Cynopsis
07/05/07
Good Morning, it’s Thursday, July 5, 2007 and this is your first early morning briefing.
NBC‘s big Live Earth concert is scheduled for 7/7/07, that’s Saturday night, and it will be shown around the world in 8 cities on all 7 continents, as well as back home on many of the NBC owned networks – Bravo, CNBC, Sundance, Telemundo, mun2 and Universal HD. Check listings for times on all these networks and where ever you are in the world. The cities hosting the event include Rutherford NJ, Sydney, London, Tokyo, Johannesburg, Shanghai, Hamburg and Rio de Janeiro. One note – if you’re in Rio and plan to attend the concert – you may need to think again. A judge there has cancelled the event because they don’t have enough police to manage it, a ruling local organizers are working to get turned over.
As for NBC, it will carry the event from 8-11p on Saturday. Additionally, this concert will carry a commercial load of only 10 minutes per hour, as opposed to the typical 18 minutes, and the broadcast will be on a slight delay to avoid any FCC-offensive utterings. Bravo’s coverage will go on for 18 hours, beginning on Saturday morning at 8am and continuing straight thru until 2am Saturday night. Sundance and Universal HD will each carry 22 hours, beginning when Sydney’s concert begins at 4am ET and concluding at 2am Saturday night. Telemundo picks up the action at 7p; and mun2 begins at 5p. 100 different musical acts will perform including Madonna, Sting, Spinal Tap, Smashing Pumpkins, The Police, Dave Matthews and Genesis.
Tonight’s Premieres:
CBS: Big Brother 8 at 8p
Comics Unleashed, the 30m daily comedy talk show from Entertainment Studios Inc. and created/hosted by Byron Allen, has been renewed in the top three markets on WCBS/New York, KABC/Los Angeles and WCIU/Chicago for this fall. In addition, the series has been renewed in 17 other markets with Clear Channel Television, and currently has clearances in 90% of the U.S.
For its Sunday night movie franchise that features British films, BBC America completed an agreement with Sony Pictures Television to air Layer Cake on July 29 at 8p. This action-thriller, previously only available on premium cable networks, stars Daniel Craig – that’s Craig, Daniel Craig, best known now as Bond, James Bond.
Last Sunday night’s finale of VH1’s Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School at 10p delivered a 2.4 A18-49 rating and 4.1 million total viewers.
Under a new partnership between JetBlue Airways Corporation and Fox, JetBlue is now the “official airline of Springfield,” as part of the support for Fox’s upcoming The Simpsons Movie, opening July 24, 2007. But this isn’t just a name folks, JetBlue has outfitted its first specialty aircraft that has been named “Woo-Hoo, JetBlue” and sports a picture of Homer Simpson, meanwhile inside passengers can watch continuous Simpson’s episodes in-flight on the Fox channel. The deal also includes a Simpsons Sweepstakes ( http://www.jetblue.com/simpsons) for its TrueBlue frequent flyer members.
The CW‘s new fall series Life is Wild, which sounds a little like the old series Daktari, about a NY Vet who moves his entire family to a game preserve in South Africa, has recast both the lead roles. Now in the role of the NY Vet is Brett Cullen; and playing his wife is Stephanie Niznik, per Hollywood Reporter.
And if you’re a Deadwood fan, you remember Brent Sexton as Harry Manning. He has now been added to the cast of NBC‘s new drama series Life. This story is about a cop who was wrongfully imprisoned and now is returning to join the police force. Sexton will play the returning cop’s partner.
Reportedly in talks to join the ranks at ABC‘s Desperate Housewives is Dana Delaney, who would play a character moving onto Wisteria Lane with her young daughter and decidedly younger husband. In the role of the daughter – Lyndsy Fonseca; and as the young husband – Nathan Fillion.
Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. moved Kris Nielsen-Refs and hired Harold Goings as Directors/Business Development. Both will find and create new business opportunities for various consumer platforms. Even though both are based in Atlanta, Kris will report to Tamara Franklin, VP/Business Development and Harold will report to Jeremy Leff, VP/Business Development.
Ken Wilkey has been named SVP/Telemundo Network Broadcast Operations. Based in Hialeah, FL, Ken will supervise all network broadcast operations, production services including scenery and program editing for the Spanish-language network. He will report to Derek Bond, EVP/Telemundo Studio & Broadcast Operations, in addition to a reporting relationship with John Wallace, EVP/Television Operations and Production Services, NBC Universal.
Foothill Entertainment, Inc. has promoted Patricia Ryan to EVP/Sales for the company’s international sales team.
Shenika Corlette has been advanced to GoScout Homes Account Executive at Cox Media in Hampton Roads, VA. She has been with Cox Media since May 2005.
