Nickelodeon will premiere a brand-new half-hour SpongeBob SquarePants special titled "SpongeBob Appreciation Day: Patchy’s Beach Bash!" in 2020! The network announced the sponge-tastic news today during its "SpongeBob Appreciation Day" panel at New York Comic Con 2019.

Update (12/19) - Nickelodeon will premiere "SpongeBob Appreciation Day: Patchy’s Beach Bash!" on Saturday, January 4, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. (ET/PT)!


In "SpongeBob Appreciation Day: Patchy’s Beach Bash!", SpongeBob’s biggest fans wash up on the island above Bikini Bottom to celebrate SpongeBob Appreciation Day! Hosted by Patchy with appearances by Meghan Trainor, Jon Heder, and Rob Riggle. It'll also count down fan-voted SpongeBob moments.

Update (10/9) - In a sponge-tastic interview with The Beat, SpongeBob producers Vincent Waller and Marc Ceccarelli spilled more info about the "SpongeBob Appreciation Day: Patchy’s Beach Bash!" special!:

The Beat: The Patchy the Pirate Special was announced at the panel. Can you talk a bit more about that?

Ceccarelli: That was something that they wanted to do for the 20th Anniversary. They wanted to do a clip show. The Patchy Special is going to be a clip show where he’s stranded on the island and he’s reenacting sequences from his favorite episodes—

Waller: —for whatever celebrity is stranded on the island and has to suffer the clip show with this slightly crazed pirate.

The Beat: So is this all in puppets?

Waller: It starts on land and then goes into the thing you actually want to see.

During the "SpongeBob Appreciation Day" panel at NYCC, the cast and crew celebrated the legacy of the show's late creator Stephen Hillenburg, who passed away last November, and talked about SpongeBob memes. Check out some highlights from Nick's "SpongeBob Appreciation Day" NYCC 2019 panel below!:




SpongeBob SquarePants, which was recently greenlit for a 13th season, has reigned as the number-one kids’ animated series on TV for the last 17 years, while generating a universe of beloved characters, pop culture catchphrases and memes, theatrical releases, consumer products, a Tony award-winning Broadway musical which is now touring North America and a global fan base. SpongeBob SquarePants is seen in more than 208 countries and territories, translated in 55+ languages, and averages more than 100 million total viewers every quarter. SpongeBob SquarePants is created by Stephen Hillenburg and produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, Calif.

Nickelodeon's is currently in the midst of the network's "Best Year Ever", a year-long global celebration of one of the most iconic TV series and characters ever created. The “Best Year Ever” launched with the premiere of “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout,” an original mixed live-action and animated special earlier this summer, and leads up to the Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies theatrical, The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge, coming May 2020.

NYCC ’19: SpongeBob SquarePants panel teases Patchy the Pirate special

Plus, a birthday celebration!

L-R: Vincent Waller, Marc Ceccarelli, Clancy Brown, Carolyn Lawrence, Bill Fagerbakke, Tom Kenny, Tara Bennett

As “The Best Year Ever” for SpongeBob SquarePants nears it end, the cast and crew of the Nickelodeon show including Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs) and Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy), along with co-executive producers Vincent Waller and Marc Ceccarelli assembled in the Hammerstein Ballroom during NYCC at a panel moderated by Tara Bennett of SyFy Wire.

L-R: Vincent Waller, Marc Ceccarelli, Clancy Brown, Carolyn Lawrence, Bill Fagerbakke, Tom Kenny, Tara Bennett
The SpongeBob panel began with the panelists answering 20 questions in honor of 20 years of the show that involved testing their knowledge of obscure show trivia such as the names of Sandy’s monkey bosses or how many times Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy have appeared (19 in case you were wondering).

Additionally, questions pertained to highlights of working on the cartoon. When asked about favorite gags, Waller is fond of a moment in the episode “Texas” episode when Sandy lassos Patrick and a mushroom cloud bursts in the background. Fagerbakke remembered delivering the line, “The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma,” and we see a carton of milk spilling.

When it comes to other actors in SpongeBob, Kenny praised Mary Jo Catlett, the voice of SpongeBob’s driving teacher Mrs. Puff, who just turned 81 and still an amazing performer at her age. Though younger fans are probably not well acquainted with the classic ’60s sitcom McHale’s Navy, they are probably more familiar with the show’s two leads Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway who voiced superhero parody characters Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy in the world of SpongeBob. Sadly, both comedic actors have passed away but Kenny fondly recalled how Conway and Borgnine remained friends since the end of McHale’s Navy and their camaraderie was present in every recording session.

SpongeBob’s “Best Year Ever” has been somewhat bittersweet with the passing of the cartoon’s creator Stephen Hillenburg. Ceccarelli actually attended CalArts with him and admitted that Hillenburg’s student short was without a doubt the best one in the class. Lawrence noted his quiet confidence and missed seeing his sweet smile whenever she saw him at Nickelodeon. A humble man, Hillenburg didn’t care about money both when he did and didn’t have it.

Asked about celebrities they wish could sing any SpongeBob song, Kenny envisioned Johnny Cash singing “Best Day Ever.” As for what episodes they would put in a time capsule for future generations to discover, Waller would choose “Mimic Madness.” If it was possible, Kenny would put the entire panel.

After a live reading of the episode “Suds” an upcoming half-hour special, SpongeBob Appreciation Day: Patchy’s Beach Bash!, was announced. Debuting next year, the special will see SpongeBob’s biggest fans wash up on the island above Bikini Bottom to celebrate SpongeBob Appreciation Day! Hosted by Patchy the Pirate (Tom Kenny), this beach bash features appearances by pop star Meghan Trainor, cult movie star Jon Heder and actor Rob Riggle, and counts down some of the greatest fan-voted SpongeBob moments ever.

During the fan Q&A, someone inquired if SpongeBob would ever get his boating license to which the panelists answered if that ever happened, the show would have officially jumped the shark.

Ask about their involvement in the SpongeBob Musical, Ceccarelli and Waller were the only ones on the panel who had any involvement and admitted up until dress rehearsal even Hillenburg had doubts. Tom Kenny however did co-write the song “Best Day Ever” with Andy Paley that was included in the musical and felt a tremendous honor. Waller and Fagerbakke said they actually cried during the musical with Kenny describing the SpongeBob Musical as a harmonic convergence of the human experience encapsulating laughter, tears, and the human endeavor.

The SpongeBob panel came to a close with a giant Patrick Star brought out in honor of Bill Fagerbakke’s birthday and everyone in the audience singing a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday” to the voice of everyone’s favorite starfish.

From The Beat:

NYCC ’19 Interview: SpongeBob producers talk 20 years of nautical nonsense

"It’s really easy to write humor for these characters because they’re deep and have so many facets to them."

The “Best Year Ever” for SpongeBob may have gotten off to a somewhat bittersweet start due to the tragic passing of creator Stephen Hillenburg almost a year ago, but the outpouring of love from fans worldwide cemented his legacy. With a Kamp Koral CGI animated spinoff announced as well as another season (not to mention a third movie), SpongeBob SquarePants isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. At NYCC, The Beat had the chance to sit down with SpongeBob co-executive producers Vincent Waller and Marc Ceccarelli and discuss the longevity of the show as well as a particularly unusual working experience with a guest actor on the show.

Taimur Dar: When did you start working on SpongeBob?

Vincent Waller: I was in Season 1 and Season 2, then split and came back on Season 4.

Marc Ceccarelli: I’ve been on it since Season 8.

Dar: How did you both end up taking on producer roles?

Waller: Stand in one place long enough and they put you in charge. We were both storyboard writers working on the show 13 years for me and 8 for you.

Dar: Any show that runs as long as SpongeBob is going to be completely different now than it was at the beginning. The Simpsons is a great example. How would you compare SpongeBob now to the first season?

Waller: The first couple of seasons were animated TV sized and on cell so they look different. Then from [Seasons] 4-9 it was digital so the cells were gone. They looked different. The models were locked down a little more which was a Steve [Hillenburg] thing to lock down the models and cut down on retakes. In the first three seasons there was a lot of animation movement and people flopping around. Having to constantly fix it was getting expense so they locked it down.

Then when we were away on the movie, it was a little less locked down because Steve looked at the expressions and said, “It’s funny!” And he started laughing and the rest is history.

Ceccarelli: I’d say the first few seasons had a kind of loosey-goosey kind of look to it because everything wasn’t really locked down yet. And you could see the individual artists’ hands. You could tell who had drawn that particular scene in the storyboard

Waller: The artists at that point were cleaning up their own board you could absolutely tell who did what show if you knew their art.

Ceccarelli: When we took over, we knew that the fans really liked those first few seasons a lot and we tried to figure out what were some of the things that they did in those seasons that made the show different than what it turned into over the years. And that sort of visual anarchy was something that we really liked and really appealed to us. So it’s something that we’ve really tried to bring back into the show. Sort of just that crazy no holds barred look of the show. And so now we’ve gotten back to a point where we can tell in the finished animation which storyboard artist did that particular sequence. We really like finding individual voices in the drawing end of the show. We like finding people who have a real ability to draw the characters in their own style while staying enough on model so there is enough uniqueness from scene to scene.

Waller: And an affinity for expressions. Show me an expression that I’ve never seen before for this particular emotion. And our crew has been really good at delivering that.

Dar: The Patchy the Pirate Special was announced at the panel. Can you talk a bit more about that?

Ceccarelli: That was something that they wanted to do for the 20th Anniversary. They wanted to do a clip show. The Patchy Special is going to be a clip show where he’s stranded on the island and he’s reenacting sequences from his favorite episodes—

Waller: —for whatever celebrity is stranded on the island and has to suffer the clip show with this slightly crazed pirate.

Dar: So is this all in puppets?

Waller: It starts on land and then goes into the thing you actually want to see.

Dar: I can’t help but be reminded of the ingenious ways The Simpsons handled their clip shows.

Ceccarelli: We’re doing a similar thing. We’re trying to find our own way into a clip show and make it as weird as possible.

Dar: What can you say about the 3rd SpongeBob movie?

Ceccarelli: We really don’t have as much to do with it because it’s being done over at Paramount. It’s so hard just to do all the things we’re doing on our show.

Waller: The last time Nickelodeon basically said, “We want to make a movie but you guys can’t stop production this time.” So we stayed put and they made a movie.

Dar: So do you keep the show fresh without jumping over the proverbial sharks?

Waller: Which we actually did intentionally in the “Shark vs. Pods” episode.

Ceccarelli: We get nervous when we see the same thing over and over again. We’re always our own biggest critics as far as trying to do new things. We’re always pushing ourselves. So it’s not that difficult to go in that direction if you want to see new stuff.

Waller: And we’re lucky enough to work on a show where they let us do that. SpongeBob does come up with cachets so as long as we’re doing things within the realm that they need it to be, we can get as wild as we can possibly get.

Dar: Tim Conway, the voice of Barnacle Boy, unfortunately passed away and Ernest Borgnine, Mermaid Man, a few years ago. Fans love those characters, so I’m curious if you plan to retire those characters are will they still be appearing?

Waller: They’ll still be in cameos but they won’t be speaking. We’re not talking to replace them. There was some talk about Ed Asner possibly doing it, but Steve didn’t want us to do that so we’re not going to. He did come up with the idea of SpongeBob and Patrick cosplaying and becoming their versions of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. You will be seeing them from time to time.

Ceccarelli: I like writing those episodes and keeping those characters’ memories alive and finding a new way to do it.

Waller: Who knew that Mr. Krabs was a secret comic book fan? We did!

