Good morning. It’s Wednesday, September 22, 2004, and this is your first early morning briefing.
According to Fast Affiliate ratings from Nielsen Media Research, ABC won the night on Monday night among A18-49 with an overall 5.9/16 from 8-11pm. CBS’ premiere Monday drew a 5.6/15 overall in the demo ranking #2, and UPN’s premiere evening avg’d a 1.4/4 in the adult demo, ranking #6. However, for UPN, among the female demos, the average for the night was a 2.3/6 W18-49 and a 2.5/7 W18-34. NBC led the night at 8pm with Fear Factor’s 4.0/12, while CBS and ABC tied with a 3.3/10. CBS’ Still Standing at 8p avg’d a 3.1/10, while the series premiere of Listen Up picked up at 830p with a 3.5/10. The Benefactor on its second outing on ABC averaged a 3.3/10, picking up considerably from last week’s 2.3/7. 7th Heaven on the WB earned solid marks from women and teens – 3.6/10 W18-49, 3.8/15 Teens 12-17, and female teens in particular with a 6.1/24. At 9pm the first hour of the football game averaged a 7.1/18 A18-49 for ABC, while CBS’s season premieres of Raymond (5.9/15) and 2-1/2 Men (5.5/131) ranked #2 for the hour.

Intermedia Advertising Group’s Top Ten Most Effective New Ads for new campaigns airing the weeks of Aug 30-September 12, 2004. The list is ranked by viewer’s ability to recall the new ads and their associated products and brands. The Recall Score is the percentage of TV viewers who within 24 hours are able to remember the brand of the ad they saw during normal TV viewing. The scores are then indexed against the mean score for all ads during the time period to create the Recall Index; 100 is Average. For example, with a Recall Index of 203, the top-ranked Victoria’s Secret spot was recalled twice the average new ad during the period.

VH1’s Surreal Life was the first to bring us the rocky “relationship” between Public Enemy’s Flavor Flav and the Rocky IV star Brigitte Nielsen (and Sylvester Stallone’s ex) as she slapped the rapper (and was slapped right back). VH1 saw an opportunity as the two continued to flirt with each other. The result is an unnamed spinoff reality series filming them as they travel cross-country and end up in Las Vegas, where (lo and behold) Brigitte’s real life fiancee Mattia Disse will also compete for her affections. The show is reportedly scheduled to begin taping on October 4
Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit Films (FUF) inked an exclusive production agreement with Paramount Home Entertainment to produce urban movies intended for the DVD market with multimillion-dollar production budgets. FUF co-owner Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere are set to produce romantic and urban comedies, dramas and action movies. Latifah will appear in the Paramount DVDs. Under the agreement, any of the DVD-intended Paramount pictures cannot exceed a $5 million production budgets for each one. Important to note…This agreement is only for DVD premiere movie projects.

Cable net IFC has signed a two year output deal with Fox Searchlight, giving IFC the first network window for Searchlight films including Napoleon Dynamite, Bend It Like Beckham, I Heart Huckabees and Antwone Fisher, according to Variety.
What would you do? Today’s syndicated episode of The Dr. Phil Show (King World distributes, produced by Paramount Domestic Television) includes an interview with Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond) and reportedly makes promotional references to Dr. Phil’s primetime two hour special tonight on CBS, which also includes Heaton, Dr. Phil’s Primetime Special: Family First. According to today’s Variety, NBC affiliates KNBC, WMAQ and WRC, who all carry Dr. Phil in the daytime, will make some edits in today’s show, wiping out the promotions for the primetime special. The affiliates are taking exception to promoting a show on a competing network, and a special that in its second hour is running head to head opposite NBC’s season premiere of Law & Order. Were your station in a similar situation with a syndicated show promoting a primetime special on the competition, what would you do? Let me know,
, and check back here tomorrow for a summary of your responses.
