Cynopsis

02/27/08

Good Morning.  It’s Wednesday, February 27, 2008, and this is your first early morning briefing.

Liberty Media crossed two major hurdles in its takeover of DirecTV, the satellite provider with 16.8 million subscribers, as the FCC on Monday approved the move and the Justice Department said yesterday it will not block the transaction. Both approvals were needed for the $11 billion deal to close. Terms of the agreement state Liberty Media will receive News Corp.’s 38.4% interest in DirecTV in exchange for Liberty’s equity interest in News Corp. Liberty also picks up $550 million in cash and one regional sports network each in Denver, Pittsburgh and Seattle.

Yesterday members of the WGA West and WGA East voted to ratify the new three-year contract by 93.6% of the 4,060 votes cast. This ratification process follows the February 13 strike order lift by the WGA which ended the 14-week writers strike. The contract dates from February 13, 2008 through May 1, 2011 and includes terms giving writers rights and protections for content distributed on and created for online purposes and other new media platforms.

New York’s Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department yesterday reversed a judgment made in May 2007 which allowed Comcast to position the NFL Network on a sports tier. Last year, Comcast won the right in court to move the NFL Network to a more expensive sports tier if it did not acquire rights to the out-of-market NFL Sunday Ticket pay-per-view package or an eight-game primetime package for Versus. Both primetime packages were given to the NFL Network by the NFL in January 2006. A statement released by an NFL spokesperson said “We are pleased that the lower court decision was reversed. We believe that today’s decision ultimately will lead to the restoration of NFL Network service to the millions of fans who received it before the Network was moved to an expensive sports tier.” Comcast’s current contract with the NFL Network expires April 2009.

ABC’s new 30m comedy series Miss Guided starring Judy Greer and executive produced by Ashton Kutcher and Todd Holland will premiere March 18 at 1030p following a 90-minute installment of Dancing with the Stars. The sitcom about a high school teacher who returns to teach at her alma mater will move to its regular time slot March 20 with two episodes at 8p and 830p. The series is produced by 20th Century Fox Television and ABC Studios.

CYNOPSIS DIGITAL – TODAY’S TOP STORY:     Over 93% of the Writer’s Guild officially voted to ratify the new labor agreement struck 100 days after the strike began, the first to give WGA members a taste of digital revenues. The next battle for the WGA, SAG and the Teamsters Union is over cable and syndication licensing fees. California State Senator Shelia Kuehl (D-Los Angeles) introduced a bill in Sacramento this week, which sets out to end the practice of “underselling” TV series or movies (when networks give sweetheart deals to their affiliated companies.)  Full edition: CYN DIGITAL.
