Cynopsis: Kids!
07.31.13
Good morning. It’s Wednesday, July 31, 2013, and this is your first early morning briefing.
Are you a morning person? Sprout is giving aspiring actors and fans the opportunity to audition for the role of live morning show host with its launch of a national competition to find the next great preschool TV host. Now through August 31, hosting hopefuls can upload a 60-second audition video including their rendition of Sprout’s “Happy Birthday Song” at SproutOnline.com. Each day in August, Sprout will put the most notable videos on its YouTube channel, giving fans the opportunity to watch and participate in the Sprout Host Hunt. A live event will be held in LA on Aug. 23 at Universal CityWalk where Carly, one of The Sunny Side Up Show co-hosts, will join Chica – the world’s most famous chicken–to entertain fans and help prepare contestants for their audition. Three finalists will be flown to the set of The Sunny Side Up Show in Philadelphia in September, where they will have the chance to audition with Chica live in front of the show’s producers. The Sprout Host Hunt winner will be announced in December.
Speaking of Sprout… the net’s new trio of acquired series Sarah and Duck, Zou and Stella & Sam all hail from outside the U.S. and are exclusive to the network in the States. We wondered if exclusivity is the new bar for Sprout’s acquired content going forward. “We aren’t looking solely at exclusive content, but it’s very important to cable operators and it’s very important to us from a brand standpoint,” network president Sandy Wax told CynKids. “Shows like this which are exclusive and very high quality are often produced internationally, so we will continue to look at acquisitions around the world.” Sprout also airs Iceland-produced Lazytown, which is also currently exclusive to the net. Back in the world of original programming, the season two of Sprout’s hit The Chica Show debuted Monday (July 29).
Hub Network has set Saturday, Oct. 26, as the date for its inaugural Halloween Bash. The newest kids net didn’t waste much time jumping on the signature-event bandwagon–and it’s going big. The live-to-tape special will take place at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, be exec-produced by Bob Bain (Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards and Fox’s Teen Choice Awards) and produced by Paul Flattery, and air five to seven times around the holiday. A “spooktacular” event is the perfect dovetail with Hub’s cache of safe-scary programming including Goosebumps and RL Stine’s The Haunting Hour. The Halloween Bash will include entertainment, plus a nationwide costume competition with finalists from every state. “We’re trying to celebrate all kinds of families, stimulate imagination and creativity and I think we’re going to be blown away by the level of what we see and the creativity,” Hub president/CEO Margaret Loesch tells CynKids exclusively. “Think about it–a whole class of from a school in southern Illinois [where I lived for a while when I was a child] could be the winner. Or a couple, or an individual. We want it to be very egalitarian. Anybody can win if they have the best costume. They don’t have to sing or dance; they just have to have a great imagination.” Celeb host, presenters, judges and musical acts are sure to be in abundance and will be announced shortly.
A kid block for every niche: No matter which age or stage your child is in, there’s a network that’s got their Saturday mornings covered. The latest is CBS, which is partnering with Litton Entertainment on the three-hour “The CBS Dream Team, It’s Epic” block, which debuts Sept. 28 and aimed at those hard-to-pin-down 13-16-year-olds. The FCC educational/informational compliant programming block consists six new high-def half-hours packed with pro-social messages. Here’s the lineup:
Lucky Dog: Animal trainer Brandon McMillan swoops into animal shelters and rescues hard-to-love, unadoptable dogs and sets to work turning the frightened pooches into perfect pets.
Dr. Chris Pet Vet: Chronicles the adventures of Dr. Chris Brown, one of the world’s busiest vets, and the animals he devotes his days to caring and treating.
Recipe Rehab: Families submit their favorite high-calorie, family-style recipes, and two chefs face off in a head-to-head competition to give the recipes a low-calorie, tasty twist.
Jamie Oliver’s 15-Minute Meals: Oliver, of the Emmy-winning Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, has perfected a delicious collection of healthy recipes that can be prepared in no time.

The series curriculum focuses on citizenship, social skills and problem-solving. The Paw Patrol works together to protect the Adventure Bay community believing that “No job is too big, no pup is too small!”
Sprout continues to strike new musical notes. Kids crooners Dan Zanes and Elizabeth Mitchell will stop by the network’s live Sunny Side Up Show on Thursday, Aug. 29, for some tunes and chatter. Chica from the Chica Show will also visit Zanes’ studio later this summer and Sprout will air a short video in the fall.

Two new series renewals from Disney-land.

INSIDE THE BELTWAY
Big fines for children’s television violations are flowing from the FCC. Broadcast Law Blog reports the Commission is looking at fines up to $20,000 per incident for violations of the obligations to prepare and file Children’s Television Reports as it continues to assess license renewal applications filed by TV stations over the last year. Fines determined in the past two weeks target both full-power stations and Class A stations. The larger fines are being doled out not only for failure to file the reports with the FCC on a timely basis but also because of late placement of the reports into the station’s public file, and the failure to report the deficiencies in compliance on the license renewal forms.
GAMING & APPS

RESEARCH & TRENDS
Facebook users are more interested in chatting about broadcast shows than they are about cable TV. That’s the word from research firm Trendrr, which compared social activity on Facebook to Twitter, and while TV-related chatter is about five times greater on Facebook than on Twitter (and two smaller social apps), the service logged seven times the activity levels of the smaller social networks for broadcast, versus 4.5 times for cable shows.
