IN THE NEWS

Succumbing to the increasing challenges facing niche cable nets to attract audiences and maintain carriage deals, Pivot TV, launched in 2013, is going off the air. “As the media landscape changes, we have been evaluating how we fulfill our mission to entertain and inspire social action around the world’s most pressing issues,” said David Linde, CEO of parent company Participant Media. “That process has led us to the decision to move away from owning and operating a cable network.” Millennial-friendly Pivot, home to HitRecord on TV and Please Like Me, is expected to shut down in late fall or winter.

Women and minorities continue to struggle to land their first-time episodic TV directing job, reports the DGA. Last year 23 percent of first-timers were women and 15 percent were minorities, up slightly for women and flat for people of color, according to a DGA study. One issue: two-thirds of first-time directors were already affiliated with the show and given the job as a perk, and were significantly less likely to direct again than outsiders with directing experience. “To change the hiring pool, you have to change the pipeline,” said Bethany Rooney, co-chair of the DGA Diversity Task Force. “Year after year when we put out our TV director diversity report, the media and public are stunned that the numbers remain virtually the same. But how can it change when employers hand out so many first-time director assignments as perks?”

INSIGHTS

Netflixoriginal Stranger Thingsis a creepy nostalgia trip thattakes viewers back to the classic horror films of the ’80s, say the experts at cultural insights agency TruthCo., which featured the buzzy supernatural drama in its August Show to Know. But Stranger’s appeal goes beyond homage. “In a moment of deep political divides and eroding trust in institutions,” TruthCo. tells Cynopsis, “the show uses this temporal distance to provide a safe vantage from which to examineanxieties about government conspiracy and real-life monsters.”