Dar: There have been some big name guest stars on the show. Any particular favorites?

Ceccarelli: I loved Ed Asner. He played that old curmudgeon in “Whirly Brains.”

Waller: Before the day was out, I had my ass squeezed by Ed Asner! When you take a picture with Ed Asner, he will squeeze your ass right at the moment they take the picture! Thank you Ed, it was lovely!

[Laughter]

Dar: At the panel you mentioned that Hillenburg got to see the SpongeBob Musical before his passing, so I’m curious what were some of the last things he was involved in and saw?

Waller: I think the last episode he was at a [sound] mix for was “Pineapple RV.” I was very happy because he was laughing his ass off all the way through it. If we can get him to laugh then I know we’re sitting pretty!

Dar: Was he able to see the Birthday Special with the voice actors playing their respective characters in live-action?

Ceccarelli: No unfortunately, he didn’t get to see it but he knew that we were going to do that. He was really tickled by the idea.

Dar: You have Tom Kenny as the voice director on the series now. You previously had the amazing Andrea Romano as voice director so it’s clearly high caliber. Rob Paulsen is another veteran voice actor he’s stepped into the position of voice directing in Rise of the TMNT, so how did Kenny end up assuming the role?

Waller: We had Andrea on and off for awhile then it was just whoever was running the show. Sometimes I would direct. But coming up with the thought of getting Tom to direct was one of the best decisions we ever made. He comes in there and he’s he’s loaded for bear. He’s studied everybody’s parts, his parts he knows every little effort and thing that we’re going to need in the final product. And he’s just super focused and really good at it. .

Ceccarelli: He’s really funny too when he’s giving directions because he’s such a great improv comic. He’ll he’ll find the weirdest ways to pull a particular performance out of somebody. His. descriptions of the headspace that the character’s supposed to be in will often be funnier than anything that we’ve written. He came from stand-up. You can never turn that off. He’s just like. constantly improving even if it’s just for an audience of three people—us and the recording engineer.

Dar: So what’s next for SpongeBob?

Ceccarelli: We’re doing the spinoff Kamp Koral show which we’re having a blast writing. Putting the characters in this new location freed up the writers and they’ve come up with new ideas.

Waller: They’re not just in Bikini Bottom anymore. Suddenly we have this entire wilderness to play with and all the things that can inspire a story out of that.

Ceccarelli: It’s different dynamics with the characters because they’re a little younger.

Waller: But the comedy is not younger.

Ceccarelli: Yeah, it’s going to be for the same audience. In some ways it may be a bit more subversive because we’re doing the same kind of physical comedy with the younger kids.

Dar: Some animated shows like to have firm continuity while others play fast and loose with it. What’s your approach?

Waller: We play with it and then we mostly ignore it as far as canon and having a through story. The show you’re watching is what you should focus on and how it hooks up to that thing.

Ceccarelli: But we also do like to play with continuity and use that for humor. We pick and choose.

Dar: The running joke of the “My leg!” guy is a perfect example of that, which just had an episode devoted to that character finally giving him a name. How did that episode come about?

Ceccarelli: It was time. [Actor] Doug [Lawrence] is our head writer and that was his character that he’s had for years. Just recently we named the character and have been using him a lot more.

Waller: By that, he means the fans named him and we went, “That’s a good name for him. That’ll work!”

Ceccarelli: So once he had a name, we ended up using him more. That was how far we could push the “My leg” joke.

Waller: When we would do shows and veer away and follow characetrs like Fred we were encouraged to push the camera back to SpongeBob. But it’s been 20 years and everybody realizes that every character is popular. And people would like to follow characters like Patrick around and see what he does all day. [The episode] “Mall Girl Pearl” was the first episode where we literally had SpongeBob in the background and he’s shadowing Squidward.

Dar: Have you considered taking that further and doing an entire episode without SpongeBob?

Waller: I think everybody is ready for the other characters to have their moments in the sun.

Ceccarelli: It’s the SpongeBob show but it’s always been about this community in Bikini Bottom. The performers are so strong and the characters are written so well. There’s a lot of depth to each of the characters. It’s really easy to write humor for these characters because they’re deep and have so many facets to them.

Dar: Have you noticed any changes in the performances since the beginning?

Waller: We were just watching “Suds” and Clancy [Brown] barely sounds like a pirate. He sounds like Mr. Krabs but it’s not [imitates Mr. Krabs laugh]. When Tom started most of SpongeBob’s lines were almost whispery. Now he’s moved back.

Dar: Favorite episodes?

Ceccarelli: I’d have to say that my favorite is the stop-motion Halloween episode because I’ve always been such a huge fan of stop-motion. We were able to do both the Christmas and Halloween episode with Screen Novelties and they’re just amazing. What they bring to stop-motion is the animated their characters in a way that’s almost like 2D animation. There’s a lot of overshoots and squash and stretch with their characters which makes their 3D animation look like our 2D animation.

Waller: “Mimic Madness” has been my favorite since the 10th Season. But we’ve done so many since like “Plankton Paranoia” I just love.

Dar: Last question, what should fans look forward to in 2020 for SpongeBob?

Waller: Lots more great expressions from SpongeBob in 2D and of course the CG that’s come up. We’re going to see exactly where we can go with that.

Ceccarelli: There are a few more 22-minute specials coming up at the end of the 20th Anniversary celebration. Those are pretty special, cray episodes. One of the episodes has a lot of interesting musical moments. Another has a crazy sort of take on amusement parks and what’s underneath them.

Fox News recently caught up with some of the cast at the New York Comic-Con to talk about this milestone. Carolyn Lawrence voices Sandy Cheeks, Bill Fagerbakke plays Patrick Star and Clancy Brown stars as Mr. Krabs.

Fox News: Can you believe it's been 20 years for "SpongeBob SquarePants?"
Carolyn Lawrence: I cannot believe it's been 20 years. What the heck. Where did the time go? It happened so fast! It's so interesting because it went really really quickly... I don't know, I can't explain it.

Bob Fagerbakke: With a lot of different careers people might expect to have a job for 20 years. Not obviously with actors because we're basically shiftless carnies you know. To have something that long is extraordinary. And trust me, any actor that dreams of someday having a job for 20 years is probably not in the right profession.

Clancy Brown: We were just saying that it doesn't feel like 20 years. People always talk about the very first time we did it and it feels like we just did it. We're not keeping track. As a matter of fact, we're only in Season 13. So it's been 20 years but it's Season 13. I don't trust math. Math is not right. Twenty years — forget that — we just did it. It's just started.

Fox News: Do you remember when you landed the part?
Lawrence: Yeah but I had no idea. I mean I was always excited to book a job. But who knew? I mean who knew it would be so crazy? So that was a wild turn of events.

Fagerbakke: I can't say I remember that moment. I certainly remember when I met [animator] Stephen Hillenburg during the audition. I could tell immediately that he was an extraordinary person. And then when I knew I would get to work with him, of course, I was happy too because at the end of the day you know if you can do strong material and work with good people, you can't really ask for anything more.

Fox News: Do you remember when you realized how big "SpongeBob" had become?

Lawrence: I think when I saw products at Target I was like, "What the what the what?" (Laughter.) I've done so many things but never something that would be that mass-marketed in that way.

Fagerbakke: Well, there was this sea change I think it was probably in Season 2 when Wall Street Journal did an article about it and we think the New Yorker. And all of a sudden, we were getting all this press. So that was really exciting because you're kind of just like in your little soundstage and those little studios and you're doing your thing. And as far as you know there are just some kids watching it and the kids at the elementary school when I pick my kids up, they're very excited. And then boom!

Clancy Brown: We kind of stopped doing it after the third season. We all thought that was the end. And I think when they came back and said well you know what guys I think we want to record more. And they actually paid us a little bit more. And that's I think that's when I realized wait a minute, they would never pay us more if they weren't making a hell of a lot of money.

Fox News: Does "SpongeBob SquarePants" go down as one of the best cartoons of a generation?
Lawrence: I think so. I think it's going to go down in history. It's so hard to think about like it's so surreal honestly. That it's still hard for me too to grasp how large it is. When I travel and you go to other countries and it's there and people are talking about it and. It's amazing and so if I think about it too much my head explodes. But yes I think it will.

Fagerbakke: We all were influenced by great cartoons like Looney Tunes, like the Warner Brothers and Chuck Jones. I mean that animation had a lot of impact on us. And if we can be thought of as being a classic cartoon that's a wonderful thing and certainly not something I can speculate about. I just love my job.

Brown: It's the best cartoon ever made and It will be the best cartoon ever ever ever. Until the end of Earth.

Este diciembre Henry Danger regresa a Nickelodeon con un nuevo desafío

El sábado 7 de diciembre a las 12:00h el canal estrena Henry Danger: El Musical, un episodio especial compuesto por 16 canciones originales en donde todos los personajes cantarán al más puro estilo musical de Broadway. En esta ocasión, Kid Danger y Capitán Man se enfrentan al gran reto de salvar Buenavista después de que el villano Frankini lleve a la ciudad… ¡una maldición musical!

Este mes, Nickelodeon se llena de música y diversión con el estreno del episodio especial Henry Danger: El Musical en donde, un buen día, Buenavista se despierta con una noticia alarmante y es que: ¡el villano Frankini ha llevado una maldición musical a toda la ciudad! Rápidamente, la pandilla de amigos de la Man Cave empieza a preguntarse qué pueden hacer ante este problema, pero ni si quiera pueden pensar en ideas porque no pueden parar de cantar y bailar. Además, no son los únicos afectados por el hechizo ya que todos los habitantes de la ciudad tampoco pueden dejar de cantar, ¡cómo si se tratara de un musical al más puro estilo Broadway!

Así, Capitán Man y Kid Danger no dudan en entrar rápidamente en acción para tratar de solucionar este desastroso (¡y musical!) problema. Sin embargo, la maldición no será tan fácil de romper como ellos creen y se verán obligados a contar con un aliado no muy fiable para poder ayudarles a luchar en una épica batalla de canto contra el travieso Frankini. Pero, ¿conseguirán salvar a toda la ciudad?

ViacomCBS Announces Completion of the Merger of CBS and Viacom

Combination creates a leading, global premium content powerhouse

December 04, 2019 04:35 PM Eastern Standard Time


NEW YORK--ViacomCBS Inc. (Nasdaq: VIACA, VIAC) (“ViacomCBS”) today announced the completion of the merger between CBS Corporation and Viacom Inc. The combined company, which is renamed ViacomCBS, creates a premium content powerhouse with global scale, including leadership positions in markets across the U.S., Europe, Latin America and Asia.

“This is a historic moment that brings together two iconic companies to form one of the world’s most important content producers and providers,” said Bob Bakish, President and Chief Executive Officer of ViacomCBS. “Through the combination of CBS’s and Viacom’s complementary assets, capabilities and talented teams, ViacomCBS will create and deliver premium content for its own platforms and for others, while providing innovative solutions for advertisers and distributors globally. I am excited about the opportunity we have to serve our audiences, creative and commercial partners, and employees, while generating significant long-term value for our shareholders.”

Building on an extraordinary collection of culture-defining franchises and partnerships with creative talent around the world, ViacomCBS will be home to more than 140,000 premium TV episodes and 3,600 film titles, with global production capabilities and more than $13 billion in annual content investment. The company will account for 22% of TV viewership in the U.S. and hold the highest share of broadcast and cable viewing across key audience demographics, with strength in all categories, including News, Sports, General Entertainment, Pop Culture, Comedy, Music and Kids.

