IN THE NEWS

Over $35 million has been pledged for disaster relief from the October 14 One Voice: Somos Live! telecast. The concert, featuring a slew of celebs including Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Alex Rodriguez, Maroon 5 and Chris Martin, to name a few, aired on dozens of networks, including Univision, Telemundo, NBC, Viacom channels, Azteca America and UniMas. Donations can still be made online at somosonevoice.com.

“There’s good stuff out there, mediocre stuff out there and not so good stuff,” said HBO chairman and CEO Richard Plepler during his MIPCOM keynote speech. “What will matter more than ever as we go forward is brands and the sacredness of quality brands.” And some of HBO’s quality content is overseas, where local content “always outperforms even Game of Thrones,” said Plepler. In December, some of that programming will be available on HBO’s streaming services. For more MIPCOM news, see below.

Viacom and Charter reached a short-term extension of their carriage agreement, which expired October 15, as the companies work to reach a “mutually beneficial” deal. The cable operator has about 16.6 million video subscribers.

The Weinstein Company, battered as allegations of sexual assault and harassment mount against ousted co-founder Harvey Weinstein, reached a deal with Colony Capital for “an immediate capital infusion.” Colony founder and executive chairman Thomas J. Barrack said his company will help return TWC to “its rightful iconic position in the independent film and television industry.”

But not with Harvey. The board of directors of the Producers Guild of America voted unanimously to start expulsion proceedings against the disgraced Weinstein, and created an anti-sexual harassment task force to propose solutions to sexual harassment in the entertainment industry. “This is a systemic and pervasive problem requiring immediate industry-wide action,” said the board. Weinstein was booted from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences 2 days earlier.

Turns out House of Cards was required viewing for a Russian “troll factory” tasked with influencing the 2016 U.S. presidential election with fake news. According to an interview broadcast on Russian TV station Rain, the Internet Research Agency turned to the Netflix drama to get a handle on the American political system. “It was necessary to know all the main problems of the United States of America,” said an agency worker identified as Maksim in the Rain story. Apparently watching Frank Underwood helped.

Speaking of fake news, that’s what President Trump called a just-revealed September subpoena for “all documents concerning any woman who asserted Donald J. Trump touched her inappropriately.” The request is part of a defamation case by former The Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos, who was branded a liar by Trump when, pre-election, she accused him of lewd behavior back in 2007. “It’s fake, it’s made up stuff and it’s disgraceful what happens, but that happens in the world of politics,” said Trump at a press conference in the Rose Garden.

The Casting Society of America is hosting an open call for transgender actors on Sunday, October 22, with over 30 CSA members in New York, LA, Chicago, Portland, Toronto, Montreal and London opening their offices to union and non-union trans performers; Barcelona will conduct open call the following day. The initiative is part of the CSA’s effort for more transgender inclusion in TV and film.

NBC axed the Today show editor who leaked that 8-minute tape of MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell swearing at his crew because of hammering he could hear in his earpiece, reports the New York Post. The leaker shared the video on September 20 “because he thought it was funny,” but “left a very clear trail,” a source told the Post, and was fired 6 days later. O’Donnell apologized after the clip aired, saying, “A better anchorman and a better person would’ve had a better reaction to technical difficulties.”

National Geographic acquired exclusive U.S. cable and syndication rights to NBC’s Running Wild with Bear Grylls, and will start airing the first 3 seasons on Thursday, October 26. The adventure/survival series “is incredibly complementary to our pursuit of programming and talent that support the very best of what audiences expect from National Geographic,” said Christian Drobnyk, EVP, programming strategy and acquisitions for National Geographic Channels.

The International Documentary Association announced its initial round of nominees for the 2017 IDA Documentary Awards, taking place Saturday, December 9 in LA. Up for Best Episodic Series are Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, Chef’s Table, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, MARS, and Planet Earth II. For more, go here.

DIGITAL DATA

Think small: 53% of all internet ad dollars will go to spots viewed on mobile, projects Zenith Mobile’s Advertising Forecast for 2017. In the 52 countries covered, 66% of respondents will own a smartphone in 2018, up from 58% in 2016. And that means more ways for consumers to connect with content anywhere they are. “Some of these contacts take the form of paid advertising in third-party content,” notes the report, “but mobile technology is also enabling broader brand experiences, such as branded content and social media engagement.”

Adding 850,000 new U.S. subscribers, Netflix reached 52.77 million in 3Q17. International growth was even better, up 4.45 million for a total of 56.48 million. Not surprisingly, stock hit a record high, up 1.6% to hit $202.59.

VIDEOS IN SHORT

FlixSnip will also be available to video streaming services like Hulu, Amazon, Google Play, Apple TV and Facebook Watch.

ADVERTISING & BRANDS

Over 40 execs from TV content companies including ABC, A+E Networks, AMC Networks, CBS, Fox, Discovery Communications, Hallmark channels, Turner, Viacom and more met last week and agreed to continue to collaborate on possible activation of a new multi-touch attribution measurement model developed by Data Plus Math. The goal of Project Thor is to provide advertisers with sales impact from premium, multi-screen TV video advertising. “We’ve been clamoring for a great industry-level provider on attribution for an obvious reason – we fully believe that when the TV ad platform’s effect on sales outcomes can be widely known, we’ll have the sophisticated data advertisers want in order to double-down on the TV ad platform,” said Video Advertising Bureau president Sean Cunningham after the meeting.

Toyota is partnering with Discovery VR and Google’s VR team for new virtual reality series, Discovery TRVLR. The 38-episode series, exploring unique cultures and obscure traditions across the globe, launches Friday, November on YouTube DiscoveryVR.com and the Discovery VR app. “Toyota has consistently supported new and emerging platforms like Discovery VR that share our commitment to drive innovation and exploration through storytelling,” said Nancy Inouye, national media manager, Toyota Motor North America.
