A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM NICKELODEON

Nickelodeon’s Ecosystem Keeps Getting Bigger.

Nickelodeon has a powerful, 10-screen ecosystem that connects brands to our audience as well as Consumer Products, Movie Partnerships, Apps, Recreation, Social Media and Live Events.

In a rule change that might not amuse Orange Is the New Black, which has reaped awards show gold as a comedy, the Television Academy decreed that only 30-minute shows will be considered comedies come Emmy time. It will take a two-thirds vote from a nine-member panel for a show to be reassigned. On the miniseries front, the category is now called limited series, with distinctions including no recurring stories or characters that would disallow shows like Luther and Sherlock.

IN THE NEWS

More Emmy moves: the number of nominees in drama and comedy series categories has increased from six to seven, the variety category has been split into variety talk and variety sketch and the guest actor categories exclude performers who appear in more than 50 percent of a program’s episodes. “As our growing membership creates and produces more content for ever-changing platforms, today’s changes in the rules and procedures are vital,” said academy chairman Bruce Rosenblum. “We’re sure that in coming years we will continue to evolve our rules as our dynamic industry grows.”

Eileen O’Neill, promoted to global group president of Discovery Studios in August, is leaving Discovery Communications on May 1, the date of her 25th anniversary at the company. “I will miss you guys,” said O’Neill, on a break before starting what was to be her new position, in a memo to staff Friday. “Through incredible successes, and not a few nail-biting challenges, we always delivered as a team.”

It’s all in the family for BBC America’s Orphan Black. The drama’s season three premiere will be simulcast across all AMC networks - AMC, BBC America, IFC, SundanceTV and WE tv – on Saturday, April 18 at 10p. “Creating a premiere television event for Orphan Black is a perfect opportunity to use our programming assets to help extend the reach of this quality series,” said Ed Carroll, COO of AMC Networks, which took over operational control of BBC America in October in a long-term equity joint venture.

Mary Murphy, replaced on upcoming season 12 of Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance by Paula Abdul, hasn’t put away her dance (judging) shoes. Murphy, along with former U.S. Latin Dance champ Tony Meredith, will offer commentary on America’s Ballroom Challenge, back in PBS after a six-year hiatus. Three one-hour eps of the competition launch Friday, April 24 at 9p.

ID special Hate in America premieres tonight at 8p, with Al Jazeera America anchor Tony Harris reporting on acts of violence fueled by intolerance and fear. “When we started the research for Hate in America, we had no idea how relevant the topic of hatred would be at this moment today,” Henry Schleiff, Discovery Networks group president, tells Cynopsis. “Indeed, in light of recent hate crimes here and abroad, we hope that this documentary and the work of our partners at the Southern Poverty Law Center, led by Morris Dees, uplifts viewers as much as it informs them through stories of progress, people fighting back, and fighting for our future.”

The war of words continues in the wake of a Mother Jones article, “Bill O’Reilly Has His Own Brian Williams Problem,” by David Corn. Fox News’ O’Reilly, whose reports of his experiences as a CBS News correspondent during the Falklands War were called into question, called Corn an “irresponsible guttersnipe, far left zealot” who smeared him for ideological reasons. Former CBS News correspondent Eric Jon Engberg, who had been on assignment with O’Reilly back in 1982, weighed in on Facebook Saturday with accounts  of what he deemed O’Reilly’s “willingness to twist the truth in a way that seeks to invent a battlefield that did not exist.” O’Reilly fired back on Sunday’s MediaBuzz, promising to address the accusations against him this week, adding, “Anyone who thinks my reporting in Argentina was erroneous, they can come on my show.”

Count on Bill O’Reilly to go to the mat when it comes to defending his journalistic integrity. But do you believe he’s guilty of misremembering? Let us know in the new Cynopsis poll.

Network rivals HBO and Showtime are partnering for a pay-per-view boxing match between boxing rivals Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. “Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather have been the two most prominent fighters in the sport of boxing for the past decade, and fight fans around the world have been clamoring for them to face each other,” said HBO Sports president Ken Hershman. “May 2nd will be a signature moment for the sport of boxing.” Mayweather has a contract with Showtime, while Pacquiao’s pact is with HBO.

Actor Ben Woolf (American Horror Story: Freak Show) was admitted to the hospital in critical condition Thursday night. Woolf had been hit in the head by the side mirror of a passing car on Hollywood Boulevard.

Fusion and ESPN Radio are plotting a live simulcast of ESPN Radio’s The Dan Le Batard Show, to launch on the net this spring. The three-hour broadcast will air weekdays at 4p with rotating guest co-hosts.

KID STUFF

Missing from Meryl Streep’s mantle: a Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Award. But this could be her year – the three-time Oscar winner landed a nod with a slew of other first-timers, including Sam Smith and Angelina Jolie. Former boy bander Nick Jonas hosts the slimefest Saturday, March 28 at 8p. Presenting sponsors include Amazon Fire HD Kids Edition, General Mills Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Gogurt & Fruit Snacks, Hasbro DohVinci,and Walmart.

Trophies for the 3rd International Emmy Kids Awards went to Spain’s Polseres Vermelles (The Red Band Society); Sweden’s Wild Kids; UK’s Mike The Knight; Chile’s Con Que Suenas? (What’s Your Dream), France’s Jungle Bunch to the Rescue and the Netherlands’ Alles Mag (Anything Goes). Presenting partners for the show included Shaw Rocket Fund, Hasbro Studios, SVT/DRTV, TV Kids, WDR mediagroup, Junior@MipTV and Ernst & Young.

UPFRONT PREVIEW

Cynopsis got an exclusive sneak peek at 20th Television’s Upfront presentation from Ad Sales EVP Michael Teicher, who plans to have 20th assume a leadership position in the industry this year to help clients “navigate the new media mess” of c3, c7 and the dreaded c30 measurements that may be coming down the pike. Twentieth’s point of differentiation? “Live,” says Teicher, who’s responsible for ad sales for both 20th Century Fox Television and Debmar-Mercury programming (Wendy Williams, Family Feud). “Why should a client pay full price for an ad that was skipped or viewed for two seconds?” he asks. “We are unaffected by technology because our shows are viewed live. If you miss Modern Family on a Tuesday, you can watch it Wednesday. When you have a message where time is of the essence – i.e., a movie that’s opening or a sale – then live is critical to you.” Teicher is suggesting that clients consider “a small re-allocation” of their dollars. “If you have a $5 million buy in prime time, we want you to take 10 percent and apply it to our four highest-rated shows. You’ll increase your reach by 23 percent and your CPMs will go down because you’re more efficient.”

CASTING

Dave Foley (Newsradio) has been admitted to the cast of ABC comedy pilot Dr. Ken, opposite Ken Jeong, as the head of a hospital.

Scandal fan Lena Dunham (Girls) will guest on the ABC drama, reports TheWrap. Episode is slated for March.

Stephen Schneider (Broad City) and Jack Carpenter (The Good Wife) landed leads in NBC workplace comedy pilot Sharing, from Universal Television and Jimmy Fallon’s Eight Million Plus.

Laurie Holden (The Walking Dead) has ambled over to Chicago Fire planted spinoff Chicago Med, to be introduced in the NBC drama’s 19th ep.

An encore on Friday of its February 15 Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary special earned NBC a 1.5/5 rating among A18-49 and second place in the demo. CBS’s Blue Bloods matched that number for a season five high in young adults and 11.62 million total viewers, the most of the night. ABC grabbed the demo win with 2.2/7 for Shark Tank, to tie a season high.
