The November sweep is coming to a close and expectations point to NBC coming out ahead of CBS, FOX and ABC.  This marks the first time NBC has earned a first place since 2002.  NBC can credit its ratings strength with the fall edition of The Voice, Sunday Night Football and with solid performances from new series Revolution and Go On.  To date, NBC is currently averaging a 2.8 A18-49 rating which is +17% higher than CBS in second place which is averaging a 2.4 in the demo; FOX is in third place with a 2.3 and ABC in fourth with a 2.2 average.  CBS is winning November sweep with total viewers at an average of 10.3 million with ABC next at 7.93 million, NBC a close third at 7.92 million and FOX at 6.5 million.  In addition, Univision Network reported it will finish the November sweep period with an audience gain in broadcast primetime of +4% with total viewers and +1% among A18-49 versus the November 2011 sweep.  Univision’s sister network, TeleFutura has jumped by +58% among total viewers and +51% among A18-49. 

The American Federation of Musicians of the US and Canada (AFM) forged a new agreement with NBC, CBS and ABC and their representatives for live and recorded TV.  The previous agreement was concluded ten years ago and this new deal covers hundreds of musicians who perform in weekly variety shows like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.  The new TV/Videotape Agreement additionally covers house bands and guest artists of late night shows such as Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Smithsonian Channel approved a new original series L.A. Frock Stars giving viewers a glimpse into the world of high-end vintage fashion.  The six-episode unscripted series, marking Smithsonian Channel’s first, is slated to premiere March 7 at 8p.  L.A. Frock Stars follows Doris Raymond, considered the doyenne of Hollywood vintage and goes inside her Los Angeles shop The Way We Wore.  Celebrity stylists flock to her shop and Raymond has also supplied wardrobe for various film and television productions including Titanic, Boardwalk Empire, W.E. and Casino.  NHNZ is co-producing the series with Smithsonian Channel and BBC Worldwide.

News Corp. yesterday announced it has purchased a 49% equity stake in the Yankees Entertainment and Sports (YES) Network.  The channel’s current owners, Yankee’s Global Enterprises, Goldman Sachs and its other investors will reduce their ownership share.  In three years, News Corp. may acquire an additional stake for up to 80% while Yankee Global Enterprises would still hold a minority stake.  Reports indicate the deal is valued at $1.5 billion or more (YES is valued at close to $3 billion).  The investment is expected to close by the end of 2012.  Tracy Dolgin, President/CEO of YES Network released this statement in part following the announcement:

“We at YES, along with the New York Yankees and our financial partners Goldman Sachs, NJ Holdings and Providence Equity, had an incredible opportunity to build a network that quickly became – and remains — the number one regional sports network in the country, based on any metric. We were able to accomplish this because we have the greatest sports brand in the world, the New York Yankees, other important programming such as the rejuvenated Brooklyn Nets, the unwavering support of our board and, last but not least, an incredibly talented and dedicated group of employees. FOX wrote the book on regional sports networks, and we are excited to partner with FOX and take advantage of this opportunity to build upon our leadership position. We are particularly thrilled for our valued employees, who will continue with the YES Network and will benefit from the multitude of resources and opportunities that FOX brings to the table. We look forward to having FOX join our winning team.”

After two seasons on air, Starz has decided to cancel its drama series Boss starring Kelsey Grammer and produced by Lionsgate TV.  The network had originally committed to two seasons of the drama about a corrupt Chicago mayor.  The network said in response to their decision: “After much deliberation, we have made the difficult decision to not proceed with ‘Boss.’ We remain proud of this award-winning show, its exceptional cast and writers, and are grateful to Kelsey Grammer, Farhad Safinia and our partners at Lionsgate TV.”

Hallmark Channel reports the premiere of its original movie Matchmaker Santa last Saturday delivered more than 4.8 million unduplicated viewers and has become the network’s highest-rated original movie and the highest-rated telecast of the year among HH, W25-54 and A25-54 as well as total viewers.  Last Sunday’s debut of Hallmark Channel original, It’s Christmas Carol! attracted close to 4.0 million unduplicated viewers and ranks as the third highest-rated original movie of the year among households. 

