Today In Communication History
On this date in 1954, the U.S. Senate Army-McCarthy televised hearings began. It was one of the most historic episode in communication history as the world got an inside view of how a new medium could change the stage of players in politics.
NOTE: We have entered a new era in screen ratings. Nielsen is expanding its sample of TV viewers to include new
homes with meters that record the channel being watched—but not the demographics of the people watching. That will be estimated using data modeling and an algorithm Nielsen has developed, and added to the current sample that does include people meters that measure demos. The Panel Expansion (NPX), in which 12,900 households have been added to the national sample, is at the center of this change. The household ratings in these homes are measured by meters on each television in the home, while the demographic ratings in these homes will be assigned by Nielsen using a statistical algorithm. This is the first time since 1987 that homes in the national sample are not equipped with PeopleMeters, which measure both the program viewed and the people watching it.

Want To Reach The Teens? Snapchat!
Snapchat Now Tops Instagram As “Most Important” Social Network.
Teens continue to shift their perceptions of their “most important” social network. First it was Facebook (early 2013), then Twitter (late 2013), and then Instagram (early 2014). The latest flavor du jour, taking over after a 2-year run from Instagram, is Snapchat, according to the most recent biannual teen survey from Piper Jaffray, reported here by FORTUNE. Some 28% of teen respondents named Snapchat their “most important” social network, narrowly ahead of Instagram, which was cited by 27% of respondents. It was the first drop for Instagram, suggesting that Snapchat’s popularity is increasing at least somewhat at the expense of the Facebook-owned network. Facebook, meanwhile, saw its first increase in perceived importance in some time, while Twitter continued its multi-year decline on this measure.
The Piper Jaffray findings – based on a survey of 6,350 US teens with an average age of 17 – come on the heels of separate survey results from Edison Research and Triton Digital supporting the growing popularity of Snapchat. In that survey, more 12-24-year-olds reported using Snapchat (72%) than Facebook (68%) or Instagram (67%). Worth noting, though, was that respondents said that they use Facebook the most often, a finding also corroborated by other research into teens and social media.
Separately, in a recent study, comScore revealed that almost half (47%) of Snapchat’s adult (18+) users are aged 18-24. By comparison, Vine, the platform with the next-largest youth skew, had a much smaller 28% of its users in the 18-24 bracket.
Meanwhile, in other results from the Piper Jaffray survey:
◎ Video game spending reached an all-time high for male teens in this latest edition of the survey, occupying 13% share of their spending, behind only clothing (15%) and food (20%);
◎ Some 51% of teens surveyed report that their household subscribes to Amazon Prime; and
◎ Netflix (38%), YouTube (23%) and Hulu (5%) now together account for almost two-thirds of teens’ TV content time, compared to just 26% for cable TV.

VOD Viewers Don’t Mind Watching Ads For Free Content
According to those fine folks at Nielsen, the rise of video-on-demand (VOD) programming choices is not only a great benefit to viewers—it also opens more opportunities for advertisers and content creators to reach them. But advertising strategies should be navigated carefully, as viewers are looking to cut through the clutter.
-
Many consumers see value in ads, but the value proposition must be right.
In fact, more than half of global respondents who say they watch VOD (51%) programming also say they somewhat or strongly agree that ads in VOD content give them good ideas for new products to try. And importantly, nearly six-in-10 (59%) say they don’t mind getting advertising if they can view free content. This sentiment is particularly strong in North America, where 68% are willing to trade their time and attention for free programming.
What’s clear, however, is the need for more relevant ads that speak directly to consumers. Two-thirds of global respondents say most ads in VOD content are for products they don’t want (66%).
“In a crowded media environment, relevant ads and brand experiences are critical for engaging consumers,” said Megan Clarken, president, Nielsen Product Leadership. “Just as technology has made it easier for consumers to control the amount of advertising they see, it has also made it easier for advertisers to reach the right consumers at the right time and in the right place. The advertisers with the greatest brand and sales impact will naturally be those that connect messages about products and services with the people who want them.”
Other findings from the global video-on-demand report include:
◎ Nearly two-thirds of global respondents (65%) say they watch some form of VOD programming, which includes long- and short-form content.
◎ VOD is becoming a part of daily viewing habits for many. Among those who watch any type of VOD programming, 43% say they watch at least once a day.
◎ More than three-quarters of global respondents (77%) who watch VOD programming agree that they do so because they can view at a time that is convenient for them.
◎ Among those who watch VOD programming, Millennials and Gen X respondents are the most likely to agree that they like to catch up on multiple episodes at once.

