Cynopsis: Kids!
10/01/12

Good morning. It’s Monday, October 1, 2012, and this is your first early morning briefing.

Answering a few of our questions this week are Stu Snyder, President and COO, Turner Broadcasting System’s Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media, including Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Adult Swim and Robert Sorcher, Chief Content Officer, Cartoon Network. Today marks Cartoon Network’s (www.cartoonnetwork.com) official 20th birthday, which will feature a huge celebration in Atlanta, Georgia, where Cartoon Network and Turner are headquartered. Since its US launch on October 1, 1992, with just two million subscribers, the network can now be seen in nearly 100 million households (as of December 2011), as well as in 175+ countries and in 360+ million households worldwide. This year, Cartoon Network also has scored its most-watched spring and summer in its history. Happy Birthday Cartoon Network – save me a piece of cake!

Stu, what was Cartoon Network’s first big success and how did that success help create the culture of the network?

I think the project that really signaled Cartoon Network’s future success was the creation of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, our first “original” series in 1994 that really made a significant impact on popular culture.

The team at that time “repurposed” animation from a 1966 Hanna-Barbera superhero series and turned him (Space Ghost) into an interplanetary late-night talk show host. Live celebrity guests would appear on the show and asked a series of bizarre and awkward questions.

From the reaction the series received it proved that our audiences would welcome new original programming from us if it was unique and funny and that a substantial portion of our audience was made up of adults who never lost their love of cartoons (which of course led eventually to our launching Adult Swim). It truly did help to define Cartoon Network’s sensibility moving forward.

Rob, what makes a good property for Cartoon Network today?

One that doesn’t look or sound like anything else on our air. Preferably powered by a gifted artist who starts with characters or a world they’ve had in their head for a long time.

Rob, what attracted you to Cartoon Network when you joined the channel in 2007 from AMC, where you were working on a totally different kind of programming (most decidedly not for kids and families)?

This is my second tour of Cartoon Network, so I had some notion of what we could achieve here. I was drawn by the complexity and challenge of the job-Cartoon Network Studios, the international factors and the chance to truly find new ground in the TV animation genre. And I’m as proud of Adventure Time & Regular Show as I was of Mad Men and Breaking Bad.

Stu, how is the network celebrating its 20th birthday?

We’re doing a number of things to celebrate our birthday, all of which is geared as a “thank you” to our viewers and to all of the amazingly creative, hard-working people who’ve helped to make Cartoon Network what it is today. On Oct.1, our actual birthday, we’re replacing our regular programming line-up with a full day of birthday-themed episodes from both our classic and contemporary hit series. This will lead into the premiere of an original animated music video saluting Cartoon Network’s first 20 years, followed by the 100th episode of Adventure Time and the 4th Season premiere of Regular Show. And our weekends in October will offer viewers the opportunity to review and pick their all-time favorite characters and series by logging on to CartoonNetwork.com to vote.

At Cartoon Network locations across the country we are having a series of celebrations including one at our midtown headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. for all Turner Broadcasting employees, where we will recreate some of the elements from the original launch in 1992.

Rob, if you were going to buy a birthday gift for Cartoon Network  what would it be?

Captain Planet Uggs are always useful.

Stu, your first generation viewers are now parents or preparing for parenthood. What are you doing to appeal to them so that they want their kids to watch the network too?

One of the most effective things we’re doing to appeal to the generation that grew up on Cartoon Network is developing original shows that are created by artists who come from that same generation. They really do have a unique voice and great visual way of telling a story. We’re also having classic brands like Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes and Mad being re-envisioned and returned to our air in a wonderful new way.

Rob, How important is the concept of co-viewing to your network?

Even in the early days of Cartoon Network, a third of our audience has always been adults who loved animation. And today, 20 years later, we have parents who’ve literally grown up watching Cartoon Network that now watch with their kids. But we just try to make quality television and it happens that a large adult audience happens to enjoy those shows too.

Rob, what primetime programs are resonating the most with viewers?

We’re in a happy moment where all cylinders in prime are working.  Homegrown Cartoon Network originals like Adventure Time, Regular Show and The Amazing World of Gumball are driving ratings to record highs and other series like Ninjago, MAD and Annoying Orange have all become hits of their own. 

Stu, you have received many accolades for the network’s multi-platform, pro-social initiative Stop Bullying: Speak Up. Where do you plan to take the effort next?

We are really proud of Stop Bullying: Speak Up and how it has grown into a national movement in the three years since we introduced it in October 2010. We are extremely grateful for the support we have been getting from within our own company and outside organizations that are helping us spread the word about speaking up against bullying.

Our next important step, one that we’ve already started to take, is working with the Cartoon Network International territories and rolling out this campaign on an global basis and continuing to find ways to raise awareness and build on the campaign here in the States.

Stu, you have taken considerable heat from fans – and from some in the press – about featuring live-action programming on Cartoon Network. What do you say to those critics?

At the end of the day, Cartoon Network will always be about great animation. But we also think it is important to listen to our audience who told us that they wanted to see more of themselves on our air and would accept live-action programming provided that it still has the essence and sensibility of Cartoon Network.

Level Up is a great example of a live-action show that is working for us that our audience has embraced; and we’re looking forward to Incredible Crew, a sketch comedy show for kids from Nick Cannon, which is going to spotlight some great new talented young people.

Stu, What other new technologies are you looking at to expand the Cartoon Network universe?

We want and need to be wherever and whenever the audience wants to get our content. So, along with live-streaming of the network and the many different platforms we are already on, we want to continue to expand the experience of the Cartoon Network app which allows the viewer to watch video and play games (split screen) simultaneously on the iPad.

Stu, what was your favorite cartoon when you were growing up?

One of my favorite cartoons growing up was Speed Racer. Why? Cool car, lots of action, and a monkey… LOL!

Rob, what about you?

Anything from Chuck Jones.
