The debut of AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead killed it Sunday, delivering 10.1 million Live+SD viewers, the best cable series launch ever in total viewers and all key demos, including 6.3 million A18-49. “It is increasingly difficult to evaluate a show’s success on night one,” said Charlie Collier, president of AMC and SundanceTV. “However, we are releasing these live/same day ratings because Fear the Walking Dead delivered record-breaking numbers that are all the more special in this era of time-shifted viewing and audience fragmentation.” Fear’s lead-in, a Talking Dead preview of season six of The Walking Dead, drew 4.2 million viewers, 2.5 million A18-49.

IN THE NEWS

In addition to George Clooney and Jeb Bush, guests for Stephen Colbert’s first week as host of The Late Show include Scarlett Johansson, Amy Schumer, Stephen King, Tesla Motors and Space X CEO Elon Musk and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick. Kendrick Lamar, Toby Keith and Troubled Waters will serve up music, starting Tuesday, September 8 on CBS.

Jeb Bush is pretty much assured a spot at CNN’s GOP debate, taking place Wednesday, September 16, but presidential hopeful Chris Christie is on the bubble. Taking a seat on NBC’s Tonight Show on Monday, August 31 should hike Christie’s profile. His last visit to Jimmy Fallon earned the New Jersey governor 9 million YouTube views, for their “Evolution of Dad Dancing” video.

Chief content officer Erin McPherson and SVP of marketing Jeremy Welt are out at Makers Studios, reports VideoInk. Both joined the company before its acquisition by Disney last year.

Both kids 2-11 and teens 12-17 are watching more time-shifted television, according to a new report from Nielsen. But while VOD may be taking a slice from traditional TV time for teens, the tots’ live TV watching has remained steady – they’re just watching more of both. Between 2011-2013, live TV watching dropped from 22:14 hours/week to 20:14 for teens, and time-shifted viewing rose from 1:31 to 1:51. For the littles, it was a rise from 24:09 to 24:16 in live TV, and a boost from 1:57 to 2:21.

Bindi Irwin, the 17-year-old daughter of the late Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter), was the first celebrity contestant revealed for season 21 of Dancing With the Stars. “This is completely different than anything I’ve ever done in my life,” said Irwin, who has been focused on wildlife conservation, on Monday’s Good Morning America. “I’m used to wrangling crocodiles.” The ABC competition series returns Monday, September 14 at 8p.

FXX is partnering with dineL.A. and seven restaurants to host “Sunday Funday Brunch” on August 30. The one-day event offers $25 specials celebrating the season two premiere of You’re the Worst on Wednesday, September 9 at 10:30p. Hungry for details? Go here.

Jamie Gangel, who left NBC News in 2013 after 30 years, has joined CNN as special correspondent. Gangel will see at least one familiar face at the news net – she worked with CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker at NBC’s Today. Gangel starts big next week, with an exclusive interview with former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz.

Secretive CMT is throwing two free “Instant Jam” concerts from a pair of “the genre’s hottest stars” in not-yet-revealed cities sometime in the next two weeks. Specials documenting the experience will air in late summer and early fall.

Comedian Kate Quigley explores erotic subcultures in just-launched Playboy TV docu-series Undercover, airing Saturdays at 10p. “My mind was blown about 200 times working on this show,” said Quigley.

Racing media personality Katie Osborne has been named the new host for automotive how-to show PowerNation, produced by RTM Productions. Osborne debuts on-air January 3.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

Investigation Discovery greenlit Las Vegas D.A. (wt), following the Sin City district attorney and his crime-chasing team. “TV viewers have seen the fictionalized version of crime procedurals in Las Vegas, but for the first time ever, cameras will roll on these real stories of the justice system,”said ID GM Kevin Bennett. MY Entertainment is producing.

NEW SERIES

Reelz delves into the tragic side of Hollywood in two new docu-series premiering Saturday, September 26. Fame Kills, telling the stories of rising stars who suffered deadly encounters, bows at 8p, followed by Behind the Screams, tracing actual events that inspired horror movies, at 9p.

Dating profile disasters get a makeover in TLC’s Love at First Swipe. What Not to Wear host Clinton Kelly and online dating guru Devyn Simone whip seemingly hopeless daters into shape in the Jane Street Entertainment reality show launching Friday (perfect!), October 2 at 9p.

RETURNING SERIES

Alejandro Lukini returns as host of Monday-Thursday Azteca America reality series La Isla, starting August 31 at 8p. Also on the way from Azteca: game show Escape Perfecto, featuring contestants grabbing as many prizes as possible in cages, launching October 12 at 7p, and Escandalos, a series dramatizing real-life scandals, coming this fall.