Through the strength and scale of these assets, ViacomCBS will be well-equipped to maximize the value of its content for its own platforms and for others, as it meets the growing global demand for third-party premium content. The company’s content scale will support a robust streaming strategy, including ViacomCBS’s own suite of advertising and subscription-based offerings. In addition, the company’s broad reach, extensive intellectual property portfolio and expertise in advanced marketing solutions will enable it to strengthen its partnerships with distributors and advertisers globally.


ViacomCBS Class A and Class B shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 5, 2019 under the ticker symbols “VIACA” and “VIAC”, respectively.

As previously announced, as a result of the merger, each Viacom Class A share and Viacom Class B share converted into 0.59625 of a Class A share and Class B share of ViacomCBS, respectively. Holders of CBS Class A shares and CBS Class B shares will continue to own their existing shares, which are now shares of ViacomCBS.

ViacomCBS will have an attractive growth outlook, be positioned to deliver beneficial cost and revenue synergies and generate substantial free cash flow. This will sustain significant investment in programming and innovation, as well as support ViacomCBS’s commitment to a modest dividend payment. ViacomCBS will also benefit from a strong balance sheet, solid investment grade rating and a board and management team that are focused on creating shareholder value.

From the ViacomCBS Newsroom:

BOB BAKISH: WELCOME TO VIACOMCBS

By Bob Bakish

"We have a rare and exciting opportunity to drive the future of our industry."

Thanks to the hard work of many, I’m thrilled to share that the merger of Viacom and CBS has closed, and ViacomCBS is now in business.

This is a historic moment, and it comes at exactly the right time. Demand has never been higher for content that engages, delights and informs. And that’s exactly what we deliver.

ViacomCBS brings together powerful consumer brands that have shaped media and entertainment since the dawn of the broadcast era. With this combination, we:

• Reunite CBS – America’s Most Watched Network – and Paramount Pictures, Hollywood’s longest-running film studio;

• Create a leading suite of pay-TV properties, including Showtime – a premium brand pushing the boundaries of storytelling – and iconic cable channels such as Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central and BET;

• Expand a sizeable international operating footprint driven by top broadcast networks, including Telefe in Argentina, Channel 5 in the U.K., Network 10 in Australia and Colors in India;

• Leverage a major force in consumer publishing in Simon & Schuster, along with growing businesses in live events, consumer products, recreation and other experiences; and

• Boast one of the most innovative digital and streaming portfolios in the marketplace, with premier subscription based and ad-supported products including CBS All Access and Pluto TV.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more diverse and compelling mix of assets – and this is just one piece of the company’s full portfolio.

What truly unites our brands and businesses is a shared passion for storytelling. You see it in our unmatched legacy of hit programming, from SpongeBob to 60 Minutes, Star Trek to South Park. We introduced audiences to Bobby Axelrod and Forrest Gump, Lucy Ricardo, Walter Cronkite and Dora the Explorer. We aired the very first Superbowl and pioneered the highest standards of broadcast journalism.

Now, we have a rare and exciting opportunity to drive the future of our industry as one of the largest and most influential content creators in the world.

But that’s not all. Commercially, ViacomCBS will be the most important partner in the media ecosystem. The company will deliver the largest share of the U.S. television audience and hold number-one positions in every demographic we serve, including total viewers 2+, kids, Adults 18-49 and 25-54, African Americans and Latinx viewers. This reach will extend across every viewing platform and price point, making us a cornerstone offering for distributors. Combine that with our leadership in advanced advertising and marketing solutions, and ViacomCBS will be the go-to choice for advertisers and agencies.

When it comes to production, we’ll be a global powerhouse, making premium content at scale for our own brands and third parties in every genre through our own best-in-class studios, including Paramount Television, CBS Television Studios and Awesomeness, among others. Plus, under the combined company, we’ll now own one of the largest and most valuable libraries of entertainment out there – an extensive collection of iconic franchises with over 140,000 TV episodes and 3,600 film titles.

Beyond these strengths, we’ll leverage a massive global operating footprint that connects with more than 4.3 billion subscribers across 45 languages in nearly every country in the world. This competitive advantage will allow us to further extend our brands and IP well beyond the screen and even further into experiential offerings.

In every respect, ViacomCBS will be better positioned to serve consumers, partners and shareholders. Looking at our complementary assets and capabilities, I truly believe this is a great fit. I also know we would have never achieved this milestone without the incredible dedication, focus and hard work of the people that drive our organizations forward. Thanks to our employees at CBS and Viacom and the amazing things they do every day, we are stronger now, more resilient and more prepared than ever.

To realize all the opportunities ahead – and overcome the challenges we will no doubt face – we are committed to uniting as one team while continuing to transform and evolve our business for the future. That’s why, in the coming months, you’ll be hearing more about our strategy for long-term growth as a combined company. With the leadership and talent across our teams, I have no doubt we will be able to deliver.

It’s an exciting road in front of us, and I can’t wait to get started.


From Screen:

ViacomCBS is born as merger finally closes

Amid question marks over how it will compete against media giants like Disney, Netflix and AT&T, the ViacomCBS merger finally closed on Wednesday (4) as the companies that Sumner Redstone split apart close to 14 years ago were reunited.

The new entity is valued at approximately $25bn and encompasses cable networks such as Showtime, Nickelodeon and MTV, Paramount Pictures, US broadcast networks CBS and the CW, as well Australia’s Network Ten, the UK’s Channel 5, Argentina’s Telefe, and a joint venture in India with that country’s TV18.

As Screen reported in August, ViacomCBS will house a streaming platform roster that includes CBS All Access, Showtime’s OTT offering, and ad-supported VOD service Pluto TV, which Viacom acquired for $340m earlier this year.

Despite Wall Street caution after shares in CBS and Viacom fell approximately 20% since the merger was announced in August, chair of the combined board Shari Redstone (pictured) remained understandably upbeat, telling reporters on Wednesday the new entity was scalable and would be a content leader. In past year the combined companies reportedly spent $13bn on content.

Bob Bakish is the new entity’s president and CEO, and Joe Ianniello becomes chairman and CEO of CBS.

Official trading of ViacomCBS begins on Thursday.

From Variety:

CBS and Viacom Complete Merger: ‘It’s Been a Long and Winding Road to Get Here’

CBS Corp. and Viacom are united once again.

The merger of the two halves of the Redstone family media empire into ViacomCBS was completed Wednesday, just four months after the boards of CBS and Viacom reached an agreement on an all stock-swap transaction. The combined company’s shares will begin trading Thursday on the NASDAQ index under the ticker symbols VIACA (for preferred shares largely held by the Redstones) and VIAC (for common shares).

The deal brings Viacom’s Paramount Pictures and cable channels such as MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and BET together with the CBS broadcast network, Showtime, 28 O&O TV stations, CBS All Access and Simon & Schuster. The combined company, lead by Viacom CEO Bob Bakish, will have annual revenue of about $28 billion.

“I can’t wait to get on with this,” Bakish told Variety on Tuesday. “It’s been a long and winding road to get here. It’s an incredible collection of assets.”

Getting the merger over the finish line is a victory for Shari Redstone, who is the controlling shareholder in CBS and Viacom through her National Amusements Inc. holding company. Redstone has long sought to reunite CBS and Viacom, which were brought together in 2000 by her father, Sumner Redstone. But Sumner Redstone decided to split them up again, as of January 2006, out of frustration with Viacom’s sagging stock price.

Shari Redstone will serve as chairman of ViacomCBS. That’s a capstone on her three-year quest to reshape her family’s media holdings after years of executive rivalries, fiefdoms and executive largess at the companies that are less vulnerable to shareholder pressure on performance because of NAI’s iron grip on about 80% of voting shares in both firms. Indeed, the merger process was able to close quickly because the Securities and Exchange Commission and other federal regulators already considered Viacom and CBS to be under the same roof.

The challenge for Bakish and Redstone this time around is to make ViacomCBS function as an integrated company — something that did not happen during the first merger. The CBS Corp. assets will have a dedicated leader in Joe Ianniello, who shifts from acting CEO to chairman-CEO of CBS, a structure that was mandated by the CBS Corp. board as part of the merger. That has raised questions about whether the companies will remain balkanized.

But the enlarged ViacomCBS will emerge to do battle in a much more treacherous competitive landscape than they faced two decades ago. Even in bolting the companies together, there are questions about whether ViacomCBS is big enough to do battle with the tech giants that are up-ending traditional media and entertainment.

CBS Corp. has also been battered by allegations that its corporate culture allowed harassment and discrimination to persist. The ouster of former CBS chairman-CEO Leslie Moonves in September 2018 amid allegations of past sexual misconduct set the stage for the CBS-Viacom reunion. Shari Redstone has frequently cited the importance of a healthy and vibrant creative culture within CBS and Viacom as one of her top governance priorities.

While the merger is now complete, the new company has work to do yet on Wall Street. CBS and Viacom shares have dropped about 19% and 24%, respectively, since the long-expected deal was confirmed on Aug. 13.

The company has promised to deliver at least $500 million in synergy savings within two years of the closing — a number that suggests that there will be inevitable layoffs as overlapping operations are eliminated. ViacomCBS expects to offer more financial guidance for the company after the release of the enlarged company’s first earnings report in February.

On the day before the deal closed, Bakish was nothing but bullish about the company’s ability to thrive amid the growing global demand for content and the increasing value to be mined from large film and TV libraries, which ViacomCBS has to the tune of 140,000 episodes of TV and more than 3,600 movie titles.

“We have an extraordinary opportunity to create value for a whole range of constituencies,” Bakish said. “We have a tremendous library and ongoing production that we can deliver for our owned platforms and third-party buyers. We are setting up the organization of the company to enable us to leverage every asset we have.”

Bakish also said he sees a silver lining in the stock swoon of the past few months. He has no doubt that the company will be able to execute on its growth strategies quickly enough to quiet the doubters.

“There’s a light at the end of the tunnel,” Bakish said. “The people who got in at this (low share) price are going to be happy campers.”

Viacom, CBS Shares Rise On Their Final Day As Long-Awaited Merger Takes Effect – Update

UPDATED with staff memo. Viacom and CBS shares perked up Wednesday, each rising more than 3% in their final day of trading as separate companies.

The media companies’ all-stock merger took effect after the closing bell. Shares in ViacomCBS will begin trading Thursday morning on the Nasdaq.

CBS stock closed at $40.68 on nearly triple its average trading volume. Viacom finished at $24.22 on six times normal volume.

The reunion of the companies — which operated under the same corporate tent from 2000 to 2006 — finally reached fruition after two previous rounds of formal merger talks collapsed. The merged company, whose market value will be about $25 billion, will be one-tenth of the size of Disney and Comcast, let alone tech giants with trillion-dollar valuations.

Despite that size differential, ViacomCBS chairman Shari Redstone has insisted the company has potent enough assets to make a strong go of it. “We absolutely have enough scale,” she said last month in an appearance at the Paley Center for Media in New York. “People make a mistake and they look at scale as being about market cap. Scale is not about market cap. Scale is about the ability to create the quality and quantity of content that people want to see. … We can compete with the best of them.”

In a press release minting the combination, CEO Bob Bakish called it a “historic moment that brings together two iconic companies.” The deal, he added, “will create and deliver premium content for its own platforms and for others, while providing innovative solutions for advertisers and distributors globally.” Bakish also hailed the deal in a memo to employees (read it below).

Investors don’t seem initially bullish, however, Wednesday’s uptick notwithstanding. Shares in CBS and Viacom have slumped nearly 14% since the merger was first announced in August, eroding billions in value. Rumblings persist that the merger is merely “phase one” of a multi-phase effort to heavy up. In the past, Viacom held discussions with much larger firms like Verizon and Amazon. The marketplace also has smaller potential targets, including Lionsgate (which held unrequited discussions last year with CBS about a deal for Starz).

