CYNTHIA TURNER’S
Cynopsis


04/22/05

Good morning.  It’s Friday, April 22, 2005, and this is your first early morning briefing.

NBC Universal yesterday issued a statement regarding Paxson TV’s plans to terminate the joint advertising sales agreements it has with NBC O&O stations and various NBC affiliate, an agreement that has been in place for approx three years in nearly four dozen markets.  The news of that termination, effective June 30, was announced within PAX’s annual report to investors last month.  NBC, a one third minority stake owner in Pax, contends that Pax will be in violation of their agreement with NBC if they end the joint ad sales agreements. NBC’s statement reads in part: “Paxson’s attempt to terminate its sales agreements with NBC Universal and to abandon network programming constitutes a breach of the contractual agreements between Paxson and NBC Universal. NBC Universal will not agree to this course of action in the absence of a viable new business plan that preserves and maximizes the value of Paxson’s assets.” 

PAX also made a recent filing with the SEC that said it is not “currently investing substantial additional amounts in new entertainment programming and are evaluating other programming strategies and opportunities that might be available us that could improve our cash flow.” NBC Universal responded to that in their statement: “Paxson apparently intends to abandon network programming and rely primarily on infomercials, direct response advertising and paid programming as revenue sources. NBC Universal strongly disagrees with Paxson’s attempt to terminate operational agreements that sustain the company and its stations as a broadcast network. We believe that the elimination of all sales and local operational capabilities will reduce the long-term value of the company and its station assets. We believe that the adoption of a paid programming model will jeopardize Paxson’s long-term financial prospects in light of its highly leveraged balance sheet, and is not in the best interests of Paxson stakeholders.”

* CASTING UPDATES *

NBC:

  • The rumors of Filmore Middle (NBC Universal) apparent demise has been greatly exaggerated!  Yesterday it was reported here the pilot had postponed its shooting date, which effectively took it out of contention for a fall pickup.  Not so fast !  The show did cancel its audience shoot to accommodate a block & shoot schedule, but according to a source at NBC Universal, it is “still very much in contention for NBC’s fall schedule.” The story was set in a run down middle school and focused on the disillusioned teaching staff.  Starring in the project were Justin Bartha, Sarah Alexander, Phil Hendrie and Deon Richmond.


* MORE GOOD STUFF *

A&E Upfront Presentation to media buyers was held last night in NYC.  Bob DeBitetto, EVP/Programming presented the upcoming programs and finished up his presentation with a bold move – he “promised” media buyers A&E would end up next year in the top 5 among A25-54 and A18-49.  He probably feels comfortable making that promise based on A&E “double digit growth among all key demos … and the potential of these powerful new series to connect with our target audience”, not to mention A&E’s additions of The Sopranos, CSI Miami, 24 and MI-5 to the schedule next season.
        Among the announcements is the fast-track production of the first of four films for the 2005-06 season, this one tentatively titled Young Knights (Fox Television Studios) starring Ted Danson as an english teacher in a South Bronx high school. Other films focus on the lives of several notables including Johnny Cash, the story of Erik Weihenmayer – a man who lived above his physical impairments and became a world class athlete; the real time events of Flight 93 on September 11, and a film about the blackout that took out power to the eastern and much of the central part of the country a few years ago.  Also on board at A&E is a slate of three new series set to premiere in 2005, and four new series currently in development for the 2005-06 season:
New Series:

  • Inked (Fox TV Studios/Foglight Ent) is a reality show with cameras following the day to day life of Carey Hart and Thomas Pendleton, the co-owners of the Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company, the first tattoo parlor to set up residence in a Las Vegas casino. The shop has a celebrity clientele and a staff of eccentric tattoo artists.
  • Criss Angel Mindfreak (Angel Prods/The Firm) trains the viewer’s eye on Master Illusionist Criss Angel who has created a new form of extreme entertainment he calls Mindfreak. Each episode is performed on the street in front of regular pedestrians and in each episode, Angel ‘defies reality and puts his life on the line” performing all manner of illustion including catching a bullet in his teeth and levitation.
  • Roller Girls (Go Go Lucky Prods) dives deep into the workings of rollerderby with the Texas Rollergirls Rock ‘n’ Rollerderby in Austin. 

