Cynopsis

01/24/08

Good Morning.  It’s Thursday, January 24, 2008, and this is your first early morning briefing.  

A little good news for striking WGA writers – NBC and Universal Media Studios will not pull the plug on its script orders for the 2008-09 season, scripts the writers didn’t have a chance to deliver before the strike was called.  This is contrary to the announcements from other broadcast networks who pulled back on dozens of early script orders.

Tonight’s Premieres:
PBS: This Old House at 8p
BBC America: Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares at 8p
MOJO: Bobby G: Adventure Capitalist at 930p and Start-Up Junkies at 10p

Bravo’s culinary series Top Chef returns for season four March 12 at 10p, this time in Chicago. During this new season, 16 aspiring chefs will compete in the Windy City for the grand prize and the chance to be called “Top Chef.” Host Padma Lakshmi will be back for Top Chef: Chicago along with judges Tom Colicchio, Gail Simmons and Ted Allen.

Broadcast Evening News Ratings Wrap-Up: Week of January 14, 2008:
NBC: 9.57 million total viewers and 2.3/8 A25-54
ABC: 9.23 million total viewers and 2.3/8 A25-54

GAC opens a new series Introducing … on February 24 at 930p, giving country music fans an inside look at their favorite performers and their road to becoming famous. Episode one will be about new star Luke Bryan.

A handful of CBS scheduling notes:

• CBS will debut the pilot of Dexter, the Showtime drama about a forensics expert who happens to be a serial killer, on February 17 at 10p.
• Power of 10 comes off the CBS schedule effective immediately, and will replace the time period with a variety of sitcoms (all repeats), reports Variety. Look for Power of 10 to return this summer.
• Price is Right returns to primetime with Drew Carey, starting Friday, February 22 at 8p.  That scheduling move will push Ghost Whisperer back to 9p, and Moonlight goes on hiatus.

TBS will introduce its new BITCOMS this month to compliment its line-up of comedies. A BITCOM is a :30 commercial adjacency within sitcoms on TBS, each including an original stand-up routine that also integrates an advertiser, followed by a :30 commercial from the sponsor. I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! will begin its BITCOMS this week during Everybody Loves Raymond. 

Starz Entertainment signed deals with five major studios for new film content including exclusive first-run output agreements with Disney-ABC Domestic Television and Sony Pictures Television until 2012 and 2013 respectively. Other deals comprised of movie library acquisitions from Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution, MGM Worldwide Television Group and Universal Pictures which will provide nearly 1,200 films and TV series. The agreements also give Starz Entertainment the ability to offer content on multiple distribution outlets including its 16 linear channels, HD, Starz On Demand, Starz Play and Vongo.

On January 27, Discovery Times Channel will transition into Investigation Discovery (ID), focused on investigative and current affairs content. Kicking off the revamped network will be the premiere of Fugitive Strike Force January 29 at 10p and Dateline on ID January 30 at 10p.

A handful of pre-NATPE announcements –

• Meredith Corporation sold its daily one-hour lifestyle program, Better to LIN TV Corp., Northwest Broadcasting and Fisher Communications stations, adding 12 new markets across the US.

• Litton Entertainment will launch Better Living this March, a series of daily one-minute news segments exclusive to one station in each market.

TNT has ordered up ten episodes of a new project from Steven Bochco called Raising the Bar, produced by ABC Studios and Bochco Media.  The legal drama stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Gloria Ruben and Jane Kaczmarek, about a public defender looking to help the down trodden.

MTV Networks’ Entertainment Group made a talent and development pact with videogame journalist Geoff Keighley, host of Spike TV’s Game Head which returns on Spike TV this Friday renamed as GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley. Geoff will serve as executive producer on the revamped show and will also begin a development deal with Spike to create new programming for the network, be a consultant on the annual Video Game Awards show on Spike and host several specials.

Fox‘s sci fi drama project Fringe has cast two of its three lead roles with John Noble and Lance Reddick, reports THR.  The Warner Bros. TV and Bad Robot project is about scientist, an agent from Homeland Security and FBI agent all working on the paranormal.  Noble plays the scientist; Reddick the agent from Homeland security.  The female FBI agent has not yet been cast.

Casting Call: Casting for NBC’s America’s Got Talent begins immediately in 13 cities: Orlando, Nashville, Charlotte, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, New Orleans, Brandon, Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. Producers are looking for specialty acts such as dance groups, opera singers, acrobats, impersonators, kids groups and more. Send an email with your city and talent in the subject line (ex. New York-acrobats) to
and include the following must-have information: name, phone numbers, description of talent, interesting facts about yourself, a photo, city you will audition in (one of the 13 above) and time slot you would like (between 9a and 6p) and you must include a video link or mp3 of you performing. Applicants without a video link will not be considered. All other talent who would like to audition should visit the website to register: www.NBC.com/AGT .

CYNOPSIS DIGITAL – TODAY’S TOP STORY: CBS Interactive acquisition Last.fm launched a free ad supported on demand music streaming platform, signing deals with all 4 major labels and another 150,000 indie outfits to offer social listeners some 3.5 million different tracks to choose from. Last.fm’s software prohibits its 15 million users from listening to tracks more than 3 times before purchasing them from partners including iTunes or Amazon. (But then again log-ins aren’t initially required, so anyone who knows how to delete cookies can get around this.) The site also provides unsigned artists with a way to reach listeners through viral recommendations, and just like their label partners, earn royalties on per-download basis. Advertisers will be able to reach listeners based on years of user data. It will be interesting to see if video becomes the next frontier for Last.fm. CBS has said it hopes to use the site to build new communities around Viacom as well as non-Viacom video content.   Full edition: CYN DIGITAL.

CYNOPSIS KIDS – TODAY’S TOP STORY: ReelTime Rentals, inc., the broadband video rental service, has entered into a deal with Sony Pictures Television under which Sony will provide a range of feature films to ReelTime.  The list of movies that will join ReelTime’s roster is comprised of titles across genres and new releases, including youth oriented Surf’s Up and Spider-Man 3.  Full edition: CYN KIDS.

CYNOPSIS INTERNATIONAL – TODAY’S TOP STORY:  MySpace inked its first international deal with a major broadcaster, BBC Worldwide (BBCW), to import short video clips from BBCW programs.  MySpaceTV users globally will be able to subscribe to a BBCW channel to see and share clips from shows such as Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Top Gear with more than 1,500 current and archived clips available.  Full edition: CYN INTERNATIONAL.  And an extra note – the Cynopsis International NATPE 2008 Shopping Guide will be going out to Int’l edition subscribers later on this morning. At that time, you’ll also find it online in the Cynopsis Archives at www.cynopsis.com (click on the Archive tab at the top of the home page).
