IN THE NEWS

NBCUniversal execs touted the content giant’s reach, programming and ad tech at its Upfront presentation Monday, with Global Advertising & Partnerships Chairman Mark Marshall pointing to its One Platform Total Audience offering, which showed dramatic increases in sales (up to 38%) for customers like Domino’s, Amgen and others versus its traditional plans. “Results like this don’t just happen on their own,” he said. “They happen when you invest in premium content and data.” NBCUniversal Studio Group chairman and Chief Content Officer Donna Langley pointed to NBCU as a home for storytellers, and that the company gives a “voice to visionary artists with something to say.” NBCU News Group chairman Cesar Conde added that the news division’s audience trust and reach locally, nationally and internationally is important during these “momentous time,” adding that it is a “responsibility we take very seriously.”

Seth Meyers, who drew some of the biggest laughs during NBCU’s Upfront presentation, has renewed his contract to host “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” through 2028. His Sethmaker Shoemeyers production company also extended its agreement with Universal Studio Group to produce content across NBCU platforms. Meyers recently celebrated his 10-year anniversary as the host of the talk show.

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, 20 years after their reality show “The Simple Life” bit the dust, are reportedly ready to pair up again. In a joint posting with Richie and the streamer on Instagram, they wrote: “New Era. Same Besties. Coming Soon to Peacock.” Seems a new reality show is coming to Peacock. “The Simple Life” lasted for five seasons (three on Fox, two on E!), and Hilton has done a reality series for Peacock – “Paris in Love” – which debuted its second season in November 2023. Richie has done voice work for animated series “HouseBroken” and was a recurring character on “Bless This Mess.”

Fox Entertainment unveiled its 2024-25 programming slate at its Upfront presentation at the Manhattan Center Monday, with new dramas, comedies and unscripted series joining the lineup. New shows include action-drama “Rescue: HI-Surf,” from executive producer John Wells; psychological crime procedural “Murder in a Small Town” and medical drama “Doc.” Returning series “Accused” will have new cast members Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Nick Cannon and Michael Chiklis. Comedian Denis Leary will star and executive produce single-camera comedy “Going Dutch,” while animated comedy “Universal Basic Guys,” will join the lineup. Fox also will air a new special event “The Real Full Monty” and “LEGO Masters” will air its annual multiple-night holiday event “LEGO Masters: Celebrity Holiday Bricktacular.” Additionally, FOX Sports’ presentation of Super Bowl LIX will air on Februray 9, followed by a special episode of “Rescue: HI-Surf.”

Fox Entertainment President of Scripted Programming Michael Thorn has given an early season-two renewal to upcoming animated comedy “Universal Basic Guys” ahead of the show’s premiere. The series, from creators Adam and Craig Malamut (“Sports Friends,” “Game of Zones,” “The Champions”), centers on two brothers, Mark and Hank Hoagies, who lose their jobs to automation and are given $3,000 a month in a new basic income program.

PBS released its Summer 2024 Programming Guide, with new seasons of dramas “Grantchester,” “Hotel Portofino” and “Cobra,” docuseries’ “Hope in the Water” and “Disco: A Soundtrack of a Revolution” and a third season of reality show “The Great American Recipe.” Series and specials due to premiere this month include: “Photographic Justice: The Corky Lee Story: May 13 at 10p; “Frontline: A Dangerous Assignment: Uncovering Corruption in Maduro’s Venezuela”: May 14 at 10p; “Nature: Saving the Animals of Ukraine” May 15 at 8 p; “Nova: Secrets in Your Data” May 15 at 9 p; Pompeii: The New Dig: May 15 – 29 at 10p; “Great Performances: Audra McDonald at the London Palladium” May 17 at 9p; “Independent Lens: The Tuba Thieves” May 20 at 10p; “American Experience: The Riot Report” May 21 at 9p; “Nature: Wild Ireland: Kingdom of Stone” May 22 at 8p; “Nova: Decoding the Universe: Cosmos” May 22 at 9p; “Great Performances: Purlie Victorious” May 24 at 9p; “National Memorial Day Concert 2024” May 26 at 8p; “Frontline: South Korea’s Adoption Reckoning” May 28 at 10p; “Great Performances: Rodgers & Hammerstein’s 80th Anniversary” May 31 at 9p.

AI Q&A

Marketers – and everyone else, it seems – are exploring the potential and pitfalls of artificial intelligence. Douglas Montgomery, Senior Analyst at Aluma Insights, who will be moderating a discussion about the revolution in retail advertising at the Cynopsis Big TV Summit, answers some burning questions on the topic.

What should AI’s most important contribution to advertising be?
There is a famous phrase, now at least 150 years ago, that still holds true. John Wannamaker’s “half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half“. To solve this equation should be the goal of AI in advertising, less waste. Addressable advertising, the ability to deliver relevant messages to desired audiences at the right moment, should be greatly aided by AI technology. AI algorithms can analyze massive datasets to understand patterns and consumer behaviors on an individual level, which can then in turn be used by advertisers to create more effective ads. These ads can then be targeted much better to those consumers who are more likely to act on the ad.

What should marketers be most concerned about when it comes to AI?
There is considerable concern in the advertising industry (and the public at large) about the use and potential misuse of AI. Consumer privacy, pirating copyrighted materials, and many other issues may cause the use of AI to stall, or be used unseen. The present generally agreed-upon solution to this is for marketers to clearly state whether and how AI is being used. Much like customer service chatbots that tell consumers “I am a chatbot.”

Another major concern is accuracy. By now everyone has used AI tools like ChatGPT and found instances where the generated answer was wrong or misleading. This likely will get better going forward. However, complete accuracy (or even 99%) of the tool is likely to always remain slightly behind the use cases it is given. Artists will always push boundaries and it is doubtful the technology will be able to match the edge cases.

What future opportunities for the use of AI do you foresee?
In the immediate term, there will be an explosion of opportunities for people to use AI on an individual level, as a collaborative partner. At the recent Runway AI film festival, a panel of professional AI users “confessed” they use AI as a productive, non-judgmental, “partner” in creation. For them, AI technology is always available for an infinite number of tweaks, without the stress or pressure of a human partner. AI can also be very beneficial for the tedious task of work, like script drafting, image generation, pitch decks, etc. These are very time-consuming and for smaller entities the ability to gain efficiency here allows them to be competitive with larger ones.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

Caravan has begun production on a new history documentary, “Field of Vampires,” for PBS’s “Secrets of the Dead,” which is slated for broadcast this fall.
