CYNOPSISDIGITAL
06.24.15 Good morning. It’s Wednesday June 24, 2015, and this is your first early morning digital briefing.
On the heels of Showtime‘s new a la carte service offering, the network will add its content to Hulu, the first deal of its kind for a premium cable channel. Nine million paying Hulu subscribers will have the option to add the service starting July 11 before the season premieres of Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex. The major difference between Showtime’s stand-alone service and its partnership with Hulu is price: the Hulu-subscriber version will cost $8.99; it’s $10.99 for the app by itself.
Verizon officially sealed the deal to buy AOL at $50/share for a total of $4.44 billion. The next step will be the summer arrival of a mobile-first video service, AOL CEO Tim Armstrong and Verizon EVP Marni Walden detailed in a call yesterday. The new offering will include free and premium versions of live content from the NFL and other sports as well as emerging content from such sources AwesomenessTV. Armstrong will continue to run AOL operations; President of Verizon Digital Media Services Bob Toohey will report to Armstrong; Armstrong will report to Walden.
Discovery U.S. Hispanic and Latino media company mitú signed a multiplatform development agreement to produce digital and TV series with mitú’s social influencers. Programming will premiere on Discovery en Español and Discovery Familia, with complementary content across mitú’s digital properties. The deal builds on the two series mitú produced for Discovery Familia in 2014, Gurús de Belleza and Casa Linda.
SundanceTV launched Shorts on Sundance.TV, a new online destination within the network’s website featuring drama and comedy short films from the past decade. The first batch of films is a selection of "Festival Shorts" curated by Michael Plante, Senior Programmer, Short Film, at the Sundance Film Festival, and featuring projects from Jill Soloway (Transparent) and Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners). SundanceTV will be releasing five more Festival Shorts next month.
AwesomenessTV is entering into the silver screen business. The multi-channel network launched a new film division with Chapter One Films founder Matt Kaplan as lead. Kaplan and ATV founder Brian Robbins plan to release between 12 and 15 films for theatrical and digital distribution. "We’re excited to take on material that traditional studios just aren’t making, and it’s helping us attract top-notch directors and talent," Kaplan said. ATV digitally released the movie Expelled with Vine star Cameron Dallas last year; acquired Shovel Buddies with Bella Thorne and Kian Lawley; and secured a two-year deal with YouTube to release several movies.
