IN THE NEWS

Showtime’s House of Lies will fold after five seasons. Series finale of the comedy starring Don Cheadle was shot in Havana, Cuba, to air Sunday, June 13 at 9p.

ABC is apparently assuming Jimmy Kimmel’s recently-announced intention to run for Vice President won’t pan out. The same day Kimmel told ABC’s Upfront audience, “18-49 isn’t our target demo – it’s the number of people who watched Wicked City last season,” the net extended the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host’s contract through fall 2019 (“I’m actually wondering at this moment if we’ve actually closed Jimmy’s deal,” joked ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey after Kimmel’s monologue). The late nighter is currently in its 14th season.

As expected, Billy Bush is leaving NBCUniversal’s syndicated Access Hollywood to join Today’s 9a hour. Today’s Natalie Morales is leaving her NBC morning show post to take over for Bush on Access, but will contribute to Today as West Coast anchor. Bush starts his new gig during the Olympics in August.

Time Inc. announced the upcoming launch of Instant, a mobile-first platform featuring content by and about digital celebrities. Time Inc.’s People, EW and HelloGiggles will be launch partners on programming and strategy initiatives. Instant will stand out from the pack in a couple of ways, Will Lee, digital editorial director for People and EW, tells Cynopsis. “There’s no ‘millennial-focused digital offering’ that truly covers the new famous – digital stars – the way we will, which is to say, the same way People and EW cover Hollywood,” says Lee. “Also, our content experience will be mobile-first and all-video, which is a major differentiator from many ‘millennial’ destinations. And Instant will be part of the People, EW, and HelloGiggles ecosystem, which none of the ‘millennial-focused digital offerings’ can claim – it will be a tremendous competitive advantage from an audience growth and talent access standpoint.”

Starz launched the Starz App on select Android TV devices, allowing subscribers to watch original series as well as movies and first-run films. The app is offered on Chromecast, Apple TV, iPhones and iPads, Google Nexus Player and Sony Android TV.

TV One announced the 2016 TV One Screenplay Competition finalists  N’Zuri Za Austin (Dallas, Texas), Cheronda Gunn & Traci Rooks (Houston, Texas), and Michelle McKissic (Arlington, Texas). The trio gets a trip to the American Black Film Festival in Miami (June 15-17) and the winner, announced June 18, takes home a $5000 cash prize and the chance to have their work produced into an TV movie. Last year’s winner, Keronda McKnight, debuts her original film at this year’s festival.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

AMC greenlit documentary series Heroes and Villains: The History of Comic Books (wt), slated for a 2017 premiere. Robert Kirkman and David Alpert (The Walking Dead) will exec produce through Skybound Entertainment. “At the end of the day I am a comic fan first and foremost,” said Kirkman. “I am a lover of the medium and the stories it enables people to tell.”

INSP ordered a 13-episode season two of Handcrafted America. Production begins this summer for an October premiere.

It’s a holiday in Pittsburgh: The Steel City officially declared May 18 “Outsiders Day,” celebrating the start of production of season two of the WGN America drama. Sophomore run launches in January.

COMING UP

TV One bio-pic Love Under New Management: The Miki Howard Story premieres Sunday, June 12 at 7p, part of the net’s “Black Music Month” celebration. The R&B singer will make a cameo appearance in the film, a spin-off of TV One series Unsung.

Who’s the greatest maker of them all? Winner makes a cool million on the season finale of America’s Greatest Makers, Tuesday, May 24 at 9p on TBS.

Top Chef Mexico gets a two-hour finale on Thursday, May 19 at 7p on NBC Universo (a new time for East Coast and Central viewers). Elimination challenge: create three dishes inspired by the elements: earth, wind and water.

Looking: The Movie, which will serve as a finale for the HBO series, will premiere Saturday July 23 at 10p. The comedy was canceled in March after two seasons.

