CYNTHIA TURNER’S
Cynopsis
07/06/06
Good Morning. It’s Thursday, July 6, 2006, and this is your first early morning briefing.
ABC has closed its Upfront 2006 books, with a total tally of $2.3 billion in ad sales with CPM increases of 3%-4%. That number also includes sports such as college football and NASCAR. Overall, the network sold between 75% and 80% of its ad sales inventory and finished ahead of last year by $200 million, thanks in large part to Grey’s Anatomy and Lost. Also it should be noted the ABC tally for previous years did not include Monday Night Football revenue – that was accounted for separately. ABC is the last of the broadcast networks to finish their upfront selling – Fox brought in $1.8 billion in sales, CBS $2.4 billion, NBC $1.9 billion and finally The CW which brought in an estimated $650 million. The total five network upfront market for 2006-07 season is now at the $9.05 billion mark, down slightly from last year’s $9.1 billion when there were six networks in the running. My Network TV has not completed its upfront sales yet and to date has brought in an estimated $50 million in its upfront dealings.
Tonight’s Premiere:
CBS:Â Big Brother All Stars at 8p

Grupo Televisa, S.A. is interested in selling all or part of its 11.4% stake in Univision following the definitive sales agreement between the U.S. Spanish-language network and the Haim Saban-led group. The Mexican media giant filed a Schedule 13D with the SEC stating that it had written a letter on June 30th to the Providence Equity-led Umbrella Holdings in which it announced that it would not rollover its shares as allowed by Univision and Umbrella’s Merger Agreement. In the SEC filing, Televisa mentioned that it would no longer be bound by the October 2, 1996 Participation Agreement if its holdings fell below 13,578,084 shares of class T common stock. If Televisa is no longer obligated to honor the agreement, it will be able to pursue other U.S. Hispanic business prospects without having to consult Univision. This does not affect the Televisa-Univision programming agreement, which is legally binding until 2017.
The Africa Channel will premiere August 1 in Washington D.C. on Comcast Digital Cable Channel 678.
