Asked if she had any interest in doing a talk show, Sarah Palin told The Hollywood Reporter, "I hear everyone recently got canned from The View, maybe a show like that needs a punch of reality and a voice of reason from America’s heartland to knock some humble sense into their scripts." Too soon to worry about how remaining host Whoopi Goldberg feels about that – it’s all "rumor and speculation," ABC told TheWrap. Not that Palin won’t be on the small screen. Sportsman Channel is bringing back Amazing America with Sarah Palin, labeling the former VP candidate who helped propel the net to triple-digit year-over-year growth in HH and key male demos the "First Lady of the Outdoors." For her part, Palin promises "really inspirational stuff" for season two, launching in early 2015.
IN THE NEWS
In an effort to skirt the June 25 Supreme Court ruling that had Aereo service suspended, FilmOn filed with the U.S. copyright service as a small cable company, owner Alki David, told Philly.com, allowing it to transmit local broadcast-TV stations. "This is America," said David. "We have a right to be a cable company….It’s important for FilmOn to be seen as a vanguard of the space." The Greek billionaire heir also announced Monday that FilmOn.com will become the first global IPTV provider to carry Voice of America‘s English language news and features content, available on PC and mobile devices. "FilmOn is extremely proud to be chosen to work with the federal government in this way to provide our viewers with an unrivalled service on a global basis," said David.

PBS science series NOVA is making molecules a little merrier with the NOVA Elements App for Windows 8.1. "The App goes beyond broadcast programming on a fundamental topic – exploring the elements and how they are the building blocks for people, planets, and everything around us," said senior exec producer Paula S. Apsell.
Crown Media Family Networks unveiled the logo for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, ahead of Hallmark Movie Channel’s October 2014 rebrand. "Hallmark Movie Channel has evolved significantly over the past 24 months and it was time to refresh the network with a new name and logo that better embody its brand promise and programming mix," said Susanne McAvoy, EVP of marketing, communications and creative for Crown Media. "The reimagined brand will better identify the network as a wholly distinct destination from Hallmark Channel, while more fully realizing its potential for future growth in the rapidly changing multi-screen universe."
PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT
Meredith Video Studios is talking up three possible TV concepts spun from its Allrecipes brand, acquired in 2012, reports B&C. In the food-centered mix: a cooking competition, a game show and an hour-long strip.
Venevision Productions is teaming with Shine Latino producer Cristina Palacio to develop series targeting the U.S. Hispanic market that will also have international appeal.

My Wild Affair and Sex in the Wild premiere Wednesday, July 16 at 8p and 10p. No need for parental controls, though, this is PBS.

BRANDS & ADVERTISING
Nielsen exhibited its new Multi-Touch Attribution tool to marketers at its Consumer 360 conference, linking consumers’ digital media exposures with household purchases. The measurement company has been working with Kraft on the pilot project, using algorithms to calculate ROI, "enabling more granular and actionable insight."
