Smith will all serve as executive producers.
Yesterday NBC reported its chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel and his network production team were freed from captors in Syria.

We are pleased to report they are safely out of the country.”
Nielsen revealed yesterday it will acquire its research rival Arbitron Inc. in a deal worth $1.26 billion. In the past, Arbitron competed against Nielsen in providing local television ratings.

HBO’s fantasy series Game of Thrones is super-sizing the third season. Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss are adapting the largest of the Song of Ice and Fire novel by author George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords and as a result are producing slightly longer episodes for HBO.
