CYNTHIA TURNER’S
Cynopsis

03/09/06

Good morning. It’s Thursday, March 9, 2006, and this is your first early morning briefing.

VNU will be taken over by six private equity firms who will collectively purchase the company for $8.9 billion and assumption of debt, bringing the whole deal to $10.3 billion.  The six firms are operating under a single consortium company called Valcon Acquisitions, and is made up of The Blackstone Group, The Carlyle Group, Thomas H. Lee Partners, AlpInvest Partners, Hellman & Friedman, and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.  The deal must still get the stamp of approval from VNU’s shareholders, which may be a struggle in itself as some of the shareholders believe the company would see a higher sale price if the company was split into pieces.  In the event the deal does go thru, current VNU CEO Rob van den Bergh will step aside.  VNU is comprised of three distinct areas – market research, media research and business data, and among the VNU subsidiaries are Nielsen Media Research, Claritas, IMS Media Solutions, Hollywood Reporter, SRDS and Scarborough Research. The company was founded in 1964 following the merger of two Dutch entities, and has headquarters in New York City and in The Netherlands.

Tonight’s Finale:
WB: Beauty & the Geek at 9p

* MORE GOOD STUFF *The CW has signed another long-term affiliation agreement with Belo Corp.’s KASW/Phoenix.  This brings the CW’s total number of markets to 38, covering more than 55% of the country, with affiliates in 26 of the top 30 markets. 

Bunim-Murray Productions has formed M Theory Entertainment, a spin-off company focusing on new media initiatives.  M Theory Entertainment will provide fresh content while adapting BMP’s existing programming for the Internet and mobile wireless devices.  Already underway are 36 mobisodes produced for The Simple Life which will be available through Verizon V-Cast.

CMT premieres its new series CMT Greatest Moments on April 8 at 8p. The one-hour series will show great accomplishments of country’s biggest stars. 

Spike TV‘s premiere of its new original series Pros vs. Joes delivered 460,000 Men 18-34 and 795,000 Men 18-49 on last Monday at 10p. Overall the premiere pulled in 1.7 million viewers.  Pros vs. Joes is produced by Mess Media, MY Entertainment, and Live Nation.

National Geographic Channel will be holding their upfront presentation this evening in New York City and plans to make a handful of announcements.  Among the series to be renewed are three, each returning for their third seasons: Naked Science, Seconds from Disaster and MegaStructures. Additionally, the Explorer series is moving to Wednesday nights at 9p from Sunday nights.  Nat Geo will also be announcing six specials including The Living Body, Amazing Planet (also the theme of the Upfront evening), Galapagos and two In the Womb specials.

Univision Communications and Comcast signed a multi-year agreement providing for continued carriage of the Univision Network, TeleFutura Network and Galavisión Network to Comcast customers nationwide.

SportsNet New York has partnered with the NY Daily News to debut Daily News Live during SportsNet New York’s first broadcast day, next Thursday, March 16 at 5p. Telecast in high-def from SNY’s Manhattan-based street-level studio at Rockefeller Center West. Hosted by Gary Apple, the show will air five nights a week.

Do you care that the most recent Bachelor and his reality show choice of bride have split up?  Me neither.

ImaginAsian TV will premiere its new original production Comedy Zen on March 24 at 8:30p.  Hosted by comedian Joey Guila, this six-part live-to-tape series features a multi-ethnic roster of the country’s brightest stand-up acts.

As Sci-Fi Channel‘s Battlestar Galactica gets ready for its season finale this Friday, it also is preparing for its return for Season #3 next October. Sci Fi has given the series a 20-episode order, and it will return to its regular Friday night time period. The full cast will return, and Lucy Lawless will join the cast for a 10-episode story arc. Battlestar Galactica is from NBC Universal Television Studio.

* NEW ORDERS / CASTING / DEVELOPMENT / PRODUCTION *CW‘s second green lit series for the upcoming season is He Said, She Said, from Warner Bros. TV and CBS Paramount Network.  Producers are currently in negotiations with Nick Lachey to star.

CBS has a new pilot project – You’ve Reached the Elliotts, starring Chris Elliott about a guy attempting to balance his private life with his public life. The project will be produced by Warner Bros. TV and Tannenbaum Co.

Casting Notes …

Fox‘s comedy project Julie Reno, Bounty Hunter, has cast Erin Daniels to star.  Also for Fox, comedy pilot Union Jackass has signed Jenica Bergere to co-star opposite Al Murray.  Bergere plays the ex-wife to Murray’s British Archie Bunker type character.

CBS‘ superhero comic-book drama Ultra has added Richard Coyle as Cryptic Man.  The show is focused on a young woman who is single, living in the city, and also happens to be a superhero.

Joining Bonnie Hunt in her untitled comedy project for ABC are Dennis Miller, Joe Mantegna and Lauren Tom. In the project Hunt plays a divorcee who is also a private detective. Mantegna plays the ex-husband, and Miller her shrink.

Correction:  Yesterday’s edition mentioned Simon Baker and Jonny Lee Miller cast in a show called The Guardian.  Many of you remember The Guardian has long come and gone from the primetime schedule.  The show with these two actors along with Ray Liotta and Virginia Madsen is for CBS and is called Smith.

* EXECUTIVE MOVES *Guy D. (Doc) Holliday has been named SVP/Advertising Operations for the Daily News.  He makes the move from The New York Times where most recently he was VP/Advertising.

Matt Timothy has been named SVP/New Media Sales for National Cable Communications, reporting to NCC President Greg Schaefer.  Matt will develop strategic sales platforms and focus on the company’s sales efforts in the new media space, particularly VOD. He’ll also collaborate with NCC’s MSO partners to maximize new technologies for spot advertisers.

Randy Rovegno has joined Image Factory as Vice President. Randy will be based in LA and oversee sales and marketing for the full-service marketing, branding, and promotions agency.

Jamie Gao becomes Director/International Sales and Acquisitions for Bennett Media Worldwide.

* RATINGS *Tuesday – A18-49 Analysis:  Fox led Tuesday night with a 10.0/25 A18-49, according to fast affiliate ratings from Nielsen Media Research. CBS was #2 with a 4.2/11. At 8p Fox led the pack with an 11.6/30 for American Idol, tripling #2 ranked CBS’ NCIS share. At 9p Fox easily held its lead with an 8.4/20 for House, while CBS was #2 with a 5.1/12 for its premiere of The Unit.  ABC’s premiere of Sons & Daughters earned a 3.2/8 for its back-to-back episodes.  At 10p, CBS led with a  3.7/10 for Amazing race, while NBC and ABC tied with a 9 share.