Strategic questions abound. Collectively, CBS and Viacom capture 22% of all U.S. TV viewing and spend $13 billion on programming across CBS, Showtime, MTV, Nickelodeon and a host of other networks, plus Paramount Pictures. That’s a large beachhead, but the best path to profit from all that content remains less than entirely clear. At the same time new subscription streaming offerings like BET+ have launched and CBS All Access and Showtime have racked up millions of subscribers after four years in the market, Viacom’s Bakish has opted to license out Nickelodeon properties to Netflix and South Park to HBO Max, to cite two recent nine-figure deals.

“Seems like they’ve got to pick a lane,” offers analyst Rich Greenfield of LightShed Partners. “It doesn’t work to have a grab-bag strategy,” one high-level media executive told Deadline. “You only make headway when you focus.”

The leadership team of ViacomCBS has gradually fallen into place in recent months. Bakish, an international operations vet who took the helm of Viacom in late 2015 after its disastrous latter years under former CEO Philippe Dauman, has long had Redstone’s support to continue in the corner office.

Joe Ianiello, acting CEO of CBS, was poised to earn $100 million in severance upon the close of the deal. His 15-month contract to continue running CBS assets through 2021 will entitle him to millions more. At one point seen as a serious candidate for the top job, he has kept a steady hand on the CBS tiller in perhaps the most turbulent time in the company’s 92-year history. Les Moonves, for many years one the most powerful executives in the media business, fell from his perch after accusations of sexual assault and misconduct from more than a dozen women.

Here is the full staff memo from Bakish:

Team,

I’m thrilled to share that our merger is closed, and we are now operating as ViacomCBS.

This is a historic moment for us, and it’s come at exactly the right time in this quickly evolving media landscape. Demand has never been higher for what we do best: create and deliver culture-defining content and experiences.

ViacomCBS brings together powerful consumer brands that have shaped media and entertainment for decades. It reunites America’s most watched network and Hollywood’s longest-running film studio; a suite of leading broadcast and premium pay-TV channels from the U.S. to Australia; a major force in consumer publishing; and one of the most innovative digital and streaming portfolios in the marketplace.

Our shared passion for storytelling is one reason why I believe our companies are a great fit. You see it in our incredible legacy of hit programming, from SpongeBob to 60 Minutes, Star Trek to South Park. We introduced audiences to Bobby Axelrod and Forrest Gump, Lucy Ricardo and Dora the Explorer. We aired the very first Super Bowl and have produced some of the most groundbreaking journalism since the dawn of the broadcast era. And now, we have a rare and exciting opportunity to drive the future of our industry as one of the largest and most influential content creators in the world.

Commercially, we will be the most important partner in the media ecosystem. We’ll deliver the largest share of the U.S. television audience and hold number-one positions in every demographic we serve. Our reach will extend across every platform and every price point – including ad-supported and subscription-based streaming services – making us a cornerstone offering for distributors. The combination of our audience reach with our leadership in advanced advertising and marketing solutions will make us the go-to choice for advertisers and agencies.

In production, we’ll be a global powerhouse, making premium content at scale in every genre through our own award-winning film and television studios. And we now have one of the most valuable libraries of entertainment out there – an extensive collection of iconic franchises with over 140,000 TV episodes and 3,600 film titles.

Beyond these complementary assets, we’ll leverage a massive global operating footprint that connects with more than 4.3 billion subscribers across 45 languages in nearly every country in the world. This competitive advantage will allow us to further extend our brands and IP well beyond the screen and even further into live events, consumer products, recreation and experiences.

In every respect, as ViacomCBS, we’ll be better positioned to serve audiences and our partners. But this is the beginning of our journey – not the destination. To realize all of the opportunities ahead, we need to continue the important work of becoming one company and one team while continuing to position our businesses even more strongly for the future. That’s why, in the coming months, you’ll be hearing more from me and the senior leadership team about our strategy for growth as a combined company.

Very importantly, we will also need to come together around a common mission and set of values that define our culture at ViacomCBS. These efforts, too, are underway, and we’ll be sharing more details with you soon.

Yes, this will all take a lot of hard work – and we’ll need to challenge ourselves to operate more nimbly, creatively and collaboratively – but with the leadership, talent and determination we bring collectively across our teams, I have no doubt we will deliver.

In the meantime, I know you have questions about the future and what’s next. Tomorrow, December 5 – now at 12:00pm ET – we’ll hold our first Bob Live employee townhall. Joining me will be Shari Redstone, Chair of ViacomCBS, for a conversation now moderated by Norah O’Donnell of CBS Evening News. We’ll be speaking about our vision for ViacomCBS, discussing next steps for the integration of our companies and answering any questions you may have. We really hope you’ll join us in person or online.

In the meantime, check out http://www.viacbs.com and follow @ViacomCBS on social platforms to stay updated on all the great work that’s happening across our company.

We’ve taken a big step forward, and it’s all thanks to you. I can’t wait for us to get started, and I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow about our exciting road ahead.

Best,

Bob

Employees to grill Viacom-CBS execs on merger ‘synergies’ as long-awaited deal closes

Viacom execs to address employees ahead of merger, possible layoffs: Gasparino

When Shari Redstone, Bob Bakish and Joe Ianniello hold their live town hall meeting Thursday afternoon, it will be spun as a festive affair; the three top honchos of the now officially combined Viacom-CBS will tout the benefits of the merger and how the new company will take on the world of broadcasting.

But many of the company’s roughly 27,000 employees are in anything but a festive mood these days. At issue: A promise to Wall Street that the new management will squeeze a whopping $500 million in what has been described as “synergies” out of the merger, which is a Wall Street way of saying layoffs are coming, according to people with direct knowledge of the company’s plans.

How many people will get the ax is anyone’s guess at least for the near term, but layoffs are most definitely in the future for the newly merged company if management is to meet the lofty cost-cutting expectations it has set for itself and start boosting the new company’s share price, these people add.

Company spokesmen declined to comment for this story.

Several things about the new company have been well telegraphed. When the merger becomes official after the markets close on Wednesday, the new company will be known as ViacomCBS Inc., trading under the stock symbol VIAC. Redstone, the head of the controlling shareholder National Amusements Inc., has long fought for the combination the two outfits that were purchased, then separated in 2006 into separately traded entities by her father, the ailing media mogul Sumner Redstone.

Shari Redstone will retain the title of chairwoman, a clear indication of who is ultimately in charge of the $25 billion media empire that boasts some of the most popular news, major sports and entertainment programming in America. Viacom controls broadcast staples such as MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and movie studio Paramount Pictures.

Her longtime associate, Viacom chief Bakish, will oversee the day-to-day operations as chief executive officer and hold a seat on the new company’s board of directors. Bakish will lead the town hall at Viacom’s midtown Manhattan headquarters, and make a presentation described as a celebration of the deal’s merits before an unscripted question-and-answer session, FOX Business has learned. Bakish’s appointment as CEO was clearly a nod to his support for Redstone’s vision of merging the two outfits even amid stiff opposition from CBS’ former CEO Les Moonves and his management team that mounted a court battle to prevent the move.

Moonves, of course, was ousted from the network amid sexual misconduct allegations in September 2018. Moonves’ longtime associate Ianniello headed CBS after the departure and will remain as chairman and CEO of CBS in order to facilitate the merger.

Unlike Bakish, Ianniello will have no board seat and will report to Bakish in the company’s new management structure. But he might have something better than management control in the form of money, and lots of it. In exchange for staying with the company for management continuity, Ianniello will receive a $100 million mostly cash severance that will be paid upon the deal’s close, and then tens of millions of dollars more over the next 15 months.

After the deal was announced in August, management also provided some broad strokes about how it plans to compete in the increasingly difficult and fragmented media business. It has vowed to find ways to monetize its varied programming by transforming the company into a content producer that both sells to and competes with other big players such as Disney and Netflix.

Bakish is also telling analysts that he will develop a more comprehensive streaming strategy to deliver programming through so-called over-the-top vehicles that circumvent traditional cable-distribution packages as consumers increasingly “cut-the-cord” and ditch their cable subscriptions.

What is less known is exactly how management is expected to achieve all these goals, particularly on the cost-savings side. Management has been mum about the exact size of the potential layoffs, other than to confirm they are likely to begin sometime after the deal closes. The information vacuum has put many employees on edge, particularly as management is tasked with squeezing costs out of every department of the company in the coming year, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.

The CBS side of the company could be in for the most turmoil since under Moonves it was largely shielded from major cost-cutting efforts, a person close to the new company tells FOX Business. Though Bakish will be the executive leading the town hall, all executives may answer questions from employees, and they are aware that they might be queried about the pending job cuts, these people add.

Another question that might come up is the future of the new company. Specifically, can a $25 billion broadcasting content company survive when the media landscape is being dominated by massive conglomerates? By comparison, AT&T with its WarnerMedia subsidiary has a market value of $279 billion while Amazon, the online retailer that’s expanding into broadcast content has a market capitalization approaching $1 trillion.

Senior executives inside ViacomCBS have made no secret that they would like to expand the company sometime after the merger by making smaller, strategic acquisitions such as the content library of the old Miramax film studio. But they also concede that after squeezing out cost savings and improving share price; both companies’ stocks have floundered post-merger announcement despite rising Wednesday as the deal neared its closing date.

They also concede the next step for Redstone and Bakish may be to sell ViacomCBS to one of those bigger players.

In terms of a sale, “nothing is happening at least for a while,” said another person close to management at the new company.

From TheWrap:

CBS and Viacom Close Their Merger

Two companies back under one roof for the first time since 2006

CBS and Viacom are finally, really, back to together. Less than four months after announcing their intentions to rejoin as one company, the companies closed their merger on Wednesday, beginning the new ViacomCBS era.

The merger took effect following the closing bell on Wednesday. ViacomCBS Inc. will begin trading on the Nasdaq on Thursday under ticker symbols VIACA and VIAC. The move puts the CBS broadcast network, Viacom’s stable of cable channels like MTV and Nickelodeon, and the Paramount film and TV studio under one roof.

The two companies agreed in August to an all-stock deal that valued Viacom at roughly $12 billion. CBS shareholders will own approximately 61% and Viacom shareholders will own approximately 39% of the new company. In making the announcement, ViacomCBS touted an annual revenue of $28 billion.

Bob Bakish will be president and chief executive officer of the combined company, which has been moving executives in, out and around in preparation for the recombination. Joe Ianniello, who had been serving as acting president and CEO since late 2018, will be chairman and CEO of CBS, putting him in charge of all CBS-branded assets.

“This is a historic moment that brings together two iconic companies to form one of the world’s most important content producers and providers,” said Bakish. “Through the combination of CBS’s and Viacom’s complementary assets, capabilities and talented teams, ViacomCBS will create and deliver premium content for its own platforms and for others, while providing innovative solutions for advertisers and distributors globally. I am excited about the opportunity we have to serve our audiences, creative and commercial partners, and employees, while generating significant long-term value for our shareholders.”

Shari Redstone, president of National Amusements Inc., which is the controlling stakeholder for both companies, will serve as chairman of the board of ViacomCBS. The 13-person board will consist of six members from CBS board, four from Viacom and two from National Amusements. Bakish, as CEO of ViacomCBS, will be on the board as well.