In time for the Thanksgiving holiday, Destination America, the television network that celebrates the people, places and stories of our country, released a study conducted by Nielsenthat focuses on the behaviors of people during this week’s holiday.  Here are a few nuggets from the study:

• 23% of people surveyed said they would like to share Thanksgiving dinner with Big Bird and another 23% selected Tim Tebow. 
• Approximately one-third of A25-54 (35%) say the Thanksgiving holiday is stress-free for them while 29% claim the most stressful part of the day is the food preparation.  More men 25-54 than women said the holiday was stress free for them (40% M vs. 30% W). 
• Men 25-54 are more likely than women to look forward to Thanksgiving Day football games (64% M vs. 31% W) though more women look forward to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (43% W vs. 20% M). 
• Men and women can agree on one thing about Thanksgiving: family comes first. When asked about their “ideal” Thanksgiving, most Americans say it is “having all of your loved ones under one roof.”
• When it comes to food, the side dish stuffing is the top choice as to which Thanksgiving recipe is handed down from generation to generation.  More than half of A25-54 (56%) say their stuffing recipe was handed down from previous generations.
• Pumpkin pie was selected by 44% of Americans as their favorite holiday pie with 21% choosing apple, 13% selecting pecan pie and 12% liking sweet potato pie. 
• When it comes to taking advantage of Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals, more than one-third of Americans (36%) say they do not holiday shop on either day.

Programming Note: Premium network EPIX kicks off the New Year with the world television premiere of the 2012 film, The Hunger Games.  The film earned $686 million worldwide since its premiere last March and it currently ranks as the 3rd largest US film of the year.  EPIX will air The Hunger Games January 1 at 12 noon and 8p as well as on January 4 at 8p during an EPIX free preview weekend for all subscribers of affiliated partners. 

Correction: RLTV’s new one-hour personal finance series Money Matters with Jean Chatzky premiered November 20 at 8p and continues in the 8p Tuesday slot for subsequent episodes.

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) has licensed 50 interviews conducted by Johnny Carson (aka the King of Late Night TV) from the Carson Entertainment Group archives.  The interviews include those Carson did with some of the biggest names in Hollywood over his 30-year late night hosting career.  Highlights include interviews with 20+ Academy Award winners such as Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, Gregory Peck, James Stewart and more, memorable funny conversations with Mel Brooks, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin and Robin Williams, plus an interview with the then 7-year old Drew Barrymore who is currently co-host of TCM’s The Essentials among other classic segments.  TCM will air the interviews under the banner Carson on TCM beginning next summer.  Acting as curate for the interviews is filmmaker Peter Jones of Peter Jones Productions.

NBCUniversal and Suddenlink Communications made an affiliation agreement to offer NBCU’s complete portfolio of broadcast and cable content to Suddenlink TV customers.  The deal includes expansive rights to carry the 2014 Winter Olympics in addition to on-demand content from NBCU’s cable and broadcast networks as well as access to live channels across multiple platforms.  Furthermore, the deal includes retransmission consent for NBC and Telemundo owned stations and continued carriage of all of NBCU’s cable networks.

Even though the fourth season of Downton Abbey has not yet been commissioned, creator Julian Fellowes said yesterday he is confident that a fourth season will happen, cites THR.  Downton Abbey airs on commercial network ITV1 in the UK and season three is set to premiere here in the US via PBS January 6.  Season three recently concluded in the UK and ITV1 said it was the series’ best season-to-date with audience performance.  Fellowes further said with the various forms of digital and delayed viewing tallied, Downton Abbey attracted just shy of 15 million viewers in the UK for its third season.

FOX is developing a marijuana-themed comedy titled The Happy Tree from Entourage trio Mark Wahlberg, Steve Levinson and Rob Weiss.  The half-hour project will center on a young, brash corporate attorney who quits his day job following a nervous breakdown and seeks a life of peace and serenity on Venice Beach only to become the unlikely voice for the movement to legalize marijuana.  Weiss will pen the project along with co-producers Jay Leggett and Blake Leibel.  Lawrence Longo is also involved as a co-exec producer.  20th Century Fox Television will produce.

Former House star Hugh Laurie is involved in negotiations for his next role, a starring turn in NBC’s action-adventure drama Crossbones.  Laurie would play legendary pirate Blackbeard in the 10-episode drama based on Colin Woodward’s book The Republic of Pirates.  Neil Cross is writing the scripts and will executive produce with husband and wife team Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald along with Ted Gold.  The drama is produced by Parkes/MacDonald Productions, Georgeville Television, Reliance Entertainment/Motion Picture Capital and Universal Television.

Chad Coleman (The Wire) has been cast in AMC’s The Walking Dead playing the character Tyreese.  Coleman’s character may make his debut during The Walking Dead’s December 2 midseason finale.