Smartphone Owners’ Openness to Transactional Messages Surprising by Industry
More than 8 in 10 smartphone owners claim that service-based messaging has at least some impact on their decision to choose one company over another, according to a Vibes report. The most important features of service-based messaging, per respondents, are basic information such as time, date and tracking information (80% extremely important) and immediacy of the message (73%). Respondents are most open to receiving service-based messages from banking/financial companies (67%) and retail stores (64%), reflecting the frequency of transactions conducted with these types of companies.
With the speed of the messaging and the channel used both important to smartphone owners, the report also notes that more than 3 in 4 respondents believe that text-messages are a fast way to be reached for important service updates on purchases. Fewer than half felt the same way about emails on their phone (48%) or push notifications on their phone (32%).

Live+ 7 Day DVR TV Ratings (Week 28)
https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/5ae70c67-0512-4ca7-9242-17ae5b91e62a
So, what does all of this mean? It suggests that there is a lot of time shifting in viewing habits. Much of it has been chronicled as the Millennial Affect, that being this groups watches when they want to watch on whatever platform they want to watch it on.
However, what if we are actually living in a ‘New Viewing World’ set on a new standard for a group of people who have been affected by the Great Recession who found a new ‘Linus’ Blanket’ in watching inexpensive entertainment? It is the art of watching the most favored program first. In 2015/16 season, CBS has dominated the total viewers schedules. Thus, on a Tuesday, when ‘NCIS’ leads off the night, viewers in large numbers tune into that program. Anything up against it that is favored by the audience, is put into DVD mode for future viewing. This could be the explanation for popular programs such as ‘Blindspot’ delivering huge DVD playback delayed numbers. It is up against more immediately popular programs on Thursday. Thus if a person watches CBS’ ‘Criminal Minds’ LIVE, then ‘Blindspot’ is played later. Going to Monday evenings, in the ‘Monday Battle @ 10P’, there are three popular programs which battle on a regular basis. On CBS is ‘NCIS:Los Angeles’, usually the #1 show in its LIVE time period. On NBC, there is ‘Blindspot’. And on ABC, ‘Castle’ is the opponent. For one that likes all three programs, the audience is tuning into ‘NCIS:LA’ then DVDing ‘Blindspot’ and ‘Castle’. (Note: On this particular week, ‘Castle’ was on an unusually long hiatus, thus it does not show up.)
What does this mean for advertisers? If you are in retail, only buy the LIVE TV Ratings. Your sale on Saturday may not get to the viewer in time. Insist on only buying for the value you will receive, not what the total value of the station or network is. After all, we live in an age of direct engagement via digital/mobile.

