IN THE NEWS

NBCUniversal announced accelerated first-party audience capabilities to improve live event programming for marketers and drive advertising effectiveness. That includes quick-turn insights into interest and intent signals across categories to help marketers understand who is tuning in, and live audience segments that enable marketers to re-engage with consumers. “Live event content brings people together and sparks real-time emotional connections and conversations. And for marketers, the power of live to build relationships between brands and fans is unmatched,” said Alison Levin, President of NBCUniversal Advertising & Partnerships. “These new accelerated audience capabilities make media more accountable – enabling brands to have a more nuanced view of their audiences and quickly understand campaign performance.”

Disney has introduced two custom advergaming formats launching on Hulu and ESPN, powered by BrightLine, a streaming TV technology company that enables remote control engagement with ads and content. The formats, Quiz Show and Beat the Clock, allow remote control interactivity directly with television screens. “Brands come to Disney with the intent of delivering new, unique advertising experiences for consumers that both drive engagement and provide a seamless viewing experience,” said Jamie Power, SVP, Addressable Sales, Disney. “Offering expanded shoppable ads and advergaming formats to marketers will allow them to connect with audiences in a more differentiated and dynamic way.”

YouTube is becoming increasingly important in consumers’ entertainment ecosystems, according to research from Hub. In a May 2024 survey, YouTube Premium ranked as a “must-have” source by 75% of users, a fraction of a percent behind Spotify. The rest of the top 5 spots were occupied by YouTube, YouTube TV, and YouTube Music. A year ago, two-thirds of those using the free YouTube service said that it was a “must have,” essentially tied with subscribers of Netflix and PlayStation Plus. “These results are a reminder that number of subscribers isn’t a proxy for engagement,” said Jon Giegengack, principal at Hub and one of the study authors. “YouTube Premium has far fewer users than Netflix, for instance. But more of those who use YouTube Premium find it to be indispensable. As the streaming entertainment market matures, keeping existing users is a higher priority than attracting new ones. And ‘must have’ sources are less likely to be canceled.”

Forty-nine percent of consumers are confident they can distinguish ads generated by AI versus traditional methods, according to insights released by LG Ad Solutions. The survey also found:
• While 74% of respondents stated they have noticed advertisements they believe are specifically tailored to them, consumers aged 55 and older state they don’t report noticing these types of ads as much.
• 38% of consumers agree that brands using generated AI ads enhance their perception of the brand’s innovation, with 51% of consumers ages 35-54 aligning with the statement. Separately, 31% are neutral about the use of AI in advertisements.
• Despite 30% of consumers stating they would like ads more if they were personalized with AI, 80% believe there should be regulations on the use of AI in specific contexts like political advertising for the upcoming 2024 election.
“It is now clear that consumer appetite is shifting towards innovative technologies that enhance the advertising experience,” said Tony Marlow, CMO at LG Ad Solutions. “This interest is already evident in critical growth areas for CTV, such as shoppable TV and discoverability for brands and content. However, it will be important for advertisers to understand where consumer sensitivities lie with it – especially around events like the 2024 US election.”

Jimmy Fallon has renewed his deal with NBCUniversal as host of the “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” through 2028. Fallon started on the show in 2014, and every season it has ranked #1 (or tied for #1) in the A18-49 demo.

Representation of non-white leads on television was down 12% year-over-year in the 2023-24 season, according to Samba TV’s State of Diversity on TV report. Within the top 50 TV shows, 39% of top-billed actors were Hispanic, Black, Asian, or another ethnicity, while 61% were white, marking a 7% decrease in representation of diverse groups year-over year, said the report. The starkest difference is among Hispanics, who make up 19% f the US population, but account for just 6% of top-billed cast members. Samba notes the importance to advertisers of diverse casts, pointing to a positive correlation of 39% among households with Black, Hispanic, Asian, mixed race or another non-white ethnicity watching programs with those shows’ percentages of non-white stars.

In a related report, Hulu is the most inclusive in terms of Asian American Pacific Islanders with 32.2% AAPI share of cast, according to a report from Nielsen’s Gracenote aimed at shedding light on opportunities for media buyers to invest in shows that authentically represent diverse characters. Other findings include:
• Disney+ leads among streaming platforms and linear networks in terms of Hispanic inclusivity with 31.2% share of cast.
• NBC is tops among linear networks and streaming platforms for Black inclusivity with 30% share of cast.
• Paramount+ and CBS are roughly even on LGBTQ representation with 9.2% and 9%, respectively.
• Fox leads among linear networks and streaming platforms for disabled inclusivity with 11.3%.
“The diverse make-up of primary cast in the new crop of 2024 TV programming holds the potential to help brands to make authentic connections with diverse audiences,” said Halleh Kianfar, Vice President of Product at Gracenote. “Gracenote Inclusion Analytics empowers media buyers to understand these opportunities clearly so they can make data-driven investment decisions on behalf of their clients and increase the inclusivity of their ad spending more broadly.”

Newsmax plans to go public, according to an investment presentation posted on its website. The cable news network will offer 30,000 shares in a private placement to accredited investors, selling them for $5,000 each, with an option to sell another 15,000. The company says that each share will carry with it a 7 percent annual dividend.

Samsung Ads has joined the US JIC (joint industry committee), the first smart TV set “OEM” (original equipment manufacturer) to become a member. “The cross-platform video ecosystem includes numerous parties who both collect and rely on rich data and have a vested interest in connecting viewers with relevant messages that move the needle toward business impact,” said EVP of Advanced Advertising at Paramount and Chairman of the JIC’s board Travis Scoles. “By joining the US Joint Industry Committee, Samsung Ads will serve in a critical leadership position and will help further the JIC’s efforts to work across the industry to accelerate a vision for a more accurate, transparent and modern measurement ecosystem.”

As part of the partnership, T-Mobile screens will display Uber’s JourneyTV rider experience, which shows a live trip map with ETA until drop off, personalized recommendations on restaurants near the trip destination, travel inspiration ideas and local activities, as well as relevant video, interactive and other ads driven by Uber’s first party data insights. “At T-Mobile Advertising Solutions, everything we do is focused on creating more meaningful connections between advertisers and consumers,” said JP Colaco, SVP & Chief T-Ads Officer, T-Mobile Advertising Solutions. “We continue to expand our Digital Out of Home solutions, helping brands have unmatched tools to connect with their audiences at the right time with the right messages.
