Cynopsis: DIGITAL
03/10/08
Good morning, it’s Monday, March 10, 2008, and this is your first early morning digital briefing.
Reports are circulating that Sir Paul McCartney has finally agreed to sell the digital rights to the Beatles catalog in an exclusive deal with Apple, worth anywhere from $400 million (UPI) to $600 million (Telegraph.) The Beatles songs have long been considered the Holy Grail of digital music platforms, but legal disputes between the surviving Beatles, EMI, Apple Corps and Apple Computer have complicated matters. This time the rumor may turn out to be true, given that Sir Paul is in the midst of a royally expensive divorce that could cost him upwards of 30 million pounds.
The internet has proven to be a useful place to repurpose content – why not an entire network? Warner Bros. Television Group is planning to resurrect youth-focused network The WB as an online network at wb.com, reports Mediaweek. The site, slated for beta launch next month, will offer free, ad-supported episodes of WB-produced series such as Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Dawson’s Creek, serialized into several 5-minute chapters.
AOL‘s internet radio division struck a deal with CBS Radio to offer AOL Radio users access to CBS Radio news, sports and music content from 150+ CBS stations. Advertisers will be able to place ads within a new audio player utilizing CBS’ TargetSpot streaming audio ad solution. The deal, taking effect in May, will replace AOL’s existing relationship with XM Satellite Radio.
It appears Disney will be the next big studio to mine its vault of classic TV shows, based on remarks made by CEO Bog Iger at the company’s annual shareholder’s meeting last week. The shows could appear on Disney.com for free or as part of a subscription model.
IFC.com‘s first original web series Lunchbox commemorates the site’s re-launch this morning, timed to coincide with the SXSW festival in Austin, TX. The variety show profiles buzz-worthy websites, events and trends in music, film and politics. Each day of the week is structured around a different topic: including: What’s on IFC (Mondays); Music (Tuesdays); Politics (Wednesdays); Film (Thursdays); and IFC’s Media Lab filmmaker community (Fridays).
A&E’s Bio.com also launched its first original web series, On The Job, featuring 2-3 minute looks behind the tape at crime scenes, from a crime scene cleaner to a forensic scientist to a maximum security prison guard. The series is part of the recently launched crime-focuses Notorious minisite.
FX is using eBay to promote the new season of The Riches, auctioning off a package of goodies for charity that includes $100,000 in cash, lunch with Minnie Driver and an authentic prop from the set of the show. Proceeds go to Oxfam America.
MySpace and nonprofit iKeepSafe.org unveiled a new internet public safety campaign to promote online safety awareness among parents, educators and teens. Components include a MySpace safety minisite and a PSA that will air on all Fox broadcast and cable networks.
Internet radio start-up ubroadcast.com launched a new comedy site featuring live shows such as LunaticRadio, broadcast live every Sunday at 5 pm EST.
Brad Greenspan’s LiveUniverse has gone public with a hostile takeover bid to acquire the Stage6 video sharing site recently shuttered by parent company DivX. LiveUniverse says its $11 million cash/advertising/equity bid was rejected by DivX’s management team and that offers to renegotiate have been rebuffed.
Publicis’ Saatchi & Saatchi and its client Toyota is launching a comedy-themed ad campaign with Google’s YouTube this week to promote the 2009 Corolla sedan. The $4 million campaign will center around a site called “Best in Jest,” featuring up and coming viral videos and a user-generated video contest, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting and David T. Cole, founders of the Television Without Pity blog acquired by Bravo a year ago, have left Bravo Media “to pursue dreams and ambitions” beyond TWoP, according to the site’s Telephile blog.
High-profile British actors including Jeremy Irons and Patrick Stewart have contributed to Friction.tv, human rights organization Amnesty International‘s rudimentary social networking site devised to spur positive change. Throw in some contributions from some savvy web designers and online marketing gurus and they could have something here.
