US. “As we continue to super-serve this multi-generational Hispanic cohort, providing culturally relevant content anywhere and everywhere is vital as our consumers are as ubiquitous and varied as the platforms they utilize,” said Alberto Pardo, Co-founder, and CEO of Nuestra.TV.

RETAIL MEDIA

Disney Advertising and Walmart Connect are collaborating to bring the retailer’s audience solutions and measurement to Disney’s Addressable streaming inventory, enabling enhanced audience targeting and outcome-based measurement for brand campaigns across Disney’s streaming portfolio. “We are enabling advertisers to plan, buy and measure in an automated way while bringing marketers closer to understanding purchase intent and true outcomes,” said Jamie Power, SVP, Addressable Sales, Disney. “Walmart has incredible data insights for planning and measuring, that when combined with the most impactful streaming environments — is a winning combination for advertisers.” Advertisers will be able to apply Walmart’s proprietary omnichannel purchase data to campaigns for measurement enabled by a sync to Disney’s Audience Graph via clean room technology and enabled through a private marketplace programmatically.

TECH

Marvel Studios and ILM Immersive announced “What If…? – An Immersive Story,” the first interactive Disney+ Original story coming exclusively to Apple Vision Pro. “As a kid, my favorite stories were about worlds beyond my own, advanced technologies, and heroes traveling across space and time. ‘What If…? – An Immersive Story’ is the next evolution in how we tell our stories, where fans across generations can experience them and live out the adventure alongside their favorite heroes,” said director and executive producer Dave Bushore. “This experience kicks the door open to the Marvel Universe, and it’s a glimpse of what I’ve been waiting for my whole life.”

Only 6% of consumers often click on ads for products that look interesting, according to Infillion report, “Is CTR Really Dead? The State of Advertising’s Most Famous Metric.” Insights include:
· 79% of consumers agree with the statement, “I see more ads than I used to,” but less than a third say they’re clicking on more ads than they were five years ago.
· Consumers are three times more likely to go directly to the brand’s website in a different browser window or use a search engine to look up the brand, than they are to click on the ad.
· 73% of consumers said that when they choose not to click on an ad it’s because they worry they won’t land on a safe page, and 78% said they don’t want the advertiser to track them.
· 63% of consumers said that when they make the choice to click on an ad, what makes them most likely to do so is that they already know about a brand and have been considering it.

“What consumers are saying loud and clear is that they’re tired of seeing their attention exploited, whether it’s through unwanted barrages of interruptive ads or messaging that they don’t entirely trust,” said Laurel Rossi, CRO and CMO, Infillion. “This research underscores the importance of giving consumers a meaningful incentive to click on an ad when there are so many other ways they could potentially learn about a product or service.”

Meta announced the rollout of full image and text generation, enabling advertisers to create full image variations based on their original ad creative with text overlay capabilities that generate new backgrounds around product images and alter images to better fit multiple surfaces. Meta’s text generator can create variations for ad headlines in addition to primary text; the company is training the AI tool to reflect brands’ specific tone and voice by highlighting key selling points based on their previous campaigns. The feature will run on Meta’s newest large language model, Llama 3.

How would a ban of TikTok affect creators? According to a survey from Collectively, 66% of creators rated TikTok as a crucial platform for their content creation, with 36% earning 76-100% of their income from it. Among the 74% of respondents who are continuing to use TikTok but are also expanding to other platforms, YouTube (92%) and Instagram (87%) are the top choices for creators. Half of the creators are considering developing their “owned” channels, such as blogs, podcasts, and subscription services.

Tegna and the WNBA’s Indiana Fever struck a deal that enables more viewers to watch Caitlin Clark and the Fever roster for free. Eleven additional markets will join WTHR, Tegna’s Indianapolis NBC affiliate, to create a 12-market footprint to air 17 Indiana Fever games this season. “This is a pivotal moment for our Fever team and women’s basketball, more broadly, and this groundbreaking partnership with Tegna will ensure more fans than ever will be able to watch this historic season,” said Rick Fuson, Pacers Sports and Entertainment CEO.
