~ ELSEWHERE IN CYNOPSIS ~

CYNOPSIS DIGITAL – TODAY’S TOP STORY:  After years of flirting and false starts, Microsoft hammered out a 10-year search and advertising partnership with Yahoo that will take effect beginning in early 2010, pending regulatory approval. The agreement will utilize Yahoo’s sales force to sell premium search ad space and place Redmond’s well-received Bing search technology at the center of the entire Yahoo network. Microsoft will not shell out a large upfront payment like once discussed, but the company will offer revenue guarantees throughout the term of the deal and return most of the search revenue generated from Yahoo’s sites. Yahoo investors weren’t crazy about the news (shares fell by 8%,) but industry analysts viewed the partnership as the best hope at combating Google’s dominant position in search. The two have their work cut out for them as, combined, they accounted for less than half of Google’s 65% market share in June, according to ComScore. Full edition: CYN DIGITAL.    

CYNOPSIS KIDS – TODAY’S TOP STORY:  Disney XD has begun production in Hollywood on its live-action/music-filled comedy I’m In The Band (formerly known as Viper Slap).  The series revolves around Tripp, a teen boy living out his dream, as he becomes a member his favorite classic rock band.  Tripp is determined to help the band, comprised of a bunch of misfits, get it together for a major comeback, while in turn they find their own way of helping him navigate the teen experience.  Created by Michael Kaplan (Frasier, Girlfriends) and Ron Rappaport, the series executive producers are Michael Kaplan (Frasier, Girlfriends) and Richard Gurman (Married … with Children, Still Standing), the series will star Logan Miller, Steve Valentine, Greg Baker and Stephen Full.  Full edition: CYN KIDS
