IN THE NEWS

CNN CEO Mark Thompson outlined a new vision for the company that includes a “true multimedia strategy.” In a memo to employees, Thompson wrote, “Like so many other news players with a broadcast heritage, CNN’s linear services and even its website can sometimes have an old-fashioned and unadventurous feel as if the world has changed and they haven’t.” Executive changes to bring this new vision to life include the combining of the leadership of international, domestic and digital news operations, with Virginia Moseley appointed as Executive Editor of CNN and Mike McCarthy as Managing Editor. Alex MacCallum, who left as interim head of digital operations in 2022, returns as EVP of Digital Products and Services. “As we enter this new chapter in CNN’s storied history, I’d encourage you to take a leaf out of Ted Turner’s book,” wrote Thompson. “Let’s build with confidence. Let’s fulfill our mission. Let’s learn some new tricks. Let’s look after each other. Let’s have some fun.”

ABC and CNN have canceled the Republican primary debates that had been scheduled for today and Sunday, respectively, after Nikki Haley said she would not participate if Donald Trump was a no-show. “Our intent was to host a debate coming out of the Iowa caucuses, but we always knew that would be contingent on the candidates and the outcome of the race,” said an ABC News spokesperson. CNN said it will “continue to pursue other opportunities as the campaign season progresses through 2024, including candidate Town Halls this week.”

Household TV ad impressions rose 1.8% to 8.5 trillion in 2023, but spending on national linear TV slipped 4.7%, to $43.71 billion, according to iSpot’s “2023 in Review: TV Transparency Report.” With viewership down, commercial load was up – to the tune of +4.71% for NBC, 4.45% for Fox, 1.74% for CBS and 1.09% for ABC. The NFL scored the largest share of impressions, followed by college football, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” the NBA, “Good Morning America,” “NCIS,” college basketball, “Today” and “SportsCenter.” The most-seen brand was Progressive, with 0.92% of TV ad impressions.

Sinclair has reached a deal to renew all of its 41 Fox affiliations, including 17 early renewals. “Premiere sports, such as the NFL, including the Super Bowl in February of 2025, ‘Baseball Night in America,’ the World Series and college football and basketball, have never been more important, and we are pleased to be able to continue to pair Fox’s premiere sports and entertainment programming, which remain exclusive to broadcast, with our best-in-class local news and syndicated programming for years to come,” said Will Bell, Sinclair’s SVP, Head of Distribution and Network Relations.

Spectrum Reach will offer 250 underserved small business owners nationwide access to its advertising and marketing resources through its 2024 “Pay It Forward” initiative. Local entrepreneurs selected to participate will receive a live and streaming TV campaign worth up to $15,000 along with a custom produced 30-second commercial, marketing consultation services, mentoring and educational resources, and networking opportunities.

RATINGS

ESPN’s Super Wild Card Monday night finale between the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers generated more than 28.6 million viewers across ESPN, ABC, ESPN2, ESPN+ and NFL+, making it ESPN’s second most-watched NFL playoff game in history.
