CYNTHIA TURNER’S
Cynopsis

05/09/06

Good Morning. It’s Tuesday, May 9, 2006, and this is your first early morning briefing.

Yesterday’s top item was that Warner Bros. Domestic TV Syndication would offer the syndicated rights to Two and A Half Men for both broadcaster’s air and as a broadband vehicle on the station’s website.  Today’s top item is again Warner Bros. who will be the first major studio distributing its films and TV shows over the internet via BitTorrent peer-to-peer technology, for both VOD and/or purchase.  The first offerings from Warner Bros. are expected this summer with titles including Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and TV shows including The Dukes of Hazzard and Babylon 5.  The whole idea here is to move those who tend to download pirated films and shows, to purchasing.  And using BitTorrent as the vehicle is also an interesting move as BitTorrent was once one of the favorite sites for links to popular pirated movies.

Tonight’s Finale:
WB:  Gilmore Girls at 8p
UPN:  Veronica Mars at 9p
Nick at Nite:  Search for the Funniest Mom in America at 930p
Bravo:  Real Housewives of Orange County – The Reunion at 10p

Joining the group over at 60 Minutes come fall will be Anderson Cooper as a contributing reporter. This won’t take away from his gig at CNN where he heads up Anderson Cooper 360.

iN DEMAND Networks will launch a block of original prime-time series developed for the hi-definition viewing audience called MOJO. A slate of new series is in production now and will be ready to premiere June 18 on INHD. The programs are targeted to an upscale psychographic dubbed “the MOJO men” who are considered avid yet underserved viewers of HDTV. Here is a brief description of the programs, most of which are half-hour in length:

• Three Sheets – Comedian Zane Lamprey travels around the world partaking in local drinking customs and traditions. 8 episodes.

• After Hours with Daniel – Chef Daniel Boulud hosts a rare glimpse inside the community of top NYC chefs as they prepare for late night dinners at many of Daniel’s fave restaurants. Guests will include other top chefs, celebrities and one food critic. 8 episodes.

• London Live! – Live performances and interviews with some of the biggest musical acts in the U.K. shot at the Koko Club. 20 episodes.
• Doctor Danger (working title) – Dr. Bob Arnot shares his love for exotic locales and intoxicating adventures with a touch of luxury, all with an element of danger. 8 episodes.
• Fueled – An inside look at the Pontiac GTO’s debut at “the Rolex” 24 Hours of Daytona, the oldest endurance race in America. 6 episodes.
• Technical Difficulties – Four people divided into two teams, battle in a scavenger hunt involving the mastery of today’s best tech toys. 8 episodes.
• Wall Street Warriors – A documentary series exploring the lives and attitude of those who make their livelihood on Wall Street. 8 episodes.

Comedy Central is in production with three new pilots: Mark and Mike stars Mark Borshardt and Mike Schank from American Movie, on their quest to make a new film in Milwaukee with no resources, but filled with many colorful characters; American Body Shop is an improvised narrative similar to the network’s series Reno 911, but set in the world of local auto body repair shops and the eccentric people who often work there; and an untitled DeRay Davis pilot will weave his urban point of view, his comedy stand-up comedy and his life experiences into this new half-hour variety show.
 
Kids TV real estate is growing again with the announcement of a new kids network that will feature bilingual programming content, from the combined efforts of Ion Media Networks (f/k/a Paxson Communications), Scholastic, NBC Universal, Telemundo, Corus Entertainment, and Classic Media/Big Idea.  The as yet unnamed network, which is being referred to by the consortium as Smart Place for Kids, will launch Saturday, September 2, 2006, and will air across multiple distribution platforms including programming blocks on Ion’s 60 broadcast stations, on NBC and Telemundo on Saturday mornings, the latter from October with plans to air the block on Sunday mornings come January 2007, and on a new 24/7 digital kids broadcast channel, as well as through video-on-demand services and a branded website.   The programming line-up and the name of the network are expected to be announced soon.

Heads up to you Knight Rider fans:  The old Glen A. Larson series from the ’80s is being made into a film, according to Hollywood Reporter.  Weinstein Co. has brought in Larson to write and exec produce the film.  This isn’t the first time the K.I.T.T. car had its tires kicked for a feature film – the project had been at Revolution Studios before. Production with Weinstein Co. is expected to start next year.

MTV Overdrive, the music channel’s broadband network, will offer an interactive dual screen experience to coincide with the airing of this year’s live Video Music Awards on August 31 and later this fall with the series Total Request Live. MTV Overdrive will air live programs designed exclusively for the broadband channel to support the on-air experiences of TRL and the VMAs and vice versa. This dual screen experience is just one of the various platforms deployed by MTV to enhance the VMAs.
 
GSN and Fun Technologies Inc. are partnering to televise the first annual million dollar Worldwide Web Games championship, potentially bringing millions of casual game players together in an interactive platform. GSN will begin promotions for the event this month, directing viewers to GSN.com to compete in qualifying Worldwide Web Games tournaments.

Lloyd Bolkcom, father of Chuck Bolkcom (Group Publisher/B&C and Variety) passed away last Thursday, May 4.  He was 78. Lloyd spent his professional career in television broadcasting, starting in the infancy of our industry as a producer and director. His commitment to social justice and equal opportunity was reflected in his broadcasting and various community activities. In retirement, Lloyd used his extensive skills in media relations as a consultant and volunteer, and was an enthusiastic world traveler, videographer and grandfather. Following his visitation and Mass today in Minneapolis, a memorial celebration will take place on May 20 at the Unitarian Church in Davenport, IA. Memorials preferred to Lloyd’s favorite charity: Heifer Project International, PO Box 8058, Little Rock, AR 72203, www.heifer.org.

The television industry lost another veteran this past week: Bob Clark, died at his home in Colorado on Saturday, May 6, after losing his fight to pancreatic cancer. He was 55. Over the course of his career, Bob was a programming veteran of Taft Broadcasting, BMA Broadcast Group, Gaylord Broadcast. Thereafter his impact on the television business turned decidedly international.  He was Head of Programming for Encore International’s venture in China, and while he was based in Denver, he spent a great deal of time in Hong Kong.  He later joined Storyfirst Broadcasting which moved him first to the Ukraine and ultimately to Moscow, where he spent the majority of the last ten years.  It was there that he met Luda, who would later become his wife.  Bob is also survived by his three children, Jon, currently a student at CU in Boulder and Stephanie and Jenn, both of whom live in Texas; and his ex-wife Bonnie Clark Brown.  The funeral is scheduled for Thursday in Bob’s hometown of Mayville, Wisconsin. Memorials in Bob’s name can be made to the PanCan (Pancreatic Cancer Action Network), www.pancan.org/Donate/donateline.html,  or by credit card by calling PanCran at 877-272-6226.