Kent Alterman, longtime head of Comedy Central, will be exiting as part of recent leadership changes. His network will be overseen by Chris McCarthy, who will become president of entertainment and youth brands, adding TV Land, Paramount Network and Smithsonian Channel to his portfolio. McCarthy already oversees MTV, VH1, CMT and Logo and will report to Bakish.

Viacom Media Networks COO Sarah Levy is also leaving.

CBS chief creative officer David Nevins will oversee Viacom’s BET Networks in addition to CBS and Showtime, Viacom and CBS said on Monday. Marc DeBevoise, CEO of CBS Interactive, will oversee digital operations for both CBS and Viacom. CBS Television Studios and Paramount Television will continue to operate independently after the merger closes in early December.

Additionally, Nickelodeon President Brian Robbins will add Awesomeness to his oversight. Robbins cofounded the multi-platform media company back in 2012.

Jo Ann Ross will oversee ad sales at ViacomCBS.

The combined entity is projecting $500 million in synergy savings within two years through the elimination of overlapping corporate operations and other savings.

The media industry is in a far different place since the last time CBS and Viacom were corporate siblings 13 years ago.

The industry has become all about scale. Disney finished off its $71.3 billion acquisition of Fox’s TV and film assets in March, and last year AT&T acquired Time Warner, and turned into WarnerMedia, aligning its entertainment assets — HBO, Turner, Warner Bros. — closer together. Earlier this year Viacom bought the ad-supported free streaming service Pluto TV, which has shown early success with monthly active users increasing 50% since December and reaching 18 million users in August.

Tech giants like Netflix and, to a lesser extent, Amazon, have upended the entertainment industry, luring in high priced talent and taking advantage of shifting consumer behavior that has moved away from live television. Last month, both Apple and Disney launched their own direct-to-consumer offerings, with WarnerMedia and Comcast coming next spring. But ViacomCBS is taking a different route, believing it can be both a buyer and a seller.

The two companies split from each other in 2006. CBS and Viacom walked away from a merger last year amid a legal tug of war between former CEO Leslie Moonves and Redstone, who has long had her eye on reuniting the two companies but had received pushback over Viacom’s poor performance.

It’s been a long time coming for the two former-sister companies to get back together.

Bob Bakish Gives First Hints of How Viacom and CBS Will Work Together

CBS’ longtime Black Rock headquarters to be sold

Newly-minted ViacomCBS CEO Bob Bakish spent much of his time Monday during the UBS Global TMT Summit in New York discussing how the two formerly-separate companies will work together.

For starters, James Corden’s “Late Late Show” on CBS will get next-day replays on Comedy Central and Viacom networks like MTV will air ancillary programming during the Grammys, which annually air on CBS.

CBS All Access is getting an infusion of programming from Viacom networks, with Bakish specifically citing Nickelodeon, while Paramount films will air on Showtime. CBS also launched three new branded channels on Pluto TV, the free, ad-supporting streaming service Viacom acquired earlier this year.

First announced in August, the merger between Viacom and CBS took effect after the closing bell on Dec. 4, with ViacomCBS Inc. will beginning trading on the Nasdaq the next morning under ticker symbols VIACA and VIAC. The move puts the CBS broadcast network, Viacom’s stable of cable channels like MTV and Nickelodeon, and the Paramount film and TV studio all under one roof.

But with ViacomCBS far smaller than its bulked-up competitors like WarnerMedia and Disney, many industry analysts have wondered whether or not ViacomCBS is in the process of acquiring assets. “We don’t see any asset on the market or coming to the market in the near term that we have to own,” Bakish said, before hedging a bit: “That being said, will we look? Of course, we will look.”

In the near term, ViacomCBS will look to unload some of its more ancillary assets, namely CBS Corp.’s longtime New York City headquarters, known as “Black Rock.”

On the advertising side, CBS announced Monday morning it has joined OpenAP, an advanced advertising coalition that aims to sell ads using non-Nielsen metrics. It was founded in 2017, with Viacom as a founding member. When it comes to next spring’s upfront marketplace, Bakish said a combined ViacomCBS will go to the upfronts combining linear reach with its advance marketing solutions and will announce special advertising packages soon.

From Variety:

ViacomCBS Will Explore Sale of Black Rock CBS Headquarters

ViacomCBS will explore the sale of the famous Black Rock building, which has served as the headquarters of CBS since the mid 1960s.

Bob Bakish, CEO of the company, which was created last week from the merger of CBS Corp. and Viacom Inc., said the newly combined entertainment conglomerate would explore the sale of sundry real-estate holdings and potentially use those proceeds to buy back company stock. As part of that effort, Bakish said, ViacomCBS would look to sell the Black Rock building, perched on Avenue of the Americas and West 52nd Street in New York.

Bakish, speaking to investors at a conference held by UBS, said the new company viewed some of its real-estate holdings as “non-core.”

The building, designed by Eero Saarien, an architect known for his futuristic style, opened in 1965, and Frank Stanton, the legendary CBS president, was intimately involved in its plans.

Bakish unveiled the plans as Wall Street has proven resistant to shares in the new company, seeking new signs of growth from a concern that includes CBS, Showtime, the Paramount movie studio and the Nickelodeon kids-cable empire. During his remarks, Bakish also articulated plans to boost ViacomCBS’ entry into the industry’s so-called “streaming wars,” by making content from the company’s cable networks available to the subscription-based “CBS All Access” and CBS broadcast assets available via the free streaming-video outlet Pluto. And he said the company would start to present new kinds of advertising packages to Madison Avenue.

Real estate has served some media companies well in recent times. Fox Corporation has sought to leverage its ownership of its 1.8 million square feet of building space that housed the fabled 20th Century Fox film studio. And CBS Corp. last year sold its venerable Television City production facility in a bid to raise funds it could subsequently invest in making more content for streaming-video audiences.

At the same time, real estate is often seen as something to leverage when other sources of income are not as stable. Newspaper companies, which have been under stress as advertisers move money from print advertising to digital promotion, have often found themselves consolidating or selling real-estate holdings as a means of generating cash for business operations.

From New York Post:

ViacomCBS to sell legendary ‘Black Rock’ headquarters

Five days after the merger of CBS and Viacom closed, the combined ViacomCBS has decided to sell CBS’ famed New York headquarters known as “Black Rock.”

The black granite skyscraper, located at 51 West 52nd St. just steps from New York’s Museum of Modern Art, has served as CBS’ headquarters since it was completed in 1964.

The sale comes as the newly combined company, which owns Showtime, Nickelodeon, MTV and Paramount Studios, seeks to reduce fat in an effort to help it compete in the age of Netflix.

“Black Rock is not an asset we need to own and we believe that money would be put to better use elsewhere,” said ViacomCBS Chief Executive Officer Bob Bakish at the UBS Global TMT Summit in New York Monday.

ViacomCBS has hired the real estate investment firm CBRE Group to evaluate its entire roster of real estate holdings, including studios and the 36-story Black Rock building, Bakish said.

Aside from CBS, the Eero Saarinen building is home to brokerage firm Charles Schwab and the Nusr-Et Steakhouse, run by the flamboyant Turkish chef known as Salt Bae.

The only CBS employees at Black Rock work in its corporate and administrative divisions, as staffers for its news and sports units occupy studio space and offices on West 57th Street, blocks from the Hudson River. The digital business, CBS Interactive, is based in a mid-rise building on 28th Street near Madison Square Park.

Viacom’s corporate headquarters is just a few blocks away from CBS’ headquarters, at 44th Street and Broadway in the heart of Times Square.

In the coming months, top brass at both companies are expected to start reducing overlap in administrative and back-office positions to make good on promises leading up to the ViacomCBS merger that a marriage would lead to $500 million in cost savings.

From Media Play News:

ViacomCBS Dealing with OTT Video Largesse

Until this year, Viacom had scant over-the-top video product — Noggin, a $7.99 monthly service targeting young children with Nickelodeon-type fare.

Viacom in March acquired ad-supported VOD service Pluto TV for $340 million. This summer the media giant launched BET Plus — a $9.99 service targeting African-American streamers.

Following the re-merger with CBS Corp., Viacom inherited CBS All Access ($5.99), Showtime OTT ($10.99) and Smithsonian Channel Plus ($4.99) SVOD. In the process, Viacom has myriad OTT distribution while at the same time giving mixed signals about a unified ViacomCBS vision digital leadership going forward.

Speaking Dec. 9 with CNBC’s David Farber, Bob Bakish, CEO of ViacomCBS, was asked about the fact that Marc DeBevoise, CEO of CBS Interactive, reports to him for the all digital assets. And to Joe Ianniello, CEO of CBS, for CBS Interactive.

“That doesn’t sound like an efficient way to go about trying to extract synergies and the growth,” Faber asked Bakish.

The CEO claimed Viacom’s digital properties operated successfully under separate silos before the merger. A reality the merged companies could rejigger going forward.

Bakish agreed that working together on paper is different than in practice. He alluded to Viacom International originally operating independently and now as a multinational unit. Bakish added that when he became CEO in 2016 (replacing Philippe Dauman), Paramount Pictures operated independently, as did the company’s media networks.

“We took the last three years and really aligned that,” Bakish said.

He said ViacomCBS is putting forward an integrated company with one strategy. He said the revised blueprint would include paid and ad-supported content — with the widest access based on paid content.

“Today, in pay, [we’ve] got 10 million subs in SVOD in the U.S.,” Bakish said. “In free, [we’ve] got 20 million [monthly average users] at Pluto. We’ve got almost 200 million digital users. And we reached well over a billion through our broader business.”

He disagreed with the assertion that a high percentage of Viacom’s digital subs are promotional, rather than paying.

“That’s flat out wrong,” said the CEO, while declining to disclose actual digital revenue. Backish said the data would be revealed in 2020.

“You should expect some additional transparency in the streaming space,” he said. Viacom has heretofore just released Pluto viewership.

“You should expect that to broaden,” Bakish said. “We absolutely are going to operate as one ViacomCBS.”

Why ViacomCBS Is Not Diving Headfirst Into the Streaming Era

Soon-to-be-merged company sees itself as both a buyer and a seller

Like all media companies, ViacomCBS wants to take advantage of the new streaming era. But while Disney and WarnerMedia are pooling all their assets into one, big-top streaming service, ViacomCBS wants to be both a buyer and a seller.

Viacom has shown in the last few months a willingness to make revenue-generating deals on its library of content rather than hoard those rights for its own internal streaming services. “I think it is a smart strategy, as there is growing demand for premium content and ViacomCBS has the ability to sell shows with high awareness into the market, especially as others self-license their content,” MoffetNathanson analyst Michael Nathanson, told TheWrap.

Just this week, Viacom’s Nickelodeon announced a multiyear output deal for films and TV series with Netflix. Thursday morning, Viacom announced that Netflix bought the rights from Paramount to develop a fourth “Beverly Hills Cop” film, with Eddie Murphy attached. And last month, the company sold the exclusive streaming rights to Comedy Central’s “South Park” to HBO Max in a deal worth at least $500 million.

“Demand for content from third parties is incredible. And the combination of our assets and capabilities – with the fact that some of our competitors are pulling back – makes this sector an enormous opportunity,” Bob Bakish said during the company’s earnings call Thursday morning. He noted that between Viacom and CBS, they have 750 series that are either ordered or in production, on top of a library that includes 140,000 episodes and 3,600 films. “I strongly believe this level of volume is sufficient to supply our needs and third parties, so why not access the revenue, income and cash flow in deals.”