2016 Peabody Award Winners For Entertainment and Children Categories (judges remarks listed below each winner)
“Beasts of No Nation” (Netflix)
Red Crown Productions, Participant Media, Come What May Productions, New Balloon
A superbly acted, strikingly photographed film about an African warlord training an orphan child to join his guerrilla army, it never loses sight of their humanity, brutal acts notwithstanding.
“black-ish” (ABC)
ABC Studios
A bright, boisterous, big-hearted comedy about an affluent African-American family working overtime to keep it real, “Black-ish” doesn’t let jokes get in the way of insights about race, class, guns and other hot-button topics that most popular entertainment shows scarcely mention.
“Deutschland 83” (SundanceTV)
Fremantle International/Kino Lorber
A suspenseful, well-acted spy drama that takes place a few years before the Soviet bloc cracked and told from the perspective of East Germans and West Germans, it reheats Cold War conflicts in surprising ways.
“Marvel’s Jessica Jones” (Netflix)
Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix
This one part superhero saga, one part neo-noir program asks unpopular questions about power and consent, while constructing vivid and compelling characters. Krysten Ritter helps us to discover the strengths and vulnerability of Jessica, a hard-boiled private detective who has rejected the role of superhero but must still figure out how to overcome the evil that threatens her, her friends and her community.
“Master of None” (Netflix)
Universal TV, Oh Brudder Productions, Alan Yang Productions, Fermulon
By turns profound and mundane, ridiculous and deadly serious, this imaginative, shape-shifting comedy chronicles the misadventures of Dev (series creator Aziz Ansari), a 30-year-old Indian-American who’s still trying to figure out what to do with his life. To say it resonates with young-adult viewers is an understatement.
“Mr. Robot” (USA Network)
Universal Cable Productions
A riddle wrapped in a mystery shrouded in a hoody, “Mr. Robot’s” hero, Elliot, is a tormented, anti-social cyber-security whiz caught up in techno-anarchy conspiracy. The series’ twisting, turning, Rubik plot is almost as startling as its overtly anti-corporate stance. Occupy Prime Time?
“The Leftovers” (HBO)
HBO Entertainment and Warner Bros Television in association with Damon Lindelof Productions and Film 44
After an inexplicable global cataclysm – a massive random harvest – thins Earth’s population by 140 million, the survivors in this challenging, deeply philosophical, boldly imagined drama are left to figure out how to get on with life in a world that’s stopped making sense.
“Transparent” (Amazon Video)
Amazon Studios
Jeffrey Tambor’s transsexual Maura is not just the lead character of this bold, honest dramedy, she’s the catalyst for her typically dysfunctional modern family’s ongoing reevaluation of itself. Its broadened scope and lively sense of self-awareness, along with irreverent wit and poignant moments, made “Transparent’s” second season even stronger than the first.
“UnREAL” (Lifetime)
A+E Studios
A spot-on, behind-the-scenes send-up of ersatz “reality” shows like “The Bachelor,” “UnREAL” makes viewers care about venal producers and petty contestants even as it skewers them.
“Wolf Hall” (PBS)
A Playground Entertainment and Company Pictures Production for BBC and MASTERPIECE in association with BBC Worldwide, Altus Media and Prescience
Based on Hilary Mantel’s celebrated novels about the intrigues of Henry VIII’s court, “Wolf Hall” is an intimate, humanized history, told from the viewpoint of the king’s main man, Thomas Cromwell. Enhanced by literate scripting and superb acting with historic-location and natural-light filming, this exceptional series sets a new standard for the genre.
“Katie Morag” (CBeebies)
Move on Up
Mairi Hedderwick’s popular books about a feisty, wee, red-headed girl (the splendid Cherry Campbell) and the Scottish island community she’s growing up in are exquisitely realized in this series. Timeless, perhaps old-fashioned, but never precious or blindly idyllic, “Katie Morag” deals honestly and gracefully with death, loss, rivalry and other serious themes.
‘Castle’ To Be Without Beckett If Season 9 Is A Go
Stana Katic’s contract has not been renewed by ABC while negotiations are ongoing with ‘Castle’ co-star, Nathan Fillion. The fate of Katic was in the mirror as last season’s disastrous arc featuring the two co-stars separated most of the season as it was the last by ‘Castle’ creator Andrew Marlowe, who left the series in a shamble as fans departed because the two were often seen at odds on the screen. Tamala Jones, who played medical examiner, Lanie Parish who was Kate Beckett’s close friend, contract was also not renewed.
