- Friday, May 10, 2:18 PM The Television Consumer Freedom Act backlash: 1) The bill introduced by Sen. John McCain is getting lots of attention from the cable industry, uniting big cable giants such as Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable (TWC) with smaller regional cable companies. 2) Beyond just attempting to force a la carte cable pricing, the legislation also seeks to bar broadcasters from converting to cable networks to avoid tech upstarts like Aereo. 3) The icing on the cake might be what McCain wants to do with sports. The bill calls for banning sports blackouts (bad for DirecTV's (DTV) Sunday Ticket?) and would create havoc with new "super" conferences that are banking on big cable revenue for bundled access (bad for Time Warner (TWX) and New Corp (NWS)?) 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, May 10, 9:00 AM NBC is out with an announcement on the five new shows it will debut in the fall with a bigger focus on comedy sitcoms. The network has two sure-fire hits on its schedule with NFL football and The Voice, but desperately needs more support from other shows after it flopped to fifth place in the network ranking late last year. The ranking slump didn't go unnoticed by parent company Comcast (CMCSA) which as of March owns all of NBCUniversal. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 9, 3:05 PM Senator John McCain officially introduces the Television Consumer Freedom Act of 2013 in Congress in a milestone for the movement toward "a la carte" cable market pricing for consumers. On the floor of the Senate, McCain singled out Comcast's (CMCSA -0.9%) NBC and Disney's (DIS +1.1%) ESPN-ABC family of channels as examples of media concerns forcing consumers to pay for bundled channels they don't want. Analysts think the combined heft of the broadcasting industry stands a good chance of keeping McCain's bill spinning in place. (full bill) 9 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 9, 8:04 AM Senator John McCain will introduce legislation shortly to overhaul the TV business by giving consumers the option to buy channels on an individual basis (a la carte) - instead of seeing only large bundles as options. The politician will face fierce resistance from broadcast (NWS, DIS, CMCSA, CBS, AMCX, SNI, OUTD, DISCA, VIAB) and cable companies (CVC, CHTR, TWC) but may have a friend in upstart Aereo which has been rankling a few feathers as well.

- Tuesday, May 7, 9:19 PM Marissa Mayer (YHOO) held a preliminary talk with Hulu (DIS, CMCSA, NWS) execs about a bid for the video site, "numerous sources" tell Kara Swisher. Amazon (AMZN), Guggenheim Partners, and ex-News Corp. COO Peter Chermin (previous) are also said to be weighing bids. Yahoo was one of the companies offering to buy Hulu back in 2011, and with the French government having thwarted its Dailymotion bid, Hulu and its 4M+ premium subs might not be a bad backup plan. But much likely depends on the content rights Hulu's risk-averse old media owners are willing to give. 1 Comment [Tech, M&A, Consumer]
- Monday, May 6, 1:48 PM The future of advertising is online video instead of the traditional 30-second TV spot, according to an interesting take from BTIG's Rich Greenfield. The analyst points to the effective ads on YouTube and Hulu from a number of high-profile companies, while the increasing use of DVRs is also a game changer. Though the broadcast industry (NWS, CMCSA, CBS) still pushes back over the claims, it's hard to argue that those still watching TV on the big screen in real times aren't more easily distracted than in the past with all the gadgets at their sides while ads sail by.

- Monday, May 6, 7:23 AM NBCUniversal's (CMCSA) USA Network will invest in new programs as it continues to feel the ratings pressure from rivals. Execs say they will tread carefully not to disrupt revenue channels after the network toppled the $1B mark in profits for the first time in 2012, but see situation comedy and reality shows as a way to stay relevant with younger audiences. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, May 3, 10:49 AM The major broadcast networks aren't giving up the summer months to cable rivals (and Netflix?) this year and plan to keep a fresh slate of programming in front of viewers. Leading the charge is CBS (CBS +0.8%) with the Stephen King-inspired Under the Dome scheduled to debut in June. What to watch: With new programs come higher development and marketing costs. How much will Comcast (CMCSA +1.3%), News Corp (NWSA +1.3%), and Disney (DIS +0.7%) invest in the summer ventures of their broadcast TV properties and will it be enough? 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Friday, May 3, 10:33 AM The slow start to the movie season could get a jumpstart from the 22 big-budget films slated for the summer months - compared to the 15 +$100M budget films last summer. Though the industry could make up some ground with theater revenue down 12% Y/Y so far, the crowded schedule will also pressure studios to increase their marketing spending and could leave a few of them with +$150M losses on flops to pass on to their parent companies (SNE, VIAB, CMCSA, LGF, TWX, DWA) . Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 1, 1:37 PM A standoff between movie studios (SNE, VIAB, CMCSA, LGF, TWX) and China's government over the percentage of the box office take studios can keep could have big implications on revenue totals down the road. Moving to a 25% cut from 13%-17% seemed like a big win, until China starting toying around with some extra taxes to levy on the group. The development is also something to watch for IMAX if it sees its pipeline cut down a bit. The tricky part: Playing hardball with China means studios risk getting banned from the country entirely to see that cut go all the way to 0%. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 1, 7:14 AM More on Comcast's (CMCSA) Q1: If the impact of not airing the Super Bowl in 2013 is backed out, revenue rose 4.7% Y/Y while cash flow and operating income also showed tidy gains. The company added 583K new high-speed Internet and voice customers in the quarter to take its total to 51.9M. NBCUniversal revenue gains were led by theme parks and cable networks to offset a sluggish performance by broadcast TV. Comcast saw its free cash flow increase 3.3% to $3.1B. (PR) Comment!

- Tuesday, April 30, 1:29 PM BTIG wants to know why major media companies aren't more focused on driving ratings higher by making content more accessible on platforms where competition is light. According to the investment firm, it's starting to feel like the obsession over protecting retransmission fees from cable/satellite operators is overriding the potential riches of growing advertising in new ways.

- Tuesday, April 30, 11:08 AM Hulu (DIS, NWS, CMCSA) discloses at a media conference that it has doubled the number of paying subscribers to its Hulu Plus service to over four million in the last year. The media venture continues to stay relevant by resurrecting canceled shows (All My Children, One Life to Live), planning original content, and licensing popular shows. 1 Comment [Consumer]