Bakish believes their level of production and development volume can feed both their needs and those of third parties. They also have or will have the “financial resources” to support it — esp. after the merger

While Disney+ got off to a strong start by getting more than 10 million sign-ups on Day 1, Disney is forgoing $150 million in licensing revenue next year, and doesn’t expect to turn a profit until 2024. Not only that, but Disney is sinking $1 billion into Disney+ on content alone next year, and will double that by 2024. WarnerMedia will be spending about $4 billion on HBO Max content by 2025.

It’s a similar gamble that WarnerMedia, with HBO Max, and NBCUniversal, with Peacock are taking: Each of them is hoarding their own content for themselves. Bakish believes that ViacomCBS is primed to take advantage of that.

When Viacom and CBS complete their merger early next month, the company will have some five different, although smaller, streaming services. Those will be led by CBS All Access and Showtime OTT, which have about 8 million subscribers (projected to be 25 million by 2022) between the two of them — while they don’t break those numbers out individually, executives have said it’s close to an even split between the two of them. There is also the free, ad-supported PlutoTV and smaller services like kids-focused Noggin and BET+, which launched in October.

CBS has propped up All Access with a massive catalog of TV shows including “I Love Lucy” and “Fraser,” along with original programming like “Star Trek: Discovery” and Jordan Peele’s “Twilight Zone” reboot. Viacom features a stable of cable networks like MTV and Nickelodeon, along with the Paramount film and TV library. Rolling all of that, including Showtime, into one big streaming offering has the ability to transform All Access into a potential streaming powerhouse.

But Bakish believes that would be leaving money on the table. The next few years will a massive sea-change in the industry and, if nothing else, ViacomCBS offers a new wrinkle for the streaming era.

From The Bookseller:

Reidy looks to 'exciting' 2020 following CBS merger

Simon & Schuster president and c.e.o. Carolyn Reidy has hailed the publisher's "expanded opportunities" following the recent CBS Viacom merger.

In her end-of-year letter to staff, Reidy described how the merger of S&S' parent company, CBS, with US mass-media conglomerate Viacom earlier this month, led to expanded opportunities for the publisher.

"It gives me great pleasure to note that as we close out another successful year at Simon & Schuster, we are also marking an exciting beginning in which we have been reunited with world-class brands and content from such stellar media properties as MTV, Nickelodeon, BET, Comedy Central and Paramount Pictures as part of the new, larger and more powerful global media company, ViacomCBS," she said.

Reidy also reaffirmed the publisher’s "focus on publishing books for diverse audiences" and revealed continued audio growth.

In a nod to the importance of diversity and inclusion, she said: “At a Town Hall meeting in September I mentioned our focus on publishing books for diverse audiences, and I couldn’t be prouder of the work being done by all of our publishers to assure that we are serving a readership that reflects the diversity of our world.”

Publication highlights across non-fiction included “the magnificent relaunch of The Joy of Cooking, the "relaunch" as an author of Howard Stern with Howard Stern Comes Again, David McCullough’s The Pioneers and Mark Levin’s Unfreedom of the Press. In fiction, Reidy picked out Stephen King’s The Institute as “his best performing title of recent years” with Jennifer Weiner’s Mrs Everything; and Vince Flynn and Kyle Mills’ Lethal Agent, English author Ruth Ware’s The Turn of the Key and Nelson DeMille and Alex DeMille’s The Deserter “delivered the thrills that their readers have come to expect”.

She also discussed the continued boom in audiobooks. “It was another year of substantial growth in our audio division, which continued its exceptional work creating world-class productions, made all the more impressive this year as we were operating without the benefit of our in-house studio.”

In regards to new ventures, she described how 2019 "was also a year in which many of the projects and initiatives previously undertaken came to fruition, with an especial tip of the hat to home-grown publishing imprints". She said: "New imprint Avid Reader Press launched in July with the much-buzzed-about publication of Three Women by Lisa Taddeo, an immediate number one bestseller [and also a bestseller in the UK where it was published by Bloomsbury]. Tiller Press also published its first books in July, bringing its data-driven methodology to an eclectic list of timely titles, and will expand its title count dramatically in 2020. One Signal Publishers, in our Atria Publishing Group, released its first group of socially important, topical works, and in children’s the acclaimed author and publisher Denene Millner is bringing her eponymous imprint to Simon & Schuster, with the first titles to be published in spring 2020."

The c.e.o. picked out some of the bestsellers across S&S’ publishing across the globe, citing Chris Carter’s thriller Hunting Evil as a hit, alongside historical novelist Philippa Gregory’s Tidelands, "a new series and also a top bestseller, proved once again that she is a master of historical fiction". Reidy also revealed that other bestsellers included S&S UK’s first publication with Nicci French as well as Jonathan Van Ness’ Over the Top.

From Bloomberg Big Law Business:

New Legal Group Begins to Take Shape at ViacomCBS

Christa D’Alimonte, Viacom’s former general counsel, heads the combined company’s law department

Henry Moniz is compliance chief at ViacomCBS, which has named a half-dozen lawyers for new roles

ViacomCBS Inc. has tapped Henry Moniz as compliance chief, the latest in a series of top legal appointments by the newly-minted media giant, according to an internal memo viewed by Bloomberg Law.

The appointment follows the closure earlier this month of a mega-merger between Viacom Inc. and CBS Corp. The deal, which yielded advisory roles for at least a half-dozen law firms, reunited CBS and Viacom under the Redstone family’s ownership after 13 years apart. The transaction also created the need for new reporting lines and titles in the combined company’s legal and compliance departments.

Two sources familiar with the inner workings at ViacomCBS said that the first round of in-house appointments came within the past week and that more will be announced early next year.

Moniz, the new executive vice president and chief compliance officer at ViacomCBS, is a former Bingham McCutchen partner who joined Viacom in 2004 and most recently led its compliance function. Moniz will report as compliance chief to ViacomCBS president and CEO Robert Bakish, and as chief audit executive to Barbara Byrne, chair of the audit committee for the combined company’s board of directors.

Former Shearman & Sterling partner Christa D’Alimonte, who replaced Michael Fricklas as Viacom’s general counsel in 2017, is now executive vice president, general counsel, and corporate secretary for the combined company, a leadership section on ViacomCBS’ new website shows. D’Alimonte, a former deputy leader of the M&A practice at Shearman, which advised Viacom on its recent reunion with CBS, first served as a deputy general counsel at Viacom after joining the company in 2012.

New Lawyer Lineup

ViacomCBS disclosed in a securities filing last week that Jonathan Anschell, an executive vice president, deputy general counsel, and corporate secretary at CBS since early 2016, has the new role of executive vice president and general counsel of ViacomCBS Media Networks. A source briefed on the promotion said Anschell’s position will see him oversee legal matters for all of ViacomCBS’ cable networks, which include BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Showtime, TV Land, and VH1.

Laura Franco, a veteran CBS in-house lawyer who took over as general counsel following the March 1 departure of predecessor Lawrence Tu, will remain an executive vice president and general counsel for CBS-branded businesses, three sources familiar with the in-house changes at ViacomCBS said. Franco and Anschell, as divisional law department leaders, don’t appear on ViacomCBS’ top leadership page.

Other recent appointments include Michelena Hallie, who has spent more than 25 years at Viacom in New York, becoming a senior vice president and deputy general counsel for privacy and risk management at ViacomCBS. Naomi Waltman, who also spent more than two decades in a variety of in-house legal roles at both Viacom and CBS, is now an executive vice president and associate general counsel for litigation at ViacomCBS in New York.

Veronica Jordan will also continue to serve as general counsel for Simon & Schuster Inc. Jordan, who initially joined the New York-based book publisher owned by CBS in 1995, was promoted to Simon & Schuster’s general counsel role in March to succeed Hazel-Ann Mayers when the latter returned to CBS to serve as an executive vice president and chief business ethics and compliance officer.

Amy Dow, who joined Viacom’s MTV unit in 2008, is now a Los Angeles-based senior vice president and associate general counsel for labor and employment law at ViacomCBS. Rebecca Prentice will also continue to serve as executive vice president and general counsel for Paramount Pictures Corp., the film studio in Hollywood, Calif., which had been owned by Viacom.

Other C-Suite Moves
More lawyers have also recently joined ViacomCBS in positions outside of its legal and compliance departments. The company announced in November its hire of executive vice president and chief people officer Nancy Phillips, who began her career as an attorney.

Phillips, most recently chief human resources officer at Nielsen Holdings plc, appears on ViacomCBS’ senior leadership page along with Marva Smalls, the company’s new global head of inclusion and executive vice president of public affairs for its Nickelodeon kids brand. Smalls, who isn’t a lawyer but headed diversity efforts at Viacom, will reportedly replace the retiring Josie Thomas, a New York lawyer who spent 30 years at CBS in a variety of roles, most recently as chief diversity and inclusion officer.

Another lawyer listed as part of the new C-suite at ViacomCBS is Doretha “DeDe” Lea, a former global government affairs chief at Viacom now serving as an executive vice president for global public policy and government relations at the combined company. Lea will also report to Bakish and take over a role once held by veteran CBS lobbying John Orlando, who will leave the combined company, according to an October report by trade publication Broadcasting & Cable.

The new board of directors at ViacomCBS includes several lawyers, among them nonexecutive chairman Shari Redstone, the daughter of billionaire Harvard Law School graduate Sumner Redstone.

Other attorneys on the ViacomCBS board include Hughes Hubbard & Reed senior partner Candace Beinecke, Hueston Hennigan partner Robert Klieger, former Sony Corp. general counsel Nicole Seligman, as well as New York Law School graduate and Infor Inc. CEO Charles Phillips Jr. Hughes Hubbard advised CBS on its $11.7 billion merger with Viacom, while Klieger took over Sumner Redstone’s former board seat at CBS two years ago after representing the Redstones in their bid to oust former Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman.

Klieger’s board role will see him represent the interests of the Redstone family and National Amusements Inc., a Norwood, Mass.-based movie theater chain that owns a controlling 79 percent stake in ViacomCBS, according to Bloomberg data.

From AdAge:

COST OF NFL IN-GAME ADS JUMPS 15 PERCENT AS RATINGS HIT A THREE-YEAR HIGH: SPORTS MEDIA BRIEF

It's the NFL's world—the rest of us just live in it

You get what you pay for
Two years ago at about this time, a host of self-proclaimed experts (and a whole lot of people who probably should have known better) were falling all over themselves in their haste to toss a spadeful of dirt onto the lid of the NFL’s casket. TV ratings were plummeting, the president was racking up cheap style points from his base with his anti-NFL tweets and blowhards of all stripes stormed the Nielsen burial plot with shovels aloft.

If the events of the 2018 season snatched the spades from the mitts of more than a few uninformed ghouls, this year’s campaign effectively sent them howling from the boneyard. With two weeks to go before the playoffs begin, the NFL’s national and regional TV windows are averaging 16.7 million viewers and a 9.6 household rating, up 6 percent versus the analogous period a year ago and a lift of 11 percent compared to the same span in 2017.

The swing of the pendulum coincides with an ongoing collapse in primetime entertainment deliveries that has left the networks knee-deep in make-good obligations. Through the first 12 weeks of the 2019-20 broadcast season, only 11 scripted series are averaging a 1.0 or better in the adults 18-49 demo; a year ago at this time there were 31. The fall’s top-rated newcomer is currently eking out a 0.8 in the dollar demo, which adds up to a whole lot of nothing when compared to the 6.1 rating served up by “Sunday Night Football.” (In other words, the biggest freshman series is attracting a little north of 1 million adults 18-49 per episode, whereas NBC’s NFL showcase is averaging 7.9 million advertiser-coveted viewers.)