AT THE UPFRONTS

Channing Dungey (called “a breath of fresh air” by Ben Sherwood, president, Disney|ABC Television Group), introduced advertisers to the net’s 2016-17 programming slate at Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall in NYC. New fall and midseason series include Conviction, centered on a woman who accepts a job from the New York DA to avoid jail time for cocaine possession; conspiracy thriller Designated Survivor; Notorious, inspired by the relationship of criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos and cable news producer Wendy Walker; Shondaland period drama Still Star-Crossed; time travel drama Time After Time; family comedies American Housewife and Speechless; Downward Dog, based on the web series about a struggling millennial, and Imaginary Mary, starring Jenna Elfman.

ABC expanded its Tuesday comedy block to two hours; moving Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to 10p will allow the drama to be edgier, said Dungey. Replacing Scandal on Thursdays in the fall, during Kerry Washington’s pregnancy, will be the aforementioned Notorious. Specials on tap include a new David Blaine magic show, and Ali: The Champion (wt), honoring the boxing legend.

“Our new shows reflect the inclusive and empowering storytelling that defines the ABC brand,” said Dungey. “We will continue to raise the bar for our audience, investing in great storytellers and reflecting the authentic faces and voices of the world around us.”

Looks like Netflix and Univision Communications are on the same team. The first season of Netflix original series Narcos will air on Univision; sister net UniMas will air Spanish-language Netflix original series Club de Cuervos. Both series will air on the networks leading up to the exclusive global debuts of their second seasons on the streaming service. The companies are also partnering to co-produce drama El Chapo, based on the life of the notorious drug lord. El Chapo will be available to Netflix members in the U.S. following its television airing on UniMas in 2017; in the rest of the world, the drama will premiere exclusively on Netflix. “Netflix knows that Hispanics are their growth consumers,” said Univision CMO Jessica Rodriguez at the company’s Upfront presentation.

On the ad front, Univision  made up of two broadcast networks, 11 cable networks, 126 TV and radio stations as well as digital destinations, offered advertisers an “expanded programmatic buying effort across both digital and linear platforms” in the categories of sports, comedy, music and drama.

Digital who? “I don’t care what those Silicon Valley guys say – there is no algorithm for heart-pumping, breath-holding premium content,” said NBCUniversal ad sales chief Linda Yaccarino at the company’s Upfront at Radio City Music Hall on Monday. Sizzle reel after sizzle reel of NBCUni shows made Yaccarino’s point that content is still king – and the company has a lot of content. “NBC, Telemundo, NBC Sports Network, Golf Channel, MSNBC, USA, Syfy, E! Entertainment, Bravo, Oxygen, Twinkle, Esquire Network, Sprout, TV One, The Surgery Channel, Chiller, Cloo, The Weather Channel, and Universal HD,” rattled off Late Night’s Seth Meyers, “and only two of those were made up." Clips were shown not by network, but fan base – a slate of sc-fi dramas included USA’s Falling Water, Syfy’s Krypton and NBC’s Emerald City.

Yaccarino noted viewers spend seven times as many hours watching TV as they do on Facebook, and 15 hours more than do watching YouTube. NBC expects lots of those eyeballs to rest on its 17 nights of Olympics in Rio this summer, and apparently advertisers agree  the company has sold over $1 billion in ads for the Games. NBCUni CEO Steve Burke also touted the five Thursday Night Football games on NBC’s sked.

Upfronts isn’t just about broadcast nets, of course. We share the pitches from Viacom, Hallmark, Discovery and more in the latest Cynsiders.

INTX INTEL

Monetization of digital content was a hot topic on opening day of INTX in Boston. “Facebook is without question the biggest [digital] video platform out there, and they don’t have monetization, which makes a company like us tentative,” said Kay Madati, BET Networks’ EVP and chief digital officer, said on a panel. “Maybe we’ll use it as marketing platform and not an editorial platform.”

To pilot or not to pilot? Network execs are taking different approaches these days. While IFC president/GM Jennifer Caserta said at INTX the network currently does “very few pilots,” Gary Levine, Showtime president of programming, said, “We are big believers in making a pilot. It is more expensive, but it’s a living, breathing organization from which you can learn a lot. When we make a pilot we tend to go to series, so it’s not a lack of commitment, it’s an important process for us.”

