A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM A+E NETWORKS
A+E Networks | Ad Sales Partnerships
Take a look at our latest wins.
New net Revolt launches today. At the Cynopsis Future TV Summit last week, CEO Keith Clinkscales explained the net is luring millennials with something many of them live and breathe: music. “We’re covering the whole music game,” said Clinkscales, with 24/7 videos and coverage of on-stage, backstage and late-breaking news about the industry. Added Clinkscales, “We want to over-serve fans.”
NBC gave up on Ironside and Welcome to the Family. The drama reboot has been canceled after three episodes, after a soft (1.3 A18-49) Wednesday 10p opening and subsequent ratings slide; comedy Welcome was no laughing matter, either, plunging from its anemic 1.2 opening rating in the demo on Thursdays.
On the bright side, the net named a fifth-season return date for Community (Thursday, January 2 at 8p), and a premiere date for Chicago Fire spin-off Chicago P.D. (Wednesday, January 8 at 10p).
CBS announced back nine pickups for rookie comedies The Millers, The Crazy Ones and Mom. Monday’s Mom has an average 2.6 rating in A18-49 at 9:30p, while Thursday’s Millers has a 3.2 average in the demo at 8:30p, and the Crazy Ones is averaging a 3.6 rating at 9p (though ratings have been lower without the Big Bang Theory lead-in Millers now enjoys).
Fox is showing faith in freshman sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine with not only a back nine pickup, but a one-hour “comedy event,” also featuring New Girl, to follow the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 2.
George Eads is back on the CSI set. The Wrap reports that the actor, who took a break after a scuffle with a writer on the procedural, is working again. CSI airs Wednesdays at 10p.
Bones viewers tonight will get a sneak peek at upcoming sci-fi drama Almost Human, the heavily promoted show taking over the long-running Fox procedural’s 8p Monday berth on November 4. Bones moves to Fridays at 8p starting November 8.
You can’t keep Betty White down. NBC didn’t renew Betty White’s Off Their Rockers for a third season, but Lifetime just picked up 20 original episodes of the hidden camera show, says the Hollywood Reporter. The cable channel has aired repeats of the Kinetic Content production, which returns in 2014.
The 44th annual GMA Dove Awards, celebrating gospel and Christian music, airs on “uplifting family entertainment net” UP for the fifth year tonight at 8p. Hosts are Amy Grant and Kirk Franklin.
The 19th annual SAG Awards was honored for the fifth consecutive year with the Environmental Media Association‘s Green Seal, presented at the EMA Awards on Saturday, recognizing SAG’s green efforts, like paperless online-only nomination submissions. The 20th annual SAG Awards will be simulcast live on TNT and TBS Saturday, January 18, 2014.
Tide has launched a Halloween campaign, “Stains Better Be Scared,” that Vines scenes from classic horror movies. The Procter & Gamble brand debuted a video Friday spoofing the prom nightmare movie Carrie, which hit theaters that day; there will be six more six-second installments on the mobile-social video platform before October 31.

Nielsen’s Live + 3 numbers for AMC‘s Walking Dead season four premiere smashed another record. With 20.2 million viewers, the zombie drama was the most-watched non-sports broadcast in cable history. The show scored 16.1 million viewers during its October 13 airing.
CBS’s Undercover Boss was up half a point from last week, according to preliminary Nielsens, with a 1.8 A18-49 rating, helping lead the net to a demo and total viewer victory on Friday.
ABC‘s Shark Tank also took a jump on Friday, to 1.9 A18-49, enough to make it the highest-rated broadcast program of the night.
A 1.3/4 rating in A18-49 was enough to put CW‘s Vampire Diaries ahead of NBC‘s Welcome to the Family (that won’t happen again – RIP Welcome, .9/3) and ABC‘s Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (1.2/4). But it didn’t help the premiere of Reign, which bowed with a modest .8/2
