Nielsen Co. is doing nothing less than expanding the definition of television by instituting a comprehensive plan to capture all video viewing including broadband, Xbox and iPads. Timed to the start of the next broadcast TV season in September, Nielsen expects to have new hardware and software tools ready for the approximately 23,000 TV homes it samples. The measurement will also capture viewership from so-called “over-the-top” television programming delivered via broadband to a TV set. For now, Nielsen will count TV-connected devices such as Microsoft’s Xbox, Apple TV and Roku’s set-top; iPads or computers will be added later. Nielsen says its eventual goal will attempt to capture video viewing of any kind from any source.

Another sign NBC’s comedy Up All Night might be a goner: star Will Arnett has agreed to star in Greg Garcia’s untitled half-hour pilot at CBS. Garcia is writing and serving as EP and veteran director James Burrows is on board to manage the multi-camera effort. Arnett is the first person to be cast with CBS Television Studios producing. This CBS project is in second position to Up All Night for Arnett. Apparently NBC execs are considering nixing plans to keep the struggling series alive, following star Christina Applegate’s recent departure.
WE tv approved a new docu-series, Glam & Gold starring Olympic Gold Medalist Sanya Richards-Ross and her husband, NFL star and two-time Super Bowl champ, Aaron Ross. Production on the six, one-hour episodes is underway in Austin and Jacksonville and is slated to premiere this summer. The series joins WE tv’s popular African American lineup and is produced for the network by Good Clean Fun.
