IN THE NEWS

Anchorman Jorge Ramos and his Univision team landed in Miami yesterday, but they were missing their camera equipment and content from their phones. The group had been detained at the presidential palace in Venezuela and interrogated on Monday, after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro stopped an interview when Ramos showed him videos of young people eating scraps of food out of a garbage truck. Ramos wants the 17-minute recording of the abbreviated interview back. “They are going to say that they already deleted the images of the interview, but they also recorded the interview with three cameras, I saw them, so the interview is there,” Ramos told reporters in Miami. “If Maduro is not a coward... then he should show the complete interview.”

Noticias Telemundo correspondent Daniel Garrido also faced danger in Venezuela, when was covering the detention and deportation of the Univision crew. Garrido was abducted Tuesday at 6a in Caracas by a group of unidentified armed men, who forced him into a vehicle and covered his head with a hood. After questioning him for six hours and seizing his equipment, the kidnappers freed him without explanation and without returning his equipment. Telemundo said Garrido is “free and in good health.”

Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of former president George W. Bush, has been named Hoda Kotb’s co-host for the fourth hour of NBC’s Today. She’ll replace Kathie Lee Gifford, who is stepping down in April. “My dad just wrote three words, which made me weep,” she told Kotb and Gifford. “He said, ‘Very proud dad.’ Which I’m like, what is there to be proud of? I’m just drinking wine in the morning!” Tweeted Gifford, “So thrilled for my sweet friend...She will be a beautiful addition to this show.”

A federal appeals court judge ruled Tuesday that AT&T’s $81 billion acquisition of Time Warner can stand, ending a two-and-a-half year legal battle. Anti-trust regulators claimed the deal was harmful to consumers and rival distributors. “The department has no plans to seek further review,” said a DOJ spokesperson.

Fourth quarter total revenue for Discovery was $2.8 billion, up 51% versus 4Q17. U.S. networks showed a 1% gain, while revenues for its global channels grew by 8%. Not counting the company’s purchase of Scripps, revenue was down 2%. “2018 was a transformational year for Discovery, highlighted by our operational accomplishments, our strong progress in synergy generation and our overall solid financial performance, as we continued powering people's passions around the world,” said David Zaslav, President and CEO. “Discovery is a differentiated global content company, and we are optimistic that we will continue to build on all of our operating momentum to drive additional shareholder value into the future.”

Discussing Discovery’s results in a analysts call, Zaslav said the TV partnership with Fixer Upper stars Chip and Joanna Gaines will have programming from the couple added to an existing network that is “doing OK and taking it to the next level.” Zaslav also said the company has “a real vision” for going direct to consumer.

With a lift from political ad spending, Nexstar reported record revenue of $798 million in 4Q18, up 22% versus 4Q17. CEO Perry Sook attributed the gains to “the ongoing success of our strategies focused on leveraging our local content and community involvement to generate record shares of political spending in our markets,” as well as continued distribution and digital revenue growth. Nextstar expects its $4.1 billion deal for Tribune Media to close by the end of the third quarter of 2019.

Whistle study “From Nerdy to Norm,” on Gen Z males’ opinions on gaming, revealed that for Gen Z, gaming is the new “going to the mall.” Playing and watching is the way they socialize. Unlike millennial males, gaming for Gen Z is less about measuring up against their friends, “and more a point of connection, camaraderie and companionship.” The survey, hosted by Qualtrics, also found more than three in four Gen Z males are regular video game watchers, a 25% increase over their millennial counterparts.

DIGITAL DATA

Comcast CEO Brian Roberts indicated targeted advertising is a goal for NBCUniversal’s ad-supported streaming service, slated to debut in 2020. “We still do most of [our advertising] through the broadcast and cable technology where we all experience the same thing,” said Roberts at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telcom Conference. “We’re not giving you an intelligent ad. These streaming platforms have that capability.” As far as the company’s content, “Some of it will monetize best being on an advertising platform, others will monetize best being on a third-party platform,” said Roberts. “We’re very much focused on not just, as others have said, going completely cold turkey and taking it off all these other platforms. I don’t think that’s our mindset at the moment. We like those relationships.”

Facebook is planning to renew only about a third of the news shows it launched for Facebook Watch since June.

ADVERTISING

Mobile location data-targeting platform SITO Mobile introduced a performance guarantee in which SITO will develop, plan and execute media buys that meet or exceed mutually agreed upon key performance indicators - or SITO will continue to run the campaign at its own expense until the agreed-upon campaign goals are reached. Advertisers must traffic the campaign using SITO’s DSP and ad server platform; SITO will incorporate an MRC accredited, third-party campaign measurement service of the marketer’s choice, at no additional cost.

According to new research from the CMO Council, in partnership with Harte Hanks, 41% of marketers worry that in the race to master data and technology, an understanding of human relationships is lost; nearly one-third of respondents admit that they sometimes forget that their “targets” are human beings. “Somewhere in our adoption of data, technology and process, the customer and the very real, human and fragile relationships that marketers have worked so hard to build have been lost, giving way to settling for assumptions about broad personas and an almost obsessive focus on campaign performance,” said Liz Miller, SVP of Marketing with the CMO Council. “What came to life most notably in this research was the absolute desire of marketers to go back to their roots of relationship builders, leveraging the ‘why’ behind customer actions and intentions to build lasting dialogues with customers instead of just pushing accounts and targets down a pre-set campaign path.” Exceptions were marquee experiential brands like Amazon, Google, Apple, Nike and Starbucks, which 42% of marketers believe are using omni-channel engagement to guide and inspire customers, leveraging their experience as a driver for profitability and growth.

TECH TALK

Voice control for their next TV was important to 32% of consumers surveyed by Adobe Anaytics. Thirty-six percent of respondents said they already had smart speakers, versus 28% last year. Asked whether they have increased their use of smart speaker devices over the past year, 77% said yes.

Google’s AI-powered grammar-checker will be a native feature in Google Docs for G Suite users, for businesses. Before, a system administrator had to turn on the feature. “Using machine translation, we are able to recognize errors and suggest corrections as work is getting done,” said Vishnu Sivaji, a G Suite product manager at Google, in a blog post. “In doing so, machine translation techniques can catch a range of different corrections, from simple grammatical rules such as how to use ‘a’ versus ‘an’ in a sentence, to more complex grammatical concepts such as how to use subordinate clauses correctly.”

Video startup Xumo is in talks to be acquired, reports Variety. Launched in 2011, Xumo lets consumers browse streaming channels on their TV, and has distribution partnerships with smart TV makers.

Pandora jumps on the podcast craze with the launch of Stories, which lets artists create playlists that include commentary. “Podcasts can tell stories about music, but it’s difficult to include full songs. Regular playlists have songs but lack personal context from the artists behind them,” said Jeff Zuchowski, VP of Artist Marketing and Industry Marketing. “We’ve created Pandora Stories to fill that void.”
