Cynopsis
Good Morning. It’s Tuesday, February 26, 2008, and this is your first early morning briefing. On Sunday night, viewers of WHNT in Huntsville, Alabama who were watching the first segment of 60 Minutes may have initially thought something funny was going on, but it turns out it truly was a technical glitch with the satellite receiver. The opening story was about former Democratic Governor of Alabama, Don Siegelman and his conviction on bribery charges, and the potential involvement of a former Bush administrative official. The segment lasted 13 minutes, and the station outage lasted 12. The station received permission from CBS to rerun the story in full during its 10p newscast, and again in its Monday 6p news. Tonight’s Premiere: ~ MORE GOOD STUFF ~
WE tv will introduce a new 12-part, one-hour series, Women Behind Bars on March 4 at 9p. During each episode, the original documentary series produced by Burrud Productions, will profile two different female murderers who are currently in prison. A new original series on Bio will reveal true-life accounts of people who endured life-threatening situations as I Survived … will premiere March 24 at 9p. In each of the eleven one-hour episodes, I Survived … chronicles two or three life-changing stories. The series is produced by NHNZ for the network. Independent distributor, Mighty Oak Entertainment renewed its ad sales deal with Sony Pictures Television for its nationally syndicated Whacked Out Sports comedy clip series. The renewal is effective through the 2008 season. USA Network’s season six finale of Monk last Friday (9p) had 6.9 million total viewers watching while the episode drew in 3 million A25-54 viewers. The Council for Research Excellence, an independent forum of media research experts founded by Nielsen, commissioned a year-long study by Ball State University’s Center for Media Design (CMD) to gauge how people consume traditional and emerging video platforms in and out of the home. The Video Consumer Mapping Study, which will be conducted jointly by CMD and the consultancy firm Sequent Partners, will track how television and video are consumed across multiple platforms to establish best practices in the area of video media measurement. Citing a lack of “sufficient client commitments,” The Nielsen Company and Arbitron Inc. have ended the development of “Project Apollo,” the proposed single-source national research service. The two companies have been working “Project Apollo” since early 2005 and it was based on Nielsen’s Homescan technology for measuring consumer purchase behavior and Arbitron’s Portable People Meter system that measures electronic media exposure.

CYNOPSIS DIGITAL – TODAY’S TOP STORY: ABC struck an “unprecedented arrangement” with its affiliates to expand ad-supported, fast-forward disabled VOD offerings to multiple cable, satellite and telco distributors. Each affiliate will get one local 30-second avail for each 30-minutes of programming, twice what they receive from streaming shows on their website. ABC has been testing the service in Cox’s Orange County system and is more than convinced viewers are happy to put up with ads in exchange for the ability to time shift their favorite shows. (Research conducted by Knowledge Networks/Statistical Research said 93% of viewers agreed to the trade off, with 20% saying they preferred ad supported VOD to a DVR.) The deal also removes previous repurposing restrictions, which should open the door to distributing ABC shows on additional platforms beyond current distribution partners such as iTunes and Xbox.
