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’.

The Animal Network of Broadcast has a 30 minute overrun of football, delaying all of their programming by a half hour. At 7P, the 30-minute primetime football overrun drew 20.66 million viewers and a 16.1/28. At 730P, that led into ‘The OT’, and 19.12 million viewers with a 16.4/27. The overnight results for Fox, which was up by double-digit percentages, are approximate due to football. At 8P, the longest running scripted series in the history of television, animated ‘The Simpsons’, kicked-off season #26 with 8.5 million viewers and a 5.5/8. Compared to the year-ago season-opener (4.4/7 on 9/29/13), this is a rise of 25%.

At 7P, a clips show special ‘Once Upon a Time: Storybrooke Has Frozen Over’ drew 5.14 million viewers and a 3.1/5 in the household overnights. At 8P, that led into the Season premiere of ‘Once Upon A time’ with 9.33 million viewers and a 5.5/8 (#3), which was 6% above the 5.2/8 on the year-ago evening (which translated into 8.52 million viewers). And at 9P, the second season premiere of drama ‘Resurrection’ drew 7.565 million viewers and a 4.8/7, which maintained 86% of lead-in ‘Once Upon a Time’ (5.6/ 8).

Cinema/Television Production News
The Federal Aviation Administration announced on Thursday that it will allow the restricted use of unmanned aircraft, or drones, on movie and TV locations. According to a story in Variety by Ted Johnson, the agency’s approval had been expected. It grants a waiver to six aerial photo and video production companies to use the unmanned aircraft in production. The FAA determined that the drones do not need an FAA certificate of air worthiness based on a finding that they do not a pose a threat to national airspace users or national security. Productions like “Skyfall” and the Harry Potter movies have already been using camera-mounted drones for aerial shots, but the filming has been in other countries that allow for their use.
The FAA approval comes with restrictions: the unmanned aircraft can be used only in closed sets. A certified pilot must operate the drones, and they will be allowed to got up to 400 feet, within sight lines. Productions must give the FAA notice of their use, so the agency can inform air traffic control in that region. The FAA also is not allowing the use of drones at night, although Huerta indicated they could reconsider that in the future.
