NBC
The Peacock Network went old-school on Saturday as it brought back prime time boxing. But this time it was from St. Nicholos Arena. At 8P, ‘Premier Boxing Champions in Alabama: Wilder vs Duhaupas’ pulled in an average 1.96 million viewers. Note: Due to the nature of live sports, NBC Boxing is tentative and will be adjusted in the final ratings.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcasting also made its Saturday night a Pac 12 football evening. At 8P, ‘Utah clobbered Oregon’ in Eugene as it finished with an average 3.40 million viewers.

FIFA…FIFA…FIFA
Ahhhh Switzerland, After Four Months, Decides To Target Blatter
The Swiss attorney general’s office Friday targeted Sepp Blatter, FIFA’s longtime president, in a criminal investigation that deals a crippling blow to the close-knit circle that has ruled the world’s most popular sport for decades. A statement was issued by the OAG on Friday stated that Blatter is under “suspicion of criminal mismanagement as well as … on suspicion of misappropriation” of FIFA funds.
The investigation centers on a 2005 contract Blatter signed with the Caribbean Football Union that the OAG deems to be “unfavorable for FIFA,” adding that “Blatter also violated his fiduciary duties and acted against the interest of FIFA and/or FIFA Marketing” in the implementation of the contract.
Also mentioned was what the OAG characterized as “a disloyal payment”—meaning that it ran counter to FIFA’s interests–of about $2 million made to the group’s current vice president, Michel Platini, who is considered the frontrunner to replace Blatter as the soccer organization’s next chief.
Research
Billenials
Billennials are predominantly Hispanic consumers who are in the millienial age group and bilingual. Hispanics, 57 million strong, represent one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. population and are projected to fuel the country’s growth. Hispanics are young, bilingual, upwardly mobile, socially engaged and digitally savvy. Latinos represent 22% of the overall millennial population in the U.S. This Billennial target segment is a force.
Did we say they are digitally savvy? Hispanics are leading the way on mobile. As mobile campaigns evolve, it’ will be imperative for mobile advertising to break through. Isabella Sanchez (in MediaLife 092515) stated, ‘Every media plan developed, we joke that it’s mobile, mobile and more mobile. There will be a day soon when folks will ask if we ever even used desktop computers, they’ll be viewed as antiques.’ She added, ‘The best way we’ve found to engage is via online video; Hispanics watch a tremendous amount of video on mobile devices, which leads to stronger engagement.
Hispanic media planning in the past was relatively easy because the audience was fairly concentrated. But now there is fragmentation. The challenge is to continue to reach audiences and follow the consumers wherever they are. And that means ‘MOBILENow’.
Sanchez added, ‘Content creation is ‘now imperative to effectively reach audiences. Last week, the number 1 paid app on iTunes was Crystal, a content blocker for Apple devices. Clearly consumers are getting smarter and are willing to pay to block ads. We need to create content in the right environments. But it needs to be relevant content and done well, otherwise it can be obvious and intrusive. Content must have entertainment or educational value for the consumer. But when it’s not done well, it feels forced and probably has the reverse affect than was intended.’
80% of shoppers say they engage with a retailer or brand through digital/mobile before setting foot inside the store: http://www.cnasophis.com/consumer-insight/
Retailers need to shift from face-to-face engagement with consumers to one-on-one engagement through their mobile devices: http://www.cnasophis.com/consumer-insight/
Gen X Now Reportedly The Largest Generation of Affluents
Among affluents, Gen Xers (34-50) now outnumber Baby Boomers (51-69) for the first time, with the former accounting for 37% of all affluents and the latter 32%, according to Ipsos’ latest annual survey of affluents in the US. The results are essentially switched from last year, leading Ipsos to declare this “a changing of the generational guard.” Even so, Boomers continue to lead on one important front. Boomer respondents reported a median household net worth of $913,000, almost twice the figure reported by Gen Xers ($552,000). Millennials (18-33), who comprise one-quarter of affluents, reported a median net worth of $516,000, not far behind Gen Xers; Seniors (70+), the smallest group (5% share) of affluents, reported the highest median net worth, of $1.42 million.
The Ipsos survey notes that affluent Gen Xers are far from being a monolithic group, a point that is often mentioned about Millennials, but less so with respect to Gen Xers. Younger Gen Xers (under 40), for example, tend to have similar tastes to Millennials in various areas (such as social media, entertainment trends and organic food), while older Gen Xers share more psychographic traits with Boomers.
Recently, the Pew Research Center revealed that 58% of Gen Xers identify with their generational label, compared to 78% of Boomers. An earlier study from MetLife found that 41% of Gen Xers related most to their own generation, while 28% related most to Baby Boomers. When it comes to the various traits they ascribe to their generation, the Pew survey discovered that Gen Xers are roughly in the middle of Millennials and Baby Boomers (perhaps a function of using averages). The Ipsos survey, for its part, shows that while 54% of Gen Xers aged 34-41 agree that they “like to stand out from others,” only 41% of those aged 42-50 agree.
Overall, the Ipsos study reveals that 23% of American households (and 28% of American adults) qualify as being affluent, on par with last year’s results. Among the $2.7 trillion in annual consumer spending by affluents (which represents an uptick from last year), the largest expenditure categories are:
#1 Automotive
#2 Home and garden
#3 Personal insurance
#4 Travel
#5 Education
#6 Electronics.
These results signify a greater spending role for travel and electronics than in last year’s survey.
Not surprisingly, affluents tend to live in urban areas, with 44% living in 10 major cities. The top 5 cities by share of affluents are:
#1 New York City (10% of affluents)
#2 Los Angeles (7%)
#3 Chicago (5%)
#4 San Francisco (4%)
#5 Washington, DC (4%).
Affluents living in these cities tend to exhibit different characteristics, with those in New York City showing an above-average inclination to value their cultural or ethnic heritage and to have an interest in fashion and luxury. Affluents in San Francisco skew heavily Asian-American (29% of San Francisco affluents versus 8% nationally) and tend to be more liberal, with interests in hybrid vehicles and organic food. By comparison, affluents in Los Angeles have stronger interests in automobiles, luxury, fashion and entertainment.
Affluent Millennials spend 10.4 hours a week with social media, almost twice the affluent average of 5.5 hours per week. Although Facebook and YouTube are the top social platforms for affluents overall and Millennials in particular, the youngest group is more heavily drawn to Instagram (54% using) and Snapchat (35%) than the affluent population as a whole (29% and 13%, respectively), with this likely a reflection of the traditionally younger audience of these platforms.
In other media-related data:
. More than 4 in 5 affluents read print magazines and almost half read national newspapers (with these skewing heavily towards an affluent audience, per a MarketingCharts report)
. Almost all (98%) affluents report having watched TV in the past 7 days and close to 9 in 10 listened to radio (including 73% listening to over-the-air radio)
Mobile News
Mobile Phone Video Viewers Spending Most of Their Time With Short-Form Content
Online video viewers using mobile phones spent two-thirds of their viewing time in Q2 with content less than 10 minutes in length, according to Ooyala’s latest quarterly study. Desktops were also primarily used for short-form content (60% of time), though the same wasn’t true for tablets or connected TVs, for which a majority of viewing time was spent with content in excess of 10 minutes in length. For the quarter, about half of time spent watching video on connected TVs was for content 30 minutes or longer. That was the largest share of any device, with content of that length accounting for only 23% of mobile phone viewing time.
Separately, the report notes that mobile devices accounted for 44% of video plays in Q2.
