Today, traditional TV still accounts for the lion’s share of video viewing, but online and mobile are where the growth is. From fourth quarter 2012 to fourth-quarter 2013, the hours consumers spent watching online video grew 30%. When managed together, TV/digital/mobile hold the potential to drive real impact for advertisers—enabling them to maximize the customers they reach and/or reinforce key messaging across screens. After all, ‘It’s all about screens’.
CBS & ’60 Minutes’ #1 on Sunday for Broadcast Television.
Sunday, 06.01.14 (Posted on 06.02.14)
CBS
The Tiffany Network began the evening at 7P with a rerun of an old reliable, ’60 Minutes’ and it pulled in 8.0 million viewers and a 6.5/12 to lead the evening on all of broadcast. CBS was testing its loyal audiences as it again ran an all rerun evening. At 8P, a rerun of ‘Elementary’ drew 4.02 million viewers and a 2.9/5. At 9P, another rerun of ‘The Good Wife’ drew 3.87 million viewers and a 2.9/5. And, at 10P, another rerun on the evening, this time for ‘The Mentalist’ drew 4.68 million viewers and a 3.4/6. Although they won with all reruns, you wonder why people turn to cable.
NBC

At 9P, an original episode of ‘Believe’ drew 4.18 million viewers and a 2.8/5. Then at 10P, it delivered another original episode, this time of ‘Crisis’ and it drew 3.86 million viewers and a 2.5/4.
ABC
The Alphabet Network tried to fool their faithful audiences by sandwiching two reruns in-between an original series. At 7P, a rerun of ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’ (nothing like a rerun laugh or two) drew 5.12 million viewers and a 2.8/5. At 8P, ‘The Bachelorette’ for two hours delivered 4.90 million viewers and a 3.4/6. And at 10P, the Disney Broadcast Network ran a rerun of ‘Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ and it drew 1.60 million viewers and a 3.1/2.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast tried a little trickery of its own on Sunday. At 7P, it brought into the Sunday lineup a program that has been cancelled, ‘Enlisted’ on a new day and time drew 1.15 million viewers and a 0.9/2. At 730P, a rerun of ‘American Dad!’ drew 1.25 million viewers and an 0.9/2. At 8P, a rerun of ‘The Simpsons’ drew 2.49 million viewers and a 1.6/3. And at 830P, a rerun of ‘Family Guy’ brought to an end Animation Domination with 2.75 million viewers and a 1.8/3. At 9P, an original episode of ‘Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey’ drew the network’s highest of the evening with 3.45 million viewers and a 2.4/4.

Television Research
More Than One-Quarter of Recorded TV Content Said Never Watched

Younger consumers were the most likely to discard recorded programs, with respondents aged 16-34 deleting about one-third of recorded content.

Univision’s Massive World Cup Lineup Includes Live-Streaming 64 Matches on Mobile, Online
According to Variety, Univision Communications will feed the futbol frenzy for the FIFA World Cup this summer, with plans that include dedicating the Univision Deportes Network to 24-hour coverage of the world’s biggest sporting event and live-streaming all 64 matches on mobile apps and online. Disney/ESPN and Univision have split up U.S. broadcast rights for the Brazil-hosted World Cup, which runs from June 12 to July 13, 2014. Univision has exclusive rights to Spanish-language telecasts in the States; Disney has English-language rights for broadcasts it will carry across ABC, ESPN and other properties including digital platforms, plus Portuguese and select matches in Korean. Univision Deportes Network (UDN), which launched in 2012 and is available in 40 million homes, will deliver more 2014 World Cup content than any other U.S. network, including 56 live matches (which will be simulcast on the flagship Univision Network). UDN’s programming will be focused exclusively on the World Cup around the clock starting Monday, June 9, for the duration of the event.
Futbol fans also will be able to watch the World Cup’s 64 matches live on the recently launched Univision Deportes App — available for PCs and iOS and Android smartphones and tablets — as well as view highlights and other content, receive personalized alerts, and access match schedules, results and other content. But to watch the World Cup’s final rounds on Univision’s digital outlets, viewers will have to subscribe to a pay-TV provider that carries UDN. The sports net is not available on Comcast — and Univision has set up a web page urging subs to contact the MSO to add it. Providers that carry UDN include DirecTV, Dish Network, Time Warner Cable, Cox, AT&T U-verse and Verizon FiOS. Via the Univision Deportes App, the first two rounds of World Cup action will be available free for anyone to watch. Starting July 4 with the quarterfinals through the July 13 final, users must log in using credentials from their pay-TV provider. ESPN’s live-streaming of the 64 World Cup matches online and on mobile will also require subs to authenticate their pay-TV subscription.

1. ‘Maleficent’ $100.6 million
2. ‘X-Man: Days of Past Future’ $95.6 million
3. ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ $20 million
4. ‘Godzilla’ $15 million
‘Maleficent’ rode ‘Frozen’s’ coattails to a decisive victory at last weekend’s box office, analysts say. More than any other Hollywood player, Walt Disney Studios has adroitly tapped into the strength of the female movie-going audience, keeping this potent demographic in mind while cooking up everything from princess lines to ‘Let it Go’-style empowerment anthems. Analysts argue that ‘Frozen’ gave a shot of adrenaline to a type of entertainment that had grown listless since the glory days of ‘Beauty & the Beast’ and ‘The Little Mermaid’, by expertly mixing post-feminist depictions of women with royal fantasies. In the case of “Maleficent,” the re-imagining of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ managed to attract a crowd that was 60% female, providing welcome relief to the glut of male-skewing films in the marketplace. For its part, ‘Frozen’ skewed 57% female. Point, if you want to reach women, cinema is a powerful force to do so.
