Cynopsis

1/24/07

Good Morning, it’s  Wednesday, January 24, 2007 and this is your first early morning briefing.

Recent reports indicate Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. has joined the Tribune bidding process, teaming with Tribune Co. shareholder, the Chandler family. The Chandler main interest is in the newspaper properties owned by Tribune, of which there are 11, including the Long Island paper Newsday, a competitor to Murdoch’s New York based The Post, and a publication Murdoch is reportedly most interested in gaining a stake.  In this bid, Tribune Co. would sell off its 23 local broadcast station holdings.  Tribune met over the weekend to review the three bids before it – the Chandler bid, private equity firm The Carlyle Group, and two LA-based billionaires Eli Broad and Ronald W. Burkle. Initially Tribune was most interested in selling as a single unit, tho each of the bids are more interested in specific parts.

Tonight’s Premiere:
ABC:  George Lopez at 8p

The Greg Behrendt Show will not be renewed for a second season.  The Sony Pictures Television series will finish out the season.  According to TV Week, the show’s major launch group, Tribune, chose not to renew for Season #2, and instead opted for NBC Universal’s new daytimer with Jerry Springer bodyguard Steve Wilkos.  This is the third syndicated freshman show that has officially been passed on for year two – the other two were The Megan Mullally Show and Geraldo at Large.

VERSUS will broadcast the first season of World Combat League (WCL), the first-ever martial arts team league founded by Chuck Norris last year. The first episode premieres Thursday at 11p, and, in total, VERSUS will air around 27 hours of WCL coverage in primetime in 2007.
 
MTV has greenlit season two of its series Rob and Big for air on both MTV and MTV2 starting this second quarter. The eight new episodes will follow the daily lives of professional DC Shoes skateboarder, Rob Dyrdek and his bodyguard and best friend, Christopher “Big Black” Boykin in and around their Hollywood Hills home.

Also at MTV, the network and Verizon Wireless announced a new event series titled MTV Live which will feature live artist performances. The monthly series will be recorded in front of a live audience at the Hard Rock Cafe NY in Times Square and will be presented across the MTV platforms, including MTV Mobile on V CAST. The first episode will premiere on February 6 at 1130p with a commercial-free performance by Fall Out Boy The series will be specifically customized for each screen with a live interactive text-to-screen element, video footage, and more.
