A whole lot more people saw programs that aired during the broadcast nets’ premiere week than initial numbers indicated. CBS reports that with 30-day multi-platform playback counts in, the 7.4 million viewers for Hostages recorded in fast nationals swelled to 15.5 million with 30-day playback, up 110 percent. Elementary gained 57 percent, to 16 million viewers, and The Big Bang Theory jumped 38 percent, to 26.1 million. Freshman comedy The Crazy Ones increased to 23.5 million viewers, a 52 percent bump.
ABC gave a thumbs up – with full-season orders – to The Goldbergs and Trophy Wife, issuing a less hearty order of four more episodes to Super Fun Night. Back In the Game has not been picked up, but will finish out the remainder of its 13 episodes. Goldbergs, Fun and Game all scored a 1.7 rating in A18-49 last week, but Goldbergs was the only show to build on its lead-in. Wife earned a 1.4 in the demo but is the only show owned by the network.
JFK: Inside the Evidence premieres on Reelzchannel tonight. The doc, hosted by journalist Bill Kurtis, examines evidence presented in JFK: The Smoking Gun, which premiered last night and airs again tonight at 7p, that suggests President Kennedy died from a bullet accidentally shot from a Secret Service agent’s gun. On Tuesday, November 5, Killing JFK 50 Questions Answered debuts at 7p. “The story of the Kennedys is in Reelz’s DNA,” says net CEO Stan Hubbard. “Viewers look to us for Kennedy programming.”
Mythbusters hosts Grant Imahara and Tory Bellici were at the Los Angeles International Airport when a gunman opened fire on Friday, confirmed Discovery Channel. “Grant and Tory are safe and being rerouted,” said the net in a statement Friday afternoon. “Our thoughts are with all those affected by today’s tragedy and our gratitude goes out to the members of the LAPD, Airport Police, TSA, and Virgin America staff.” Bachelor host Chris Harrison was also on the scene, and Mad Men was filming in a nearby terminal.
Lifetime canceled Sony Pictures Television drama The Client List after two seasons. Although there were reports that tension over star Jennifer Love Hewitt‘s storyline hastened the axe, ratings didn’t help the season two finale drew 2 million viewers, down from 2.7 million for season one.
History Channel and Rockwell Tools launched a new integrated marketing campaign, “Rock Your Garage,” across social and digital platforms that will also include retail promotions in Lowe’s stores. The centerpiece of the campaign: a sweepstakes, running through January 31, tied to the net’s Counting Cars marathon airing Friday, December 6. Prizes include a restored hot rod, a set of Rockwell tools and a $500 Lowe’s gift card.
Sprinkles Cupcakes is teaming with CBS sitcom 2 Broke Girls, about aspiring cupcake mavens, for November 10’s National Vanilla Cupcake Day (yes, there is such a thing). From November 1-15, Sprinkles is offering 2 Broke Not So Vanilla cupcakes. “We liked the idea of putting a Broke twist on National Vanilla Cupcake Day,” said Lisa Gregorian, Chief Marketing Officer, Warner Bros. Television Group. Broke airs Mondays at 8:30p.
In the wake of a report by Al Jazeera America claiming that California State Senator Ron Calderon took tens of thousands of dollars from undercover FBI agents after assuring them he could arrange adjustments to the state’s Film and TV tax credit program, Calderon has been yanked from the California Film Commission, “If for no other reason, the appearance of impropriety,” said President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.
Fox International Channels launches Spanish-language lifestyle net FOX Life today, transitioning Utilisima to the brand. “Our goal is to unify and leverage the best lifestyle content,” said FIC Latin America president Carlos Martinez, “and grow Fox’s international recognition even more.”
