   IN THE NEWS

Warner Bros. Discovery and All Elite Wrestling inked a multi-year renewal of their five-year relationship. WBD’s networks and platforms will remain the exclusive home of “AEW Dynamite” (TBS) and “AEW Collision” (TNT), with enhanced distribution rights across social platforms as well as building opportunities for additional AEW programming. For the first time, starting in January, all “AEW Dynamite” and “AEW Collision” programming will stream live exclusively on Max. “Tony Khan and the entire AEW team have been incredible partners, and we are thrilled to strike this expanded agreement to deliver amazing new AEW content and stories to TNT and TBS, as well as bring the thrilling live action to Max for the first time,” said Kathleen Finch, Chairman and CEO of US Networks, WBD. “We are focused on creating fresh and authentic experiences for AEW’s passionate and engaged fanbase while also introducing them to our growing lineup of high-action sports and entertainment at TNT and beyond.”

NBCUniversal and Charter Communication announced a content distribution agreement that adds Peacock for Spectrum TV Select video customers. Charter will continue its carriage of NBCU’s portfolio of broadcast, entertainment, Hispanic, news and sports networks while including streaming apps in the cable bundle. “This extension of our strategic relationship with Charter ensures Spectrum video customers will continue to have access to the leading media portfolio, whether they choose to watch on traditional TV or stream it on Peacock,” said Matt Bond, Chairman, Content Distribution, NBCU. “We also achieved our primary goal, which was to strike a deal that recognizes the value of our linear programming and the investments we’ve made in developing premium content, expanding the distribution of Peacock to more consumers. We are pleased to partner with Charter to reach these objectives to the benefit of our viewers.”

Integrating CTV video, native, and mobile video ads within a single campaign boosts key brand metrics and performance, according to a study, “The Connect Effect,” from LG Ad Solutions in collaboration with MediaScience. The study revealed that brands incorporating a full TV experience into their campaigns saw brand awareness increased by 4.7 times, ad recall by 8.7 times, and brand consideration by 11.2 times, while reducing cost per visit by 23%. “Smart TVs have evolved into fully immersive ‘experience hubs’, allowing people to seamlessly jump between streaming, gaming, shopping, and more,” said Tony Marlow, CMO of LG Ad Solutions. “And advertising within smart TV environments reflects this shift by building campaigns that connect with viewers from beginning to the end of their entertainment journey in highly effective and advanced ways.”

Advertising alongside traditional news can effectively drive results, according to a study from Teads and Lumen. Findings show that traditional news:
• Drove 18% higher reader interest in traditional hard-news vs. lifestyle and culture-driven headlines
• Boosted article engagement by 35%
• Increased ad attention by 20%

“Over the last several years, brand safety concerns and new industry parameters have influenced brands to shy away from advertising alongside traditional news,” said John Trotter, Sr. Director, Research & Insights, Teads. “We see these results as a proof point for brands determining a path forward amidst a focus on global politics, the economy, and other traditional news topics. Consumers are invested in these stories, and advertisers have a prime opportunity to reach engaged key audiences in a traditionally underutilized space.”

Responding to CBS News’ claim that Donald Trump reneged on his agreement to be interviewed for a “60 Minutes” primetime election special, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung posted on X, “There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in,” adding, “They also insisted on doing live fact checking, which is unprecedented.” Responded Kamala Harris advisor David Plouffe, “Afraid of the debate stage. Afraid of ‘60 Minutes.’ And his campaign team — after the last three days of increasingly unhinged and unstable ranting at his rallies — is clearly afraid of exposing him beyond comfortable confines.”

Meanwhile, VP candidate Tm Walz has booked a date on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”. Monday will mark the Minnesota governor’s first late-night appearance.

Layoffs his ABC News and ABC-owned stations on Wednesday, affecting about 75 employees. “As you know, this has been happening across the broader company and the industry at large in recent weeks and months,” wrote ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic in a memo to staff. “For us, it means shaping a team that embraces the new media landscape and evolves along with it, which we must do to continue serving our viewers.”

NBCUniversal Local’s 10th annual Clear The Shelters nationwide pet adoption and donation campaign helped nearly 170,000 pets find new homes, the highest single-year adoption total in the initiative’s history, and raised more than $500,000 for participating animal shelters. The 2024 adoption initiative was held August 10-September 10.

Ninety-eight percent of brands and agencies are grappling with big data challenges, from finding quality tech partners to first-party data limitations, like scale, according to a study from Lotame with research firm Ciint. Highlights from “The State of Data Collaboration: A Global Perspective” also include:
• Agencies and marketers tackle first-party data scaling differently: 61% of agencies enrich data (add more data), while 52% of marketers are using AI.
• Agencies lead brands in data collaboration platform adoption, 71% to 64%. However, the gap may close soon, as 62% of both marketers and agencies plan to adopt these platforms within the next year.
• 70% of marketers and agencies see first-party data as an urgent or extremely urgent consideration.

“Technology’s role in this mindset shift can’t be understated, as soon we might be able to file longstanding problems preventing internal and external data cohesion under ‘solved,’” concludes the report. “Data collaboration platforms have proven themselves to be a Jack of all trades and a master of them too, with widespread utilization of their many features delivering multiple tangible improvements.”

   INSIGHT

As brands work to capture viewers’ attention across an expanding range of devices, they need to understand changing viewer behavior. A new survey from AnalyticsIQ, “Updated Television and Streaming Behaviors,” found that during an ad, 47% of viewers scroll on their phone; 41% watch the ad; 31% leave the room; 30% engage with someone else; 19% mute the device; and 12 change the channel. Other insights include:
• The average viewer spends 24.69 hours per week watching TV, with 60% of that time dedicated to on-demand content.
• Asked how many hours per week they watched TV, cable subscribers notched the most time with 22.2 hours, followed by subscribers of YouTube TV (14.9 ), Roku (8.7), Hulu (8.6), Netflix (8.2), Pluto (8.0), Tubi (7.69), Prime Video (6.7) and Disney+ (6.7).

Actions taken by viewers who responded to an ad included:

When it comes to viewers who recommend a TV show or movie to someone else, Gen Z topped the chart:

“With countless viewing options and endless distractions, CTV advertisers need data-driven insights that go beyond simple audience profiles and viewership interests to maximize the impact of their marketing efforts,” Margo Hock, VP of Partnerships, AnalyticsIQ, tells Cynopsis. “Understanding things like subscription model consumption and even ad preferences is crucial. Recent research from AnalyticsIQ found that AVOD is watched more hours per week when compared to SVOD and FAST – which is great news for advertisers! Additionally, 50% of TV watchers prefer their ads to take place before their TV program compared to 29% preferring the end and 10% preferring during their program. With this peek into actionable consumer behaviors, TV advertisers can optimize their strategies and improve results by reaching their target audience in the most effective way possible.”

   SPORTS REPORT

The popularity of women’s sports will continue to grow – 36% of fans who do not currently watch women’s sports said they are likely to start in the next 12 months, according to Effectv report, “Behind the Remote: A Deep Dive into Sports Viewership & Fandom.” More takeaways:
• 82% of female fans spend up to 4 hours weekly watching sports content.
• Almost half of fans will sign up for a streaming service to watch a specific sport or sporting event.
• 58% of fans that keep the service do so primarily because it is dedicated to a sport that they love.
• 69% will watch until the end of the game even if the team they are rooting for is losing.