Let it Go: Sometimes programmers hit a home run, sometimes they strike out. TV One president Brad Siegel reminisced about passing on the 1999 TV movie Jesus while he was at TNT – the movie went on to become one of the top performers for CBS. Noting the network was coming off a series of movies based on Old Testament stories, Siegel said, “We had the greatest-selling book, we should not have allowed fatigue or a script that wasn’t there yet to get in the way. We were tired of doing these movies and we wanted to move on; it was a mistake… It’s a bad mistake not taking Jesus,” he quipped. “Luckily he’s forgiving.” Caserta had her own Catastrophe to share. “We wanted [Amazon’s] Catastrophe and we were sad to see it go. We had a relationship with Sharon Horgan and would’ve loved to have the show. But it happens, this is the business we are in. Sometimes you have to let it go.”

Binge-viewing is here to stay, but there’s plenty of magic to serialized shows. For The People vs. OJ Simpson, “We marketed it really well, there was a lot of pre-awareness of it,” said Eric Schrier, president of original development at FX Networks. “By spreading it over 10 weeks it really captured a large imagination and conversation that’s still going on.”

How does Vikki Neil, SVP/GM, online brands, Scripps Networks Interactive, rate Facebook Live? “I’ve seen some really interesting responses from our audience,” she said at INTX. Neil cited a recent dispatch from Travel Channel host Josh Gates from base camp at Mt. Everest as “a great use of Facebook Live to showcase our talent and brands to show people how to experience something going on in the world. There’s real promise there.”

ADVERTISING & BRANDS

TV ad spend is rising as digital spend slows, according to Standard Media Index’s latest data. National TV advertisers invested 6 percent more dollars in April than they did in the same month in 2015, even as TV viewership dipped, according to SMI. So far this broadcast year, TV has gained 6 percent compared to 2015 results, with some analysts suggesting that commitments for the Upfront could increase by 3-5 percent. Meanwhile, digital media revenues rose by 15 percent year-over-year in April, though the sector grew at a significantly slower rate than in previous months.  “SMI’s April data continues to show the reemergence of TV as the industry’s strongest and most effective medium. We have seen digital’s growth slow over the past few months and know from feedback from advertisers and agencies that television is still the best place to find high quality, guaranteed audiences at scale,” said James Fennessy, SMI’s CEO. “Timing couldn’t be better for the major networks as a strong scatter market again in April should ensure they book healthy increases in the upfronts over the coming weeks.”

At its “Datafront” yesterday, Viacom announced Vantage Intent, a tool using data from American Express transactions to target audiences across Viacom networks. “At a time when marketers are searching to target viewers beyond age and gender, our analytics will help them break through all the static to reach the right audience with the right message,” said Manish Gupta, EVP, global information management and data products at American Express.

Dish Media Sales announced the availability of addressable advertising inventory on eight Latino networks (beIN Sports, Discovery en Espanol, ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, Galavision, Telemundo, Telemundo West and Univision Deportes) on Dish’s satellite pay-TV service. “We’re offering brands the opportunity to have a meaningful, in-language conversation with the largest Latino bilingual customer base in pay-TV,” said Adam Gaynor, VP of Dish Media Sales. Dish stakes a claim as the first national pay-TV provider to offer household-addressable advertising on Latino networks.

GLOBAL GOINGS ON

FremantleMedia secured its first global commissions for dating format Hear Me. Love Me. See Me. Israeli broadcaster Channel 10 and the Italian broadcaster FOX Life are onboard; Abot Hameiri and FremantleMedia Italy will produce the respective versions for launch this summer.

A+E Networks UK will launch a new free-to-air entertainment channel in the UK this fall on Freeview, following a long-term DTT capacity deal with SDN. The channel name and content line-up will be revealed later this summer. A+E rolled out Lifetime as a FTA channel in Turkey in April.
