IN THE NEWS

Former Paramount studio chief Barry Diller said it was his interest in the media giant that “unquestionably” pushed Skydance Media to buy Paramount Global, at the FT Business of Entertainment Summit. Skydance had originally proposed buying out Paramount Global chair Shari Redstone’s interest in National Amusements – which also controls Paramount – in a deal valued at $8 billion. At the FT conference, Diller joked that Redstone “ought to send a nice pot of flowers or chicken soup” as a token of appreciation, according to Deadline.com. Diller, who ran Paramount before it was purchased by Redstone’s father Sumner Redstone, had several discussions with the company when it was most recently put back on the trading block, and he said those talks “got Skydance to close the first round of it,” adding that after word leaked of his interest any contentious issues held by Skydance in their negotiations disappeared. Skydance, led by Oracle founder Larry Ellison’s son David, had one more hurdle to clear – a competing offer from a group led by former Warner Music chief Edgar Bronfman, Jr., that was abandoned in August – before sealing the deal, which is expected to close in the first half of 2025.

With the presidential election less than two months away, Sinclair said it is increasing its advertising guidance for the third quarter to between $140 million and $145 million, above its earlier forecast of $113 million to $128 million. Sinclair attributed the bump to stronger than expected political ad sales. The company, which owns 185 TV stations in 86 markets across the country, said it expected its Local Media segment to generate core ad revenue of between $285 million and $293 million in Q3, down slightly from the previous prediction of $288 million to $300 million due to crowd-out from the increased political advertising. In total, Sinclair now expects Q3 Local Media advertising revenue to be between $425 million to $438 million, up from earlier predictions of $401 million to $428 million. Full-year political revenue is now expected to land between $442 million to $469 million, up from the previously disclosed range of $385 million to $410 million.

Erik Menendez, who along with his brother Lyle was convicted of murdering their parents in 1989 in one of the most sensational trials in recent history, has publicly come out against Netflix’s limited series about the case – “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” – as “inaccurate” and “dishonest,” according to reports. Erik posted a message to his brother’s Facebook page last Friday, criticizing the Netflix limited series, produced by Ryan Murphy, as yet another melodramatic adaptation of the murders that doesn’t follow the facts. The Netflix show depicts the brothers as spoiled brats who went on a spending spree after killing their parents, and later as sympathetic victims who endured years of sexual abuse by their father and mother. The brothers were convicted of first-degree murder in 1996 and are currently serving life sentences without the possibility of parole, but their lawyer has said publicly he’s hopeful that new family testimonies would help get their sentences reduced.

According to Variety, Jenkins was scheduled to announce the new studio and its plans – including the rollout of the last two seasons of “The Chosen” – at the “ChosenCon” two-day gathering of fans in Orlando, FL, that began on Friday. Variety added that a six-episode adventure series – “The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls” – is in the works and will begin shooting this fall.

STREAMING

The reboot of Max series “Pretty Little Liars” will not return for a third season, the streamer said. The series debuted on Max in 2022 as “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin.” A second season – “Pretty Little Liars: Summer School” – aired between May and June. In a statement, Max said it “will not be moving forward with a third season “of the show, but thanked its co-creators Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring and the crew at Warner Bros. Television for “reintroducing fans to this new iteration” of the show.

TECH TALK

A Federal Communications Commission proposal that would require broadcasters to disclose on-air when a political advertisement uses artificial intelligence is being flagged as unfair by a group of cable and broadcast companies. Because the ruling wouldn’t affect social media companies and streamers, the NCTA (The Internet & Television Association) and the National Association of Broadcasters claim it could confuse consumers. The proposed rule’s aim is to fight back against deep fake political ads but because the FCC’s jurisdiction is limited to companies that use the public airwaves, it wouldn’t apply to social media companies, streaming video operators and other online publishers. Both groups say the rule could force political campaigns to shift their ad dollars online, while other organizations like watchdog group Public Citizen that support the proposal say the stakes of not identifying deep fakes are too high. The American Civil Liberties Union argued that the proposed rules might “unconstitutionally burden the speech of third parties,” and force licensees to abandon political advertising and seek out less costly alternatives.

Google now shows YouTube users ads when they pause videos in the app, providing advertisers with a new space to utilize when planning campaigns. Google began testing the pause feature in 2023 with select advertisers for viewers pausing videos on a connected TV. The test ads appeared as a banner around the video and were removable by selecting a “dismiss” button. Pause ads are now showing up on YouTube’s website as well as its mobile app, to the chagrin of some users. YouTube claims the feature, now available to all advertisers, is designed to be less interruptive. However, it’s uncertain whether that means there will be fewer ads as a result.

Incompas, a tech group that counts Amazon, Netflix, Google and Meta as members, urged a federal appeals court last week to uphold the Federal Communications Commission’s Net Neutrality rules. Net neutrality would formally prohibit broadband providers from blocking or throttling traffic and charging higher fees for prioritized delivery, actions that opponents to the regulations say are already kept in check by the marketplace. The FCC had planned to enact Net Neutrality in July but was blocked by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is expected to make a decision shortly. In a friend-of-the-court brief last week, Incompas argued the order helps protect consumers’ ability to access content from edge providers like streamers, search engines, social platforms and other web publishers and that without formal rules, cable and telecom companies that provide broadband connections could undermine competition.

Gen.G Esports (Gen.G) has partnered with global sports brand Descente to showcase a new uniform for the 2024 League of Legends World Championships. The Worlds 2024 uniform consists of two pieces, a jersey and a jacket. The “Worlds White” uniform was created at the request of the team to express their intent to win Worlds, accentuated by the golden lines of the Gen.G logo throughout the body of the uniform.

RATINGS

The Summer Olympics, averaging 14 million nightly viewers from July 26-August 11, helped NBC become the ratings champ for the 2023-24 season, measured from Sept. 25, 2023-Sept. 22, 2024. That, coupled with other summer programming, helped NBC pass CBS, which won the traditional September to May ratings season. NBC averaged about 4.9 million primetime viewers during the summer months of 2023-24, beating CBS’ 4.7 million. ABC ranked third with 3.9 million viewers, while Fox averaged 2.8 million. NBC viewership was up 7% from 2022-23 season, while ABC rose by 4%, CBS dipped 6% and Fox was down 24% for the period. CBS averaged 5.59 million viewers for the September to May season, followed by NBC (5.01 million), ABC (4.29 million) and Fox (3.35 million). TV viewing tends to go down substantially in the summer, even in an Olympic year, hence the lower numbers for the full year vs. the nine-month traditional season.

Among the key ad-sales demographic of adults 18-49, NBC led the 52-week season with a 0.72 rating, equal to about 950,000 viewers in that age range. ABC and CBS tied at 0.6 (about 790,000 viewers), and Fox drew a 0.58 (about 765,000 viewers). For the September-to-May run, CBS scored a 0.82 rating, followed by NBC at 0.77, Fox at 0.73 and ABC at 0.66.