Think you know the mind of the millennial TV viewer? It’s even more complicated than you might suspect. As teen journalist Cece Jane tells us in the newest Cynsiders, young viewers aren’t exactly turning off TV, but they are tuning out. Learn more in the latest Cynsiders.

COMING UP

The first Latin American Music Awards will air live on Telemundo Thursday, October 8 at 9p. Like its American Music Awards cousin, the show’s honorees are fan-voted. Nominees will be announced September 2.

WGN America’s new “Prime Crime” line-up launches Monday, August 31 at 7p with six back-to-back episodes of Elementary, followed the next night by a three-pack of  Person of Interest. The procedurals join Blue Bloods in the new block, kicking off with a 100-episode, two-week event. WGN America acquired exclusive off-network rights to the new entries in 2014.

TV One’s News One Now focuses on the New Orleans school system in a one-hour special Friday, August 28 at 9a. The New Orleans Charter School Revolution: Ten Years After Katrina, reported and hosted by News One Now’s Roland S. Martin, will pre-empt the regular news program.

In a presidential candidate debate that will most certainly not include Donald Trump, CentroamericaTV, targeting the Central American community in the U.S., will air the first and second Guatemalan debates on Tuesday, August 25 and Thursday, September 3 at 9p. All six candidates for president will be invited; general election takes place Sunday, September 6.

CASTING

Katherine Heigl has joined rewritten, recast CBS drama pilot Doubt, from former Grey’s Anatomy exec producers Tony Phelan and Joan Rater. KaDee Strickland (Private Practice) originally had the role of a defense lawyer who gets involved with a client. Still onboard: Dule Hill, Dreama Walker, Elliott Gould, Kobi Libii and Laverne Cox.

Daniella Alonso (Revolution) landed a series regular role in TNT drama pilot Animal Kingdom, from John Wells Productions in association with Warner Horizon Television.
 

Jay Ellis (The Game) and Yvonne Orji (Basketball Wife) join Issa Rae in HBO pilot Insecure. Comedy was co-written by Rae and Larry Wilmore.

ADVERTISING AND BRANDS

People who tweeted about three or more episodes of a program could be a valuable tool for advertisers, suggests a new report from Nielsen Social, “The Making of Social TV: Loyal Fans and Big Moments Build Program-Related Buzz.” The program authors “were also found to have more followers and sent more Tweets about brands,” notes the study. “Identifying and cultivating relationships with loyal authors could be powerful for TV networks and advertisers as they each look to maximize earned media driven by TV content and advertising.”

Ad tech company BlackArrow has been acquired by media services firm Cross MediaWorks, which owns network Cadent. “The power of this relationship is our ability to provide a single point of contact for all TV advertising at scale,” said Nick Troiano, CEO of BlackArrow, who will now be CEO of Cross MediaWorks. BlackArrow enables advertising in over 40 million Time Warner Cable, Charter, Bright House Networks, Rogers Communications, Liberty Global and Virgin Media VOD households.

DISTRIBUTION

Rohrs Media Group has been appointed to distribute domestically all of Bellum Entertainment’s content, across platforms. What’s the forecast? “They have three strips this fall with the launch of Corrupt Crimes, which will perform very well,” John Rohrs, president of RMG, tells Cynopsis. “Because Bellum owns all of their content, the combination of the Bellum sales team and the Rohrs Media Group sales team means that we have expertise and access to content for all facets of distribution, syndication, cable and new media.”

GLOBAL GOINGS-ON

AMC Global and BT announced a variety of series and movies that will premiere on AMC from BT in conjunction with the channel’s UK launch on Friday, August 28. AMC will be the exclusive home of Fear the Walking Dead, with the first episode available free on the BT Showcase Channel, as well as premiering on AMC from BT on Monday, August 31 at 9p. Sky viewers will also have free access to the first episode via AMC from BT on channel 192. The AMC from BT channel will be available for free to all BT TV and BT Sport Pack subscribers. Rectify premieres exclusively on Tuesday, September 1 at 9p, and all seven seasons of Mad Man will debut Sunday, August 30 at 9p. A Breaking Bad premiere date will be announced shortly.

Left Bank Pictures has teamed with China International Television Corporation for a co-development deal for an English-language drama. The series, aimed at the Chinese as well as international markets, would go into production by 2016 and be distributed by Sony Pictures Television worldwide.

CBC’s Still Standing, a travel show focused on small towns in Canada, was renewed for a second season, to air in 2016.