If the networks aren’t getting much help from their general-entertainment lineups, the NFL’s return to glory has taken some of the sting out of the fall ADU cycle. In what amounts to an all-or-nothing marketplace, NFL rights holders can name their own price. Unburdened by make-goods, NBC, CBS and Fox are nicely positioned to make the most of the current boom, as is evident in the significant pricing increases they’ve negotiated for inventory in their respective NFL broadcast packages.

According to Standard Media Index data, in-game unit costs in October NFL broadcasts jumped 15 percent compared to the year-ago period, with advertisers forking over an average rate of $419,045 for 30 seconds of airtime. That’s up from $363,016 in October 2018. Fox has wrangled the highest rate increases, upping the cost of a half-minute spot in its Sunday afternoon NFL broadcasts 20 percent to $462,213 a pop. SMI’s Fox estimates blend the network’s regional coverage and its national showcase, which kicks off at 4:20 p.m. ET.

Fox aired two “America’s Game of the Week” broadcasts in October, and while SMI does not break out the pricing for the national windows, media buyers estimated that the typical 30-second spot in the Oct. 6 Packers-Cowboys game fetched north of $650,000. One late scatter buy made just a few days before the kickoff is said to have cost nearly $875,000.

Fox’s rate hike is predictable enough, given how it’s been faring since the NFL’s 100th season began back in September. Per Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, the network’s Sunday broadcasts collectively are averaging 19.3 million viewers, up 7 percent versus the year-ago period, while the national window is up 11 percent to 24.6 million. This marks Fox’s best NFL showing since 2016.

But Fox isn’t the only NFL media partner that’s been making a killing on Sundays. NBC’s average unit cost for its in-game “Sunday Night Football” inventory is up 12 percent to $566,469, while CBS’s NFL rates have jumped 11 percent to $368,896. As is the case with Fox, SMI does not carve out the pricing for CBS’s own national TV window, but buyers confirmed that the network’s 4:20 p.m. rates climbed steadily throughout the season.

A scatter unit in CBS’s Dec. 8 Chiefs-Patriots broadcast is said to have commanded nearly $900,000, and despite the nosebleed rate, the client spent wisely. The rematch of the AFC Championship Game scared up 28.1 million viewers and a 16.1 HH rating, making it CBS’s highest-rated regular-season broadcast since 2015.

While its cable-distribution scheme doesn’t allow it the reach of the broadcast networks, ESPN in October also boosted its NFL rates. Per SMI, the cost of a 30-second in-game unit in “Monday Night Football” worked out to $261,926 a pop, up 4 percent compared to the analogous period in 2018.

The only NFL partner to endure a decrease in its in-game ad rates was NFL Network. In October, the in-house cable outlet aired a lone Sunday-morning London skirmish—the Panthers-Bucs game averaged just 3.1 million viewers and a 1.9 rating—which saw its average unit cost slide 10 percent to $95,857 per :30. By comparison, NFL Net a year ago put together a far more intriguing U.K. matchup with its Eagles-Jags pairing, a meeting between the defending Super Bowl champs and a Jacksonville team that had missed out on a trip to the Big Game by a margin of four measly points.

SMI aggregates its data directly from the billing systems of a group of media agencies that accounts for as much as 95 percent of all U.S. ad spending.

Bob’s your uncle
That the NFL’s ratings are soaring just as the league is beginning to lay the groundwork for its next round of media rights contracts is lost on absolutely no one in the TV business. Even if a Google or Amazon should drive a couple of overstuffed Brinks trucks to the league’s Park Ave. headquarters, the reach of traditional TV should help the legacy broadcasters hold their ground against any incursion from one or more of the deep-pocketed digital upstarts.

Speaking last week at the UBS Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, ViacomCBS CEO Bob Bakish told investors that he was encouraged by his recent meetings with NFL personnel and franchise owners. “CBS has a long-standing, highly productive partnership with the NFL,” Bakish said, adding that the network’s production expertise should give it a leg up over the untutored FAANG set. “[The NFL] has a great deal of faith in CBS in terms of its ability to deliver a super-high-quality product. … This is a complicated production—you know, live sports, multiple cameras, all that—and CBS is the best in the business. And [that’s] not easy to replicate.”

Bakish said that he believes the merger of the cable and broadcast units will only improve CBS’s chances at re-upping with the NFL before the current contract expires at the end of the 2022 season. Without going into details about how synergies between the Viacom nets and CBS might play out—as Janet Jackson can attest, some cross-cultural corporate mashups aren’t all they’re cracked up to be—Bakish suggested that MTV, Nickelodeon and the like could help bring younger viewers into the fold.

According to Nielsen estimates, adults 18-34 currently make up 16 percent of the primetime NFL audience, while viewers from 2 to 17 years of age account for 7 percent of the TV turnout.

Bakish concluded his NFL spiel by saying that CBS is bullish about how it will fare in what promises to be a highly competitive auction. “I feel very good about our position, if you will, going into it,” he said, before predicting that a deal “probably gets done way sooner than 2023.” Well, yes. Once the NFL has hashed out a new collective-bargaining agreement with the players’ union, a development that is expected to happen shortly after the confetti snow angels are swept up following Super Bowl LIV, there’s little reason to suspect that the rights negotiations won’t follow suit.

That said, Bakish’s summation of Where Things Stand was marred by a rather glaring oversight, as the ViacomCBS boss failed to vocalize the four syllables that serve as the best argument for a CBS renewal: 1) Sean. 2) Mc. 3) Man. 4) Us.

“So I got that going for me, which is nice”
Speaking of sports media rights, there’s big doings on the duffer front. According to Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand, CBS and NBC have “agreed on the broad terms of new deals that will see the PGA Tour reap a sizable rights fee increase of around 60 percent,” which would boost the tour’s TV haul from around $400 million per year to some $700 million. The Tour also has agreed to terms with the NBCUniversal-owned Golf Channel, which means that WarnerMedia won’t be rebranding truTV a 24-hour golf outlet.

From Russia with Dope
When they’re not trying to subvert our democracy or hacking the servers at NATO-member embassies, the Russians like drinking debilitating volumes of vodka, banging on about Pushkin and cheating. Given the россияне propensity for bending the rules, it came as little surprise last week when the World Anti-Doping Agency announced it had issued a comprehensive ban that will prevent Russia from participating in any global sporting events for the next four years. In the near term, the WADA ruling will push Russian athletes out of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing and the 2022 FIFA World Cup Finals in Qatar.

Upon hearing the news, Horizon Media decided to try and draw a bead on how stateside sports fans viewed the ban and if the absence of Russian athletes would in any way impact their Olympics consumption. According to Horizon’s latest “Finger on the Pulse” poll, Ivan’s ouster is unlikely to materially affect NBC’s ratings, as 86 percent of respondents said “their viewership would stay the same for the 2020 Olympics.” (Russia’s absence from the next men’s World Cup elicited a similarly-pitched shrug, with 87 percent of people surveyed saying that it wouldn’t impact their viewing.)

As the Horizon research team concluded, “advertisers associated with these events need not worry that fewer eyeballs will be on them.” Given that the Olympic rivalry between the U.S. and C.C.C.P. ended in 1991 when something Glasnost something Gorby, it’s not surprising that Russia’s disappearing act isn’t putting a whole bunch of sports nuts into sleep debt. In terms of medal count, Great Britain—or whatever we’ll be calling it now that the barbarians have won the day—and China are the Americans’ toughest adversaries, and even in those cases, it’s unlikely that any sort of perceived antagonism is a primary driver of Olympics ratings.

Worth noting: Horizon researchers did not reach out to Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky, a.k.a Krusty the Clown, an entertainer and entrepreneur who very likely has some strong opinions about Russia-free Olympics.

Like drawing a handlebar mustache on the Mona Lisa
Yankees fans are hopping mad about Major League Baseball’s new sponsorship deal with Nike, as pinstripe loyalists charge that the addition of the Swoosh to the front of the canonical jerseys is an affront to God and Lou Gehrig and our fiery drunken king, Billy Martin. Leave such shameless bill-boarding to the likes of the tawdry D’backs and Rays, is the thinking, a sentiment fortified by the fact that the Bronx Bombers have long been able to fight off the encroachment of dopey uni overhauls and the sort of rude third-party branding that have left less-storied teams playing their games at the Pants.org Pavilion or Mrs. Butterworth’s Field or wherever in front of an audience of 400 sleepy drifters.

But for a few minor style tweaks, the Yankees unis have gone unchanged since Babe Ruth came over from the Red Sox. No shorts-and-nightmarishly-elongated-collars for the most successful professional sports team in the United States! No late-'90s sleeveless abominations or McDonaldLand Dumpster Dive get-ups for the 27-time world champs!

All goes onward and outward, and everything collapses. This is a miscarriage of taste and decency and a bone in the throat for all reasonable people. George Steinbrenner is spinning in his grave like a rotisserie chicken.

You’re all that’s left to hold onto
The Athletic’s Richard Deitsch gives subscribers a behind-the-scenes look at everything that goes into CBS’s national NFL broadcasts. The story starts off with a fantastic teaser (“Everyone should get to hear Jim Nantz tell a Dunkin’ attendant, ‘We’ll have a 25-count Munchkin’ at least once in life.”) and never slows down from there. No surprise that Deitsch zeroes in on the donuts thing; as any student of the stealthily weird Jim Nantz will tell you, there is nothing more delightful than the man’s obsession with the proper preparation of junk food.

Bonus fun: In order to get their vocal cords limber, Nantz and Tony Romo before the opening kickoff will sing U2’s “Red Hill Mining Town,” a ballad about the goons at the British National Coal Board that somehow sounds like the sort of swoony love song you hear while fumbling with the corsage on Prom Night.

Dětskou televizi Nicktoons zařadila z velkých hráčů prozatím pouze UPC, další jsou v jednání

Tematická stanice je k dispozici pouze ve standardním rozlišení obrazu. Jejím cílem je vyplnit věkovou mezeru mezi dětskými televizemi Nick Jr. a Nickelodeon.

Dětskou televizi Nicktoons zařadila do nabídky z největších telekomunikačních hráčů na trhu prozatím pouze firma UPC Česká republika, která ji zařadila také do internetové služby Horizon Go, v průběhu listopadu se má program objevit i v nabídce T-Mobile TV.

From MediaGuru:

Viacom rozšiřuje v Česku dětské televize o Nicktoons

Animovaný dětský kanál Nicktoons začne v Česku vysílat od začátku listopadu.

Viacom, společnost provozující vysílání kanálů Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Prima Comedy Central a MTV, spouští v Česku nový televizní kanál pro děti. Jmenuje se Nicktoons a zaměřuje se na animované pořady. Určen je dětem ve věku 6-14 let. Jeho program má být kompletně předabován do češtiny.

Jako první budou mít přístup k novému placenému kanálu zákazníci UPC Česká republika, a to od 1. listopadu. V průběhu měsíce se pak Nicktoons objeví i v nabídce T-Mobile a dalších placených televizních operátorů.

Provozovatelem stanice Nicktoons je společnost Nickelodeon, pod kterou patří i stejnojmenný dětský kanál.

„Nicktoons doplňuje nabídku dětského obsahu od Viacomu,“ říká Gábor Harsányi, viceprezident a generální manažer Viacom International Media Networks pro střední a východní Evropu a Izrael.„Nový kanál vyplňuje mezeru mezi Nick Jr., který nabízí zábavný a interaktivní obsah pro předškoláky, a Nickelodeonem, který přináší animované a hrané seriály populární mezi teenagery.

