It’s Monday, January 24, 2011, and this is your first early morning briefing. Coming to you from NATPE 2011 in Miami … As always, if you prefer to watch this morning’s news instead of reading it, click here . Tonight’s Premieres: Tonight’s Finale: MSNBC and Keith Olbermann parted ways on Friday as Olbermann signed off as host of his nightly Countdown show for the last time on live TV. What at first seemed like sudden news, NYT reports Olbermann and MSNBC have been in negotiations for weeks to end their relationship. The deal was completed on Friday which prompted Olbermann to make his final good-bye to viewers on Friday’s show. Apparently, MSNBC and Olbermann have a separation agreement in place which includes restrictions on when Olbermann can next host another television show for another network and when he can grant interviews about the decision to sever his relationship with MSNBC. The deal though puts no limitations on Olbermann if he wanted to move to radio or to an online format. According to sources, Olbermann’s deal is not unlike the one Conan O’Brien had a year ago with NBC when he left The Tonight Show. Beginning tonight, MSNBC is moving The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell forward to the former Countdown spot at 8p and The Ed Show will move to the 10p time period. The Rachel Maddow show will continue to air live at 9p. In addition, Cenk Uygur, contributor and host of the web show The Young Turks will fill in as host for the 6p hour vacated by The Ed Show. TLC is renewing Cake Boss: Next Great Baker hosted by Buddy Valastro for a second season set to premiere later this year. The first season 90-minute finale airs tonight at 9p followed by a new season launch of 19 Kids and Counting at 1030p. Cake Boss: Next Great Baker is from High Noon Entertainment. WFN: World Fishing Network is launching new seasons of ten fishing shows this month and next:
VH1’s season four finale of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew airing last Wednesday at 10p posted a 0.8 rating among A18-49 and attracted 1.3 million total viewers. VH1 will air the live 60m special where the cast of Celebrity Rehab unites with Dr. Drew this Wednesday at 10p. Max B. Miller, journalist/photographer/producer for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) died recently. He was 73. Mr. Miller was a member of HFPA for 44 years and he also served as CEO of Fotos International. Mr. Miller was an active member in a variety of industry organizations throughout his career including Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, American Film Institute, BBC Film Network and the International Documentary Association among many other organizations.

Litton Entertainment and Tribune Broadcasting are teaming on the national premiere of Direct Access, a 30m weekly hip-hop, urban entertainment show this fall. Hosted by TV/radio personality Darian “Big Tigger” Morgan, the show has already launched on WDCW/Washington, D.C. in the 1130p Saturday time slot. In addition to WDCW, Direct Access will air this fall during weekends on Tribune’s WPIX/New York and KDAF/Dallas-Ft. Worth among other stations as well as Weigel’s WCIU/Chicago. NBC is moving forward with the Wonder Woman pilot from David E. Kelley. The project had been brought to NBC once before though the network had passed on it at that time. Late last week, NBC also picked up a musical series about the making of a Broadway play from Steven Spielberg called Smash. The project has Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Chicago, Hairspray) on board along with Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman to write original songs for the series; Theresa Rebeck would write the script with Spielberg as executive producer. NBC also nodded approval for a half-hour romantic comedy pilot titled I Hate That I Love You from Jhoni Marchenko (Will & Grace). The plot is about a straight couple who introduce two lesbian friends to one another which results in instant attraction and a pregnancy. And, NBC handed a pilot order to an hour-long drama Mann’s World from Michael Patrick King (Sex and the City) about a celebrity hair stylist living in L.A. At CBS, the network ordered a cop drama pilot stemming from collaboration between Robert DeNiro and crime writer Richard Price about six NYC rookie cops who are learning the job while trying to lead normal lives. Tribeca Productions will produce the projected titled Rookies with DeNiro and his partner Jane Rosenthal as executive producers. CBS Television Studios is producing. FOX okayed the pilot Exit Strategy starring Ethan Hawke and written by David Guggenhein with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci producing via 20th Television. Hawke will portray Eric Shaw in the action drama about a CIA extraction team. ~ RATINGS ~
