Longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon died after a car accident in New York City on February 11, a passenger in a taxi that was rear-ended by another vehicle. He was 73. During his 47 years with CBS, Simon won over 40 major awards, including 27 Emmys and 4 Peabodys.
“It’s a terrible loss for all of us at CBS News,” 60 Minutes executive producer Jeff Fager said in a statement. “It is such a tragedy made worse because we lost him in a car accident, a man who has escaped more difficult situations than almost any journalist in modern times. Bob was a reporter’s reporter. He was driven by a natural curiosity that took him all over the world covering every kind of story imaginable.”
IN THE NEWS
Al-Jazeera journalists Mohamed Fahy and Baher Mohomed have been released from prison in Cairo as they await a new hearing on charges of aiding terrorist actions. Peter Greste, arrested with them in December 2013, was released and deported on February 1. “Bail is a small step in the right direction, and allows Baher and Mohamed to spend time with their families after 411 days apart,” said Al-Zazeera. “The focus though is still on the court reaching the correct verdict at the next hearing by dismissing this absurd case and releasing both these fine journalists unconditionally.”
CBS has moved development for first-run syndication into its daytime programming operation. Angelica McDaniel, head of daytime, adds development for all first-run programming for CBS Television Distribution to her purview, including talk, court, newsmagazine and game shows. “This move will combine creative resources and increase synergies with the most successful daytime programming operation in television,” said Armando Nunez, president and CEO of CBS Global Distribution Group.“It is a structure that works creatively and financially for the Company, and most importantly, it will effectively serve our owned stations, and all of our broadcast clients across the country.”CTD’s current president of creative affairs Hilary Estey McLoughlin will segue into a production deal with CBS Television Distribution.
AMC Networks is also doing some restructuring, merging the ad sales departments of AMC and Sundance TV. The new department will report to SVP of ad sales Marc Krok; former SVP of ad sales for Sundance TV Todd Schwartzman takes that title to BBC America. “This realignment allows us to better utilize the top tier talent we have across our sales organization while creating efficiencies for our advertising partners,” said Arlene Manos, president, national ad sales at AMC Networks.
Fusion, a joint venture between Univision Communications and Disney/ABC Televsion, is launching a one-hour edition of ABC News’ Nightline. The weekly show will feature stories from the ABC late nighter that will resonate with a Millennial audience, as well as fresh Fusion content. Show premieres Wednesday, February 18 at 8p, hosted by ABC News’ Gio Benitez and Fusion’s Kimberly Brooks.
Rosie O’Donnell said her goodbyes on ABC’s The View Thursday, with special words for “amazing” Barbara Walters. “I want to thank her for making this show and letting me be on it – twice,” said O’Donnell, exiting after six months in the co-host’s seat to deal with what she described as stress in her personal life. O’Donnell’s first tenure ended in 2007.
Turner’s live coverage of NBA All-Star 2015 in New York includes content for the kids, who will be able to send questions, via video, to their favorite NBA stars. Some of the Q&As will be featured within Cartoon Network’s on-air integrations throughout NBA All-Star Weekend leading up to Sunday’s game, February 15 at 8p on TNT and TBS.
USA is teaming with live game and entertainment company Escape the Room to promote upcoming event series Dig. A show-themed edition of Escape the Room in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and the Universal theme parks in Hollywood and Orlando will challenge game enthusiasts with solving riddles, cracking codes and analyzing artifacts. Series stars including Anne Heche (Save Me) and Jason Isaacs (Awake) will be on hand to kick off activation, beginning with the NYC launch on February 26. Dig premieres Thursday, March 5 at 10p.
A recent Harris Poll surveyed viewers about their favorite shows, and while most were in line with Nielsen ratings (NCIS, The Big Bang Theory), HBO’s Game of Thrones – available in only one third of the country – was number five. Should that have come as a surprise? “I don’t think Game of Thrones’ performance necessarily surprised anyone due to its strong fan engagement, typically characterized by the volume and pitch of discussion that ignites when the show has new episodes in circulation,” Larry Shannon-Missal, Harris Poll managing editor, tells Cynopsis. “We were interested in seeing whether the shows drawing the most fan viewership are in line with or diverging from those driving the most fan passion, and based on the results I think that ultimately the answer is ‘yes’ – to both.”
Regional news net necn, owned by NBCUniversal, unveiled its new studio to viewers, part of a revitalization that has included boosting live coverage, a new news management team, upgraded technology and new graphics.

BRANDS & ADVERTISING
Arby’s, longtime target of Jon Stewart, put itself in the line of fire – and set itself up for free publicity, of the “there’s no such thing as bad” variety – after the Daily Show host announced on Tuesday he was leaving. The food chain tweeted, “feel free to reach out to us at careers@arbys.com,” to which Stewart replied, “Would I have to handle, serve, touch, eat or even look at what you so generously describe as food?…We shall always be enemies!”
Competing brands Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo, P&G and Unilever and Allstate and State Farm are teaming for a campaign to promote diversity and inclusion. They join the Ad Council and non-profit organizations for public service effort “Love Has No Labels,” encouraging people to examine unconscious biases.
