IN THE NEWS
Katie Couric and EPIX are being sued for over $12 million for alleged manipulation of footage in gun control advocacy documentary Under The Gun. “The Defendants intentionally disregarded the truth” of an exchange about background checks, “and took at least six intentional steps to manufacture a fictional exchange to support their agenda,” said the defamation suit, filed in Virginia federal court on Tuesday. Plaintiffs the VCDL, Patricia Webb and Daniel Hawes, who appear in the doc, want compensatory damages of $12 million, as well as punitive damages of $350,000 for each plaintiff. Responded the film’s director, Stefan Friedman, “It’s ironic that people who so passionately defend the Second Amendment want to trample on the rights guaranteed to filmmakers under the First.”
Bill Clinton is headed to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show tomorrow, September 15. It marks the former president’s tenth appearance on the late night show, but first since Trevor Noah took over as host.

Great British Bake Off hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc won’t continue with the hit UK competition series when it moves from BBC One to Channel 4 next year. “The BBC nurtured the show from its infancy and helped give it its distinctive warmth and charm, growing it from an audience of two million to nearly 15 [million] at its peak,” Perkins and Giedroyc said in a statement. “We’ve had the most amazing time on Bake Off, and have loved seeing it rise and rise like a pair of yeasted Latvian baps. We’re not going with the dough. We wish all the future bakers every success.” Series airs on PBS as The Great British Baking Show.
Charles Pratt (Desperate Housewives, Melrose Place) has been named showrunner of new FOX series Star, created/executive produced by Lee Daniels and Tom Donaghy. Pratt replaces Charley Murray, who served as co-showrunner with Donaghy before leaving last week over creative differences.

The 2016 Beta Research Cable Subscriber Study rated basic cable networks in categories important to cable TV providers: importance to enjoyment among potential cord-cutters, average perceived value among viewers and favorite among total adults. The top ranked basic networks among potential cord cutters included Discovery, History and FX, each with 51 percent, followed by A&E, Food Network and Comedy Central with 48 percent.