Drake Bell and Josh Peck Have 'Discussed the Possibility' of a 'Drake & Josh' Revival

$

The singer opens up about the possibility of reuniting with his longtime friend on-screen


Update (12/19) - A Nickelodeon source has reportedly revealed to unCrazed that a Drake & Josh reboot “is happening,” and the original cast will return for the Nickelodeon series.

According to Nick source, “scripts are drafted and the cast is heading for the table in 2020,” — in other words, a table read to review the scripts is slated for early 2020. The original cast are reported to be returning, including Drake Bell and Josh Peck, Miranda Cosgrove, Nancy Sullivan and Jonathan Goldstein with special guest appearances from Yvette Brown and Jerry Trainor.

The cast has open schedules for next year, with the source suggesting the start of production will be around “April, give or take,” and could see a Christmas 2020 release that allows the show to roll into 2021. unCrazed have also told cast-mates are being told by execs to “confirm nor deny” development of a reboot, “but either way, it’s happening.”

It's currently unknown whether show creator Dan Schneider will be part of the revival. The Schneider parted ways with Nickelodeon in March 2018 leaving the future of multiple shows with uncertainty. Schneider, before his departure, focussed on new projects and had the drive for new content creation, over rebooting old projects. A Nick source tells revealed that the 53-year-old feared the digital age would impact his career as a television producer, a business he became part of in 1984.

If Drake & Josh is revived, it's also unknown how the revival will be: it could be a TV movie, a series or a reunion of a series such as All That (similar to the upcoming Zoey 101 reunion). It's also unknown whether it'll air on Nickelodeon or on Netflix, as part of Nickelodeon's recent content partnership with the streamer.

Please note that this information has yet to be confirmed by Nickelodeon or any of the show's cast.

Original post (continued...)

Drake Bell and Josh Peck are ready to reunite on screen — but not in the way fans might expect.

Bell stopped by People Now on Monday and opened up about the possibility of a Drake & Josh revival.

“Josh [Peck] has come up with a really cool idea — we’ve been talking,” he said. “So many things have to come together and actually happen to make that a reality.”

But while the “Fuego Lento” singer said there’s still a lot of details to be discussed among the pair, a reboot is “a lot closer than it’s ever been.”

“At least it’s on the table,” he said. “Now we’ve at least discussed the possibility of something happening.”

Drake & Josh originally aired on Nickelodeon from 2004-07. The sitcom starred Bell and Peck as stepbrothers navigating their new sibling relationship while trying to survive high school.


So what would an updated version of the hit sitcom look like? Bell said the new project wouldn’t just be an older version of their original characters.

“[We] want it to be something creative,” he explained. “It can’t be Drake and Josh in college. … It has to be something a little different, turn it on its head a little bit.”

Bell previously told PEOPLE that he’s excited about the prospect to work alongside Peck again.

“We’ve known each other for so long, and it really is once in a lifetime in this industry that you get to work with somebody and it clicks like that,” he said. “He’s just got an amazing comedic wit and incredible timing and he’s really smart and we really get along. So I think that it just kind of all goes together.”

Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Share Secrets of The Sewer, Ninja Tactics and Teamwork at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta

Turtle Power! Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™ Share Secrets of the Sewer, Ninja Tactics and Teamwork at Children’s Museum of Atlanta

Limited-time exhibits opens Jan. 18 – May 10, 2020

Atlanta, Georgia – After more than three decades of battling evil and exemplifying teamwork, the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) will appear in an exhibit for children and families to enjoy at Children’s Museum of Atlanta. The four funny “heroes in a half shell” will share life lessons and team-building skills with their crime-fighting tactics in Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Secrets of the Sewer™ opening Jan. 18, 2020 in Atlanta.

In the exhibit, families will be transported to the underground home of the crime-fighting heroes to see what really happens in their secret hideaway. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brothers Leonardo (the tactical, courageous leader in blue), Michelangelo (the free-spirited jokester in orange), Raphael (the aggressive tough guy in red) and Donatello (the scientist and technological genius in purple) invite families to their New York City sewer lair to train together and learn about the Turtles’ comedic, skillful strategies.

“Children and families will be transported when exploring this larger-than-life exhibit,” said Jane Turner, executive director of Children’s Museum of Atlanta. “Little ones will have the opportunity to learn about the value of team work and togetherness as they discover how each member of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles plays a pivotal role in the group’s accomplishments.”


The Turtles are known and respected for their teamwork. As the TMNT’s sensei and adoptive father Splinter often tells them, “Together there is nothing you cannot accomplish.” Through team-building challenges, collaborative games and mind-teasing puzzles, families and friends will learn skills to help them successfully work together. A few examples include:

• Building a “bridge” together and thinking creatively as a team to overcome challenges.

• Pizza Shooter Arcade: Using a ninja-powered pizza shooter, families will work together to load, then pull back and fling pizza disks at arcade style targets in the windows of a NYC apartment block. Successful shots will trigger bells or other sound effects.

• Back Alley Rope Maze: Families will work together to navigate a rope maze without triggering alarms. It takes dexterity, skill, and assistance from other team members to get everyone through the maze by planning ahead.

• Mikey’s Pizza Grabbing Game: Mikey had an awesome idea – what if we combine fun, pizza and lightning-quick ninja speed?? This competitive dexterity-based reaction time game will encourage family team members to go head to head and test their reflexes, as they follow patterned lights and sound effects.

• Sewer Pipe Assembly: A free-form construction activity using sewer pipes (PVC) to build shapes, arches, or tunnels to add to the Lair. Families can create a sewer pipe together and see where it goes.

The Turtles took the comic book world by storm in 1984—and since then Donnie, Raph, Leo and Mikey have brought Turtle Power to cartoons, movies, video games and toys!

Children and families across the nation will have the opportunity to explore Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Secrets of the Sewer™ as it travels to children’s museums and science centers coast to coast.

This exhibit was produced by The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis and Nickelodeon.


The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis' first-ever interactive exhibit featuring the adorable puppy heroes of Nickelodeon and Spin Master's PAW Patrol is slated to visit the The Children’s Museum of Atlanta during Fall 2022.

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is a nonprofit institution committed to creating extraordinary family learning experiences across the arts, sciences and humanities that have the power to transform the lives of children and families.

NewBe and Splendid Film, in collaboration with Nickelodeon Benelux, have announced the release one of the world's first-ever theatrical movie about slime!


Titled De Grote Slijmfilm, the movie will star Slime Queen Bibi in the lead role. Slime Queen Bibi is a popular actor who is well-known for her cheerful sketches and DIY slime making videos on YouTube.

Nickelodeon has been synonymous with slime since the number-one entertainment brand for kids introduced the green semi-viscous substance to kids in the 1980's, and Slime is the ultimate symbol of free-spirited mess and the physical embodiment of Nickelodeon's unconventional spirit.

In recent years, slime has become one of the hottest trends with kids around the world, with many videos on YouTube teaching children how to make their own slime. De Grote Slijmfilm will be first time a Dutch movie dedicated to the global slime trend. The adventurous family film is all about friendship, cheerfulness, creativity and slime - a lot of slime!

De Grote Slijmfilm will be released in Dutch cinemas on Wednesday 5th February 2020.

In De Grote Slijmfilm, Indy (Bibi) and her BFF Olivia (Rómeycia Valentine), like all children around the world, love slime! On international slime day they participate in a competition to make the most original slime. The only one who hates slime is Dominicus Duff (Géza Weisz), the country's biggest toy boss. He no longer sells any of his own toys because of slime's popularity, so he wants to ban and confiscate all the slime in the world. Will Indy and Olivia be able to save slime?

In addition to Bibi's leading role, De Grote Slijmfilm will also star: Géza Weisz (Wiplala, Alleen Maar Nette Mensen), YouTube star Djamila (Misfit 2), Vincent Visser (Brugklas, GTST) and Sarah Nauta (Elvy’s Wereld: So Ibiza!)

The winner of the Youth News Competition 2019, Rómeycia Valentijn, has taken on her very first acting job with her role in the film. Ferdi Stofmeel (De Regels van Floor), Tina de Bruin (Dokter Tinus, Het geheime dagboek van Hendrik Groen), Edson de Graça, comedian and presenter Willem Wever, Belgium actor Tine Embrechts, Belgium presenter Sarah Mouhamou and Nickelodeon star Kate Bensdorp (Evie in Hunter Street) will also feature in the movie.

De Grote Slijmfilm is directed by Hans Somers (Hart Beat, De Ludwigs, Hunter Street) and produced by NewBe in collaboration with Nickelodeon. Splendid Film will handle distribution in the Benelux region.

Via het YouTube en Instagram-kanaal ​De Grote Slijmfilm​ is exclusief beeldmateriaal te vinden en kan iedereen op de hoogte blijven van de film. De Grote Slijmfilm draait vanaf woensdag 5 februari in de Nederlandse bioscopen, de Belgische bioscopen volgen later in februari.

Exclusive footage from De Grote Slijmfilm and well as news and updates from the movie can be found on the film's official YouTube channel and Instagram page.

De Grote Slijmfilm will be screened in Dutch cinemas from Wednesday 5th February 2019, with a release in Belgian cinemas following later in the month.

Below is Nickelodeon Nederlands official Press Release announcing the awe-slime news:

Eerste bioscoopfilm over slijm

18/11/2019

De Grote Slijmfilm
Vanaf 5 februari in de bioscoop

Vandaag hebben NewBe en Splendid Film in samenwerking met Nickelodeon bekendgemaakt dat er een nieuwe film over slijm wordt uitgebracht, namelijk De Grote Slijmfilm. De hoofdrol wordt vertolkt door Slime Queen Bibi, die bekend is als actrice en van haar vrolijke sketches en vele DIY- en slijmvideo’s op YouTube. Al jaren is slijm een begrip onder kinderen en via YouTube is een wereldwijde trend ontstaan waarbij kinderen zelf slijm maken. Dit is voor het eerst dat een Nederlandse bioscoopfilm inspeelt op de internationale slijmtrend. De avontuurlijke familiefilm staat in het teken van vriendschap, vrolijkheid, creativiteit en slijm, heel veel slijm! De Grote Slijmfilm is vanaf 5 februari is te zien in de Nederlandse bioscopen.

In De Grote Slijmfilm zijn Indy (Bibi) en haar BFF Olivia (Rómeycia Valentijn) zijn net als alle kinderen over de hele wereld gek op slijm! Op internationale slijmdag doen ze mee met een wedstrijd om het meest originele slijm te maken. De enige die een enorme hekel heeft aan slijm is Dominicus Duff (Géza Weisz), de grootste speelgoedbaas van het land. Door slijm verkoopt hij zijn eigen speelgoed niet meer en daarom wil hij al het slijm in de wereld verbieden en in beslag nemen. Lukt het Indy en Olivia om slijm te redden?

Naast de hoofdrol voor Bibi zijn andere rollen in de film weggelegd voor Géza Weisz (Wiplala, Alleen Maar Nette Mensen), YouTube-ster Djamila (Misfit 2), Vincent Visser (Brugklas, GTST) en Sarah Nauta (Elvy’s Wereld: So Ibiza!). De winnares van de Jeugdjournaalwedstrijd 2019 Rómeycia Valentijn heeft met haar rol in de film haar allereerste acteerklus te pakken. Ook Ferdi Stofmeel (De Regels van Floor), Tina de Bruin (Dokter Tinus, Het geheime dagboek van Hendrik Groen), Edson de Graça, comedian en presentator van Willem Wever, de Belgische actrice Tine Embrechts, Belgische presentatrice Sarah Mouhamou en Nickelodeon-actrice Kate Bensdorp spelen in de film.
