IN THE NEWS


Verizon FiOS
launched its Custom TV service Tuesday, offering customers channel packs from different genres, despite objections from ESPN and Fox Sports that the packages do not comply with their existing agreements. On an earnings call Tuesday, Verizon CFO Fran Shammo said, “We believe we are allowed to offer these packages under our existing contracts.” Custom TV packages include 35 base channels pus two genre packs for $54.99. “This package gives customers the flexibility to choose what they want and pay for just that,” said Tami Erwin, president of Verizon’s consumer and mass business group.

That Netfix Full House spin-off is on. John Stamos will produce Fuller House, as well as guest as Uncle Jesse. Series stars Candace Cameron-Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber; their Full House castmates from ABC’s 1987-1995 incarnation, Bob Saget, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin, are in discussions about making appearances. Series debuts in 2016.

Full House is coming back  what other TGIF show would you like to see revived? Let us know in the new Cynopsis poll.

Expect digital disruption to impact the Upfront market, says measurement guru Brad Adgate, SVP research at Horizon Media. “The emergence of digital media has already wreaked havoc with legacy media such as print and radio/audio,” Adgate tells Cynopsis. “It is now impacting television/video and ad dollars. Coming off a sluggish ad marketplace, television usage among young adults has dropped precipitously in 2014-15. In previous years, the networks increased CPM’s by building demand; as digital siphons off younger viewers that may not happen this time around.”

TV Land picked up original series Younger for a second season. “Younger is the first step in TV Land’s evolution,” said Keith Cox, EVP development and original programming. Comedy’s season finale airs Tuesday, June 9 at 10p.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT


HBO
ordered a comedy pilot from Whitney Cummings (Whitney), inspired by Maureen Dowd’s book, Are Men Necessary?. Cummings is also prepping for a 2016 HBO stand-up special.

Travel Channel and the New York Times are teaming to bring the paper’s travel column, 36 Hours, to TV. Itineraries of co-hosts Kristen Kish and Kyle Martino will be informed by NY Times editors and contributors. “We jumped at the chance to work with The New York Times on this series knowing viewers and travelers alike will benefit from these two brands coming together,” said Travel president Shannon O’Neill. “This show brings the popular column to life, and is designed to get at the soul of each city in a way that will inspire people to travel and experience the world.” Series is produced by Bungalow Media & Entertainment.

UPFRONTS UPDATE


MTV
was loud and proud at NYC’s Beacon Theatre Tuesday night, during a presentation hosted by Girl Code’s Carly Aquilino and Guy Code’s Charlamagne, featuring performances by Jessie J. and Brooklyn pop act Misterwives. The show opened with the premiere screening of the first seven minutes of Scream; actress Bella Thorne was on hand, along with Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf), Nev Schulman (Catfish: The TV Show), Katie Stevens (Faking It) and YouTube star Todrick Hall.

But really, it was all about the slate. “We’re exploding our development process across screens – getting faster, more daring, putting more projects into play and taking bigger swings than ever,” said Stephen Friedman, President of MTV.“We’ve exponentially expanded the ways we connect with our audience and deliver for our advertisers.”

Among the new series announced: late-night comedy talker Middle of the Night Show; reality show Todrick, starring Todrick Hall, Follow The Rules, a comedic look at rapper Ja Rule and his clan; live action/animated Greatest Party Story Ever and weekly talk show Girl Code Live. Broke A$$ Game Show, Are You the One? and Faking It all scored renewals. “This slate demonstrates the creative breadth of what MTV can do – epic scripted dramas, irreverent comedies, inventive format-driven series, fun topical talk shows, all with a distinct, youthful voice,” said Susanne Daniels, President of Programming for MTV.

COMING UP

Former The Voice coaches CeeLo Green, Gwen Stefani and Usher are returning to the singing competition on Monday, April 27, in a one-night reunion to advise the remaining contestants. Show airs on NBC at 8p.

ID’s In the Line of Fire tells first-hand stories of survival involving law enforcement officers.

For the special, premiering Sunday, May 17 at 9p, CBS News legal analyst and former trial attorney Rikki Klieman explores cases of split-second decisions that changed lives.

Junkyard Empire premieres with back-to-back episodes on Velocity tonight, starting at 9p. Docu-series focuses on a father-son team with very different ideas on how to run a fast-paced, lucrative junkyard.

Smithsonian Channel’s The Spy in the Hanoi Hilton uncovers the true stories of POWs who created a high-level espionage operation. Special marks the 40th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, Monday, April 27 at 8p.

BRANDS AND ADVERTISING


Food
, HGTV, ABC Family, Animal Planet, Nick at Nite and Nickelodeon topped The 2015 Beta Brand Research Brand Identity Study list of basic cable networks with viewers more likely to buy products advertised, while Cooking, DIY, INSP, Nick Jr., American Heroes Channel and Nat Geo WILD led the list of digital basic nets. “Family and children’s networks ranked high in the charts relating to being more likely to buy advertised products,”Andrew Klein, President, cable TV division, tells Cynopsis. “It is our belief that networks with a clear and positive brand image offer a more desirable programming environment in which to advertise.”

Univision Communications has signed on with ad management software company WideOrbit to manage its advertising operations across all its properties, including using its WO Streaming Platform to manage and monetize its digital audio streams.

CASTING

What’s your most embarrassing real life blunder in the workplace?
 
·         “Having only my boxers to wear at work because I fell asleep and didn’t have clothes to change into. That happened to me at SNL.” David Spade, Actor, Joe Dirt 2, Crackle
·         “I once spent a hefty seven figure number of production money… twice – due to a misunderstanding. Thank goodness no one ever found out. Sorry, BBC.” Ian Stewart, President, Done + Dusted

·         “It was the end of the in-house show for the Final Four; I am so used to being on TV, where we will say, ‘Stay with us’ or ‘See you after the break.’ But there we were and I didn’t know how to end the show, so I just said, ‘Thank you?’ It was a real Ron Burgundy moment.” Dana Jacobson, Sports Anchor, CBS Sports
·         “When I was a sales manager for a CBS O & O, I once sent a sponsorship proposal to the US Postal Service via Federal Express…. luckily, they still bought the package.” Philip Salas, Asst Teaching Professor, Dept of Cinema & Television, Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design, Drexel University
