THE #1 NEW GAME SHOW
MERV GRIFFIN’S CROSSWORDS FIRM GO – FALL 2008 Including stations from NBC O&Os, BELO, GANNETT, GRAY, NATPE 2008 – THEhotel – Suite 61-904 Cynopsis
Good Morning. It’s Monday, January 28, 2008, and this is your first early morning briefing, coming to you all this week from the 2008 NATPE Convention in Las Vegas. On Friday, the FCC fined 52 ABC affiliates $1.4 million for airing a brief nude scene contained in a 2003 NYPD Blue episode. The ABC affiliates which were targeted are located in the Central and Mountain time zones and therefore aired the episode before the 10p hour. In a statement released by ABC, the network said the FCC’s ruling is “inconsistent with prior precedent from the Commission, the indecency statute, and the First Amendment, and we intend to oppose the proposed fine.” The network further stated it broadcast NYPD Blue with “appropriate parental warnings as well as V-chip enabled program ratings from the time such ratings were implemented.” Tonight’s Premieres: ~ MORE GOOD STUFF ~
News from NATPE:
The WGA signed an interim comprehensive deal with RKO Productions, Inc., a subsidiary of RKO Pictures. RKO Productions’ current production schedule will be announced next week and includes several original screen projects in the works. The company also finances, produces and distributes new versions of classic films from RKO’s library of 1,300 films. Terms of this deal are similar to others the WGA recently made with Lionsgate, Marvel Studios, The Weinstein Company and United Artists among others. BET will debut stage plays for the first time from creator/writer/director/producer, David E. Talbert. After the first one which aired Sunday, others to follow include He Say, She Say on February 10 at 1p and Love On Layaway on February 17 at 1p. NBC announced a few premiere updates: its online series Quarterlife will air February 18 to February 26 at 10p, then starting March 2 it will air on Sundays at 9p. From Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, quarterlife is the first network-quality series that was first produced for the internet. NBC has also moved up its premiere dates for Monk and Psych from USA Network to April 6 at 8p and 9p respectively. Weekend Box Office Estimates: Jan 25-27, 2008 ~ PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT ~

CYNOPSIS INTERNATIONAL – TODAY’S TOP STORY: The Asian American-targeted AZN Television is being shuttered by Comcast as of April 9.

Asian programming will continue to be offered through International Networks and other indie providers. The annual Asian Excellence Awards show that AZN broadcasts will air on E!
