Music television executives are reacting to the unexpected death of music icon Prince yesterday at age 57. The star of the film Purple Rain and provider of one of the best Super Bowl halftime shows, in 2007, appeared on Saturday Night Live in 2014. “It’s right up there with MJ passing. Complete icon,” Jermaine Hall, VP and managing editor, digital, at BET, told Cynopsis. “He was such a self-contained artist who pushed the boundaries, and has influenced so many artists after him.”
MTV changed its logo to purple all day yesterday, and MTV and MTV2 aired a dedicated block of the artist’s most influential music videos. “MTV is heartbroken and in utter disbelief at the news that the world has lost Prince Rogers Nelson so suddenly and so before his time,” the network said in a statement. “Prince was a once-in-a-lifetime artist who transcended every medium and genre he touched and created music with a passion and individuality that inspired multiple generations.” Beginning yesterday and planned through the weekend VH1 is airing Purple Rain numerous times and a block of Prince’s most memorable music videos.

Producer and new dad Seth Meyers was on hand, interrupting lunch table talk about babies to express appreciation for IFC’s support.
Two recently greenlit series were in the spotlight, thanks in part to appearances by Brockmire’s Hank Azaria and John C. McGinley (Scrubs), star of Stan Against Evil, at the event.

So how are Upfront meetings going so far? “We’ve had a great response from advertisers,” net president and GM Jen Caserta told Cynopsis. “We’ve become a destination for talent, and advertisers understand what we have to offer they get the benefit of partnering with shows that are more distinctive.”
At its Upfront presentation last night at NY’s Skylight at Moynihan Station, MTV unveiled a programming slate of 14 new series and specials, including the fall debut of LA-based Wonderland, the network’s first weekly live music performance series in nearly 20 years. Among those the network is partnering with on new content are Mark Burnett, Zac Efron, Drew Barrymore, Pitbull, John Legend, Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia.
