| IN THE NEWS Amazon is in talks to buy MGM, according to reports that set an offer price at somewhere between $7 billion and $10 billion. The studio – on the block since December – has a library of 17,000 hours of television and 4000 films, content that would bolster Amazon Prime Video offerings as the streaming wars heat up. Returns on advertising investment, brand safety, lifetime customer value, and conversions and/or sales are the most important key performance indicators to advertisers, according to a report from the Association of Advertisers – but they are not necessarily the KPIs they use most often. According to "Media KPIs That Matter," based on a survey among ANA members in January and February, the most common ones used rely on the efficiency of advertising - CPMs (cost-per-thousand), CPC (cost-per-click), unique reach and site visits. “Marketers now demand specific and accurate indicators measuring the efficiency of their media buys," said ANA CEO Bob Liodice. "This report demonstrates they are keeping a keen eye on every aspect of their investments.” Diversity on-screen and behind the camera are some of the top drivers of how audiences choose content, according to a study from Starz in partnership with UCLA’s Center for Scholars & Storytellers, “Give The People What They Want: US Audiences and Their Appetite for Multicultural Media Content.” The respondents, adults 18-54, said that having female and diverse representation behind the camera was important. Women reported feeling notably less represented compared to men, and racial minorities still feel representation is lacking. We told you so, thought Starz. “For years, Starz has been focused on delivering premium content that amplifies narratives by, about and for women and underrepresented audiences and the results of this study confirm we are delivering exactly what consumers are looking for across the TV and media landscape,” said Jeffrey Hirsch, STARZ President and CEO. “We will remain deeply committed to our existing mandate.” While “live continues to be an important strategy” for Disney, said Rita Ferro, President of Advertising Sales and Partnerships, during a pre-upfront call, tanking ratings for many events have hardly gone ignored. “There’s no question that we will look at all of the sponsorships across all of our business going forward and make sure that they reflect the potential and the audience and the impact that they drive,” said Ferro. As for next year’s Academy Awards, “Being at the Oscars, being on the red carpet and having all of that come back will be a tremendous opportunity to get fans and clients back together again,” she said. And in more upfront news… Discovery Inc. President CEO David Zaslav opened the company’s upfront presentation on Tuesday with comments that surely hadn’t been in the original script, noting the “momentous” news that broke Monday about AT&T spinning off WarnerMedia, to create a new standalone company with Discovery. Then it was down to upfront business, with Chief US Advertising Sales Officer Jon Steinlauf, saying, “No one does real life like we do, and no one has brands like ours.” There was a lot of ground to cover - Discovery intends to produce 5,000 new hours of linear TV, the equivalent 15 new episodes a night. Also amping up the content is new streaming platform discovery+ , which will have hundreds of exclusive series, but the streamer “is built to complement linear, not cannibalize it,” said Steinlauf. Programming highlights included new shows across non-fiction genres, like discovery+ auto show “Celebrity IOU: Joyride” ; Martha Stewart gardening series “Martha Gets Down and Dirty”; and paranormal series “The Haunted Museum.” Bragging rights include: Discovery Channel is the #1 cable network among men 25-54 in primetime outside of sports, owning half the top 10 unscripted cable series; HGTV is the #1 network for upscale women for 13 years running and ranks as the #1 network for women in total day viewing year-to-date; Food Network was the #1 most-distributed cable network for both households and people 25-54; TLC holds the #1 spot for women in primetime year-to-date; and OWN is the leading destination for African American women and has the top series in cable in primetime among African-American women 18+, households and P2+. On the advertising front, Discovery, Inc. announced that it will partner with iSpot.tv to deliver advertisers information about the effectiveness of their advertising in the US. The agreement allows Discovery to offer its advertisers the ability to attribute ad exposures generated from its networks and streaming properties to sales activities that occur as a result. “Our advertisers know Discovery is an excellent vehicle for reaching highly engaged audiences with a brand message, but today we’re taking more steps to ensure they have the proof that investing with Discovery works and the intelligence to know how to maximize their investments with us going forward,” said Jim Keller, EVP, Digital Ad Sales and Advanced Advertising, Discovery, Inc. Back under the Disney umbrella, ABC’s fall lineup has the first of two 2021 seasons of “The Bachelorette” taking the Tuesday-at-8p slot, followed by new girl group series “Queens.” The reboot of “The Wonder Years” lands at 8:30p on Wednesdays, with “Home Economics” relocated to a new time, 9:30p. “Big Sky” has moved to Thursdays at 10p, following “Grey’s Anatomy.” …Season ten of FX’s “American Horror Story” and FX on Hulu spinoff “American Horror Stories” will debut this summer. Season three of FX’s “Atlanta” is in production in Paris, after a pandemic delay….“The Captain,” a docu-series focused on New York Yankee Derek Jeter is in the works at ESPN Films, for a 2022 premiere on ESPN and ESPN+. Announcements made during Nat Geo’s upfront presentationon Tuesday included three-night event “The Hot Zone Anthrax,” starring Daniel Dae Kim and Tony Goldwyn, to premiere Thanksgiving weekend; natural History Series “National Parks,” narrated by Garth Brooks; and renewals of “Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted”; “Running Wild with Bear Grills”; “Trafficked with Mariana Van Zeller”; “Life Below Zero,” “Life Below Zero: Next Generation,” and “Port Protection, Alaska.” New unscripted shows on the way include “The 80s: Top Ten”; and “Brain Games on the Road.” The renewal and tenth anniversary of summer stunt “Sharkfest” was announced, as well as a collaboration with Minorities in Shark Science that makes MISS experts available as talent and experts for “Sharkfest” shows. Nat Geo WILD’s upfront slate includes a new season of “The Incredible Dr. Pol”; new seasons of the “Secrets of the Zoo” franchise, featuring Tampa and Columbus locations; and returns of “Critter Fixers: Country Vets,” “Dr. Oakley, Yukon Vet” and “Heartland Docs, DVM.” “Over the past year, families have found comfort in and strengthened the bonds with the animals in their lives,” said National Geographic Global Television Networks President Courteney Monroe. “Nat Geo WILD has always celebrated the human-animal connection and remains the leading destination for programming about animals and the people who love them.” Univision announced it is launching its first Brand Studio, combining original brand journalism with insights to deliver storytelling across the Univision portfolio and social media. Additionally, Univision is building the industry’s first Hispanic audience data graph, to optimize client campaigns and help solve for underrepresentation of Hispanic consumers in the advanced data sets iused across the industry. It will help power new addressable TV beta offerings with Vizio, Dish, and others; strengthen Univision’s audience targeting capabilities; and deliver a cross-platform offering that connects brands to targeted consumers across the Univision ecosystem. The new capabilities begin rolling out in 4Q21. On the content side, Univision’s unveiled a 2021-2022 programming slate featuring more than 2500 hours of original content across its Univision and UniMás broadcast networks. The company’s programming strategy remains focused on big, live event programming, and in 2022, the network is introducing “UniVisionarios,” a platform designed to recognize those from all walks of life who are committed to improving and advancing the Hispanic community, and “TUDN Mega-Fest,” bringing together soccer and music. Reality competitions with cross-generation appeal return during its “Domingos en Familia” (Family Sundays) programming block. Reality franchises will team with Univision’s weekday slate featuring new scripted novelas, including "S.O.S. Me Estoy Enamorando" (S.O.S. I'm Falling in Love), “La Desalmada” (The Fiend), “Vencer el Pasado” (Overcoming the Past), and “Génesis” (The Story of Creation), as well as a modern remake of classic telenovela “Los Ricos Tambien Lloran” (The Rich Also Cry). |
