IN THE NEWS
NBCUniversal is acquiring DreamWorks Animation in a $3.8 billion transaction expected to close by the end of 2016. The studio will become part of the Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (Universal Pictures, Fandango and NBCUniversal Brand Development). “DreamWorks Animation is a great addition to NBCUniversal,” said Steve Burke, CEO of NBCUniversal. “Jeffrey Katzenberg and the DreamWorks organization have created a dynamic film brand and a deep library of intellectual property. DreamWorks will help us grow our film, television, theme parks and consumer products businesses for years to come.” Katzenberg won’t have day-to-day control of the animation unit he built, but he will become Chairman of DreamWorks New Media, to be comprised of the company’s ownership interests in Awesomeness TV and NOVA. Katzenberg, who called NBCUni “the perfect home for our company,” will also serve as a consultant to the Comcast company.
Nat Geo is going straight to series with its first-ever scripted series, global anthology Genius from Fox 21 Television Studios (The People V. O.J. Simpson), Imagine Television (Empire), OddLot Entertainment and EUE/Sokolow. Ron Howard will direct the first episode of the season, focused on Albert Einstein. Smart move? “I cannot think or a more pitch-perfect project for the National Geographic brand than Genius as our first scripted series,” National Geographic Channel EVP and head of global scripted development and production Carolyn Bernstein tells Cynopsis. “We will tell the surprising, provocative, and powerful stories of the biggest innovators of our time, exploring their lives, their curiosities, their trials and tribulations, and everything in between that made them geniuses.”
Alec Baldwin will host a 10-episode primetime edition of Match Game. The FremantleMedia North America reboot is part of a “Sunday Fun & Games Night” block kicking off on ABC June 26, along with Steve Harvey-hosted Celebrity Family Feud and The $100,000 Pyramid with Michael Strahan. “I am beyond grateful to ABC and FremantleMedia for the chance to host a summer series of the legendary Match Game,” said Baldwin, who added he and his wife are donating the fee to arts-related charities.
Telemundo and NBC Universo are offering over 200 hours of coverage for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, the most extensive ever for Spanish-language TV. “Telemundo is going to redefine Spanish-language Olympic event coverage in the United States with our Río presentation,” said Eli Velazquez, EVP for sports at NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises 100 days before the opening ceremony. “Not only will we see more competitions than ever before, but we’ll also experience the moving stories of the Hispanic athletes on their quest for Olympic glory.” Nets’ games begin with women’s soccer on Wednesday, August 3.
NBC docu-style dating show First Dates, based on the UK hit, has a narrator: 50 First Dates star Drew Barrymore. Hour-long series will be produced by Shed Media; Ellen DeGeneres is among the exec producers.
America Ferrara, Rosie Perez, Angie Martinez, Remy Ma and “Fat Joe” are among the celebs enlisted to support Fuse and Vote Latino’s “Crash the Parties” initiative with PSAs encouraging American Latino millennials to vote. As part of the campaign, two Latino winners will have chance to serve as Fuse TV reporters at the national conventions, in segments that will air on the network.

Sam Pollard and James Abadi (Release the Hounds) are teaming with FremantleMedia for the launch of UK indie Dr Pluto. “All we are interested in is content that will stimulate people,” said Pollard. “James and I delineate ourselves by an ideology rather than by a genre: that ideology is original, subversive, clever and playful.” FremantleMedia holds a 25 percent stake in the company, aiming to develop concepts across platforms.

The partnership brings targeted advertising at scale in a way “that – until now – was not available in the premium television environment,” said Kern Schireson, EVP data strategy & consumer intelligence, Viacom. “This is the first time dynamic, 1:1 advertising will be possible as part of a larger linear TV buy.”
