Cynopsis: Kids!
03.20.13
Good morning. It’s Wednesday, March 20, 2013, and this is your first early morning briefing.
We’ve got kids news covered for you daily during Upfront season…
The Hub just completed a significant study of family television viewing habits, and Lorrie Copeland, SVP, consumer insights and strategy, shared preliminary “headlines” with CynKids.
The study involved placement of a camera on top of the primary television in about 20 homes, which took a photo every five minutes for four consecutive days. Two follow-up portions of the research then collected data sans camera on the viewing habits of several hundred families. “We learned a ton about how television viewing becomes a hub for the family,” Copeland says. Among early findings:
- “Although second screen devices are becoming more prevalent, live TV still dominates with kids vs. other opportunities,” she says.
- When it’s moms and kids watching, moms let kids control the remote. When it’s dads and kids, dad is in control of the remote.
- When children and parents tube together, it’s for longer stretches. “They’re more likely to watch for 2 hours or more when they watch together,” Copeland says, though that’s probably because they’re viewing a movie or other long-form content, she adds.
Programming Picks
Animated series Transformers Prime returns for a third season on The Hub this Friday.
Kids entertainment developer HIT Entertainment has given the green light to a new CGI series based on preschool favorite Fireman Sam, plus a feature-length special based on the character. Production is due to start in December in China at digital animation company Xing Xing, and Turner Broadcasting already has acquired the series to run on its U.K. channel Cartoonito, where Fireman Sam’s predecessor series has been the top-rated show since 2009.
Indie producer Novel Entertainment has sold its series Horrid Henry to a slate of new broadcasters through Zodiak Kids, its global distribution partner. The series will also make an online debut via new availability for download via iTunes.
Digital Update
Random House’s Delacorte Press Books for Young Readers will release author Robert Cormier’s classic young adult novels in ebook format for the first time. The twelve digital editions, including Fade and Heroes, launched on March 19.