In Development:

  • Spying on Myself (Scott Sternberg Prods) uses state of the art makeup and disguise techniques to transform participants into a completely different person. They will then undergo rigorous training by acting coaches and CIA operatives on how to speak, walk and behave with a new identity. Finally the person is sent out on the mission: to find out the truth about themselves in their own world.
  • Random 1 (Random 1 Prods) scours the streets of America, seeking to help random everyday people in need.  Once found, a team of producers in a high-tech mobile production machine known as RV-1 immediately tackles problems and opens initial doors for the unsuspecting strangers, while utilizing help in real-time from an on-line interactive audience pool. 
  • Single Again (True Entertainment) features a couple who have been together for years and gives them an opportunity to find out what life would be like if they were single again for one month. 
  • Little Red Man (Granada) is a little red guy (not sure if that’s literal) who’s mission is to pop up in a person’s life and basically cause them discomfort and perhaps embarrassment, all the while dropping hints as to why he has been hired to annoy the target.  Usually the reason is the target has forgotten his anniversary, or he has failed to pay back a loan to a friend.  The only way for the target to be rid of the nasty little fellow, is to figure out what they’ve done wrong.

The History Channel also presented their Upfront plans last night, celebrating their 10th year on the air.  New series coming to the network this season include:

  • Man Moment Machine (M3) – Premieres 3rd Quarter 2005 (14 x 60m) – Explores the history-making intersection between a dynamic leader, a significant moment in time, and important technology.
  • Weird U.S. – Premieres 3rd Quarter 2005 (14 x 60m) – Based on the best-selling book of the same name, the series takes viewers on a deliciously demented weekly tour of offbeat American history. 
  • Shootout! – Premieres 3rd Quarter 2005 (13 x 60m) – Some took minutes. Others, several hours. Each engagement was a battle of wits, strategies, technology and luck. Each episode explores a famous shootout in history – from the perspective of both sides of the fight and examines the personalities, the weapons, the firepower, and the leadership needed to defeat the enemy.
  • True Heroes – Premieres 4th Quarter 2005 (10 x 60m) – A series that tells the stories of heroes from WWII to present day.  From Military Special Forces-Delta Force Operators, CIA Field Officers, SAS Commandoes, Navy SEALS, Mossad Agents, British M16 – to Special Crime Fighting units – DEA, SWAT, Bomb Squads, Federal Marshals, FBI – to the Rescuers and Protectors – Military Para-Rescue Jumpers, The Coast Guard, Special Forces Medics, Diplomatic Security Agents.
  • Declassified – Premieres 1st Quarter 2006 (14 x 60m) – Using materials from former secret organizations like East Germany’s Stasi, the Kremlin, the CIA, and state television in Korea, Declassified mines formerly guarded vaults and archives around the world to reveal the untold stories of modern history.
  • Where Did It Come From? – Premieres 2nd Quarter 2006 (13 x 60m) – Former ABC News correspondent Michael Guillen explores the historical origins of things used in everyday life-from razors to ketchup, public toilets to fast food, sports stadiums to earthquake detectors.
  • The American Revolution – Premieres 3rd Quarter 2006 (13 x 60m) – These are the up close and personal stories of the major characters involved in the birth of our nation-from the Boston Tea Party in 1773 to the Ratification of the Constitution in 1787.  
  • Pacific: The Lost Evidence – Premieres 3rd Quarter 2006 (8 x 60m) – Recounts the moments of key battles in the Pacific with veterans from both the Allied and Japanese perspective through the use of never before seen aerial photographs that were taken in the days before the battle as well as during the actual engagement.

There are lots of people who wish for stardom in their lives, but when stardom reaches this point, you gotta wonder.  Yesterday Paris Hilton issued a statement that read in part, “It’s no big secret that Nicole and I are no longer friends … Nicole knows what she did, and that’s all I’m ever going to say about it.”  When I have a tiff with a friend, I rarely make a national public statement, but then again, I’m not famous nor am I Paris Hilton.  Little favors.  As for her show on Fox, The Simple Life, the network has made any statements of its own regarding the casting of the series and whether or not Rod Stewart’s daughter will replace Richie.  That statement was made by Paris to USA Today last week.
