APT Misleads Again: Macy's 4th of July Still Not Listed
Why is it NBC's APT site still insists on listing two L&O:SVU hours from 9-11pm on July 4th, when even their own website elsewhere tells you otherwise?
My clients have Macy's 4th of July Fireworks in Specials Inventory. Amazingly enough, the second hour rerun of the first hour did fairly well last year, so I'm listing it as a two hour special rather than cherry picking the first and letting TP and ROS fill in the last hour.
Update on June 5th:
If this is news to you, you need my services.

NYTimes: NBC's Harbert Just Can't Wait For Nielsen
By BRIAN STELTER
The chairman of NBC Broadcasting, Ted Harbert, challenged the television industry on Monday to rethink its ratings measurements and criticized the Nielsen Company for being ineffectual in the face of technological advances.
“So the first issue that deserves a lot of discussion is cross platform measurement. We must be able to measure consumer behavior, and that means measuring the viewer-slash-user no matter what screen they’re in front of. Frankly, it didn’t matter that much before because the numbers were so small. But obviously that’s changed.
Last year I complained about how my kids watch TV. But now, I am them. I caved. I’ll watch TV on my iPhone. (But I’m drawing the line on my watch.) And marketers want to know how many people watch across all platforms; how they respond to what they watch; and what do they do while they’re watching.
You want these answers, and for the amount of money you’re spending, you deserve to get them. We’re participating in many initiatives to try and crack the measurement code because we just can’t wait — and wait some more — for Nielsen to do it. We’ll share what we learn, and we want your input and participation.”
Massive Summer NBC Prime Revisions
35 different program changes were announced by NBC late this afternoon.
All RatingBook.com clients have been updated, effective late Monday night.

Revolution Clip from Upfront Presentation

NBC Sports Specials Titles: More Verbose Than Me?
Here I go, pointing out The Peacock is missing a few feathers again....
I've gotta ask.. what part of the following title do you think is going to make it into the newspaper, online and DVR scheduling summaries?
Or is the spamming of corporate names as "Program Title" part of the package Comcast sells to large buyers of hour-long blocks like this?
Of course, paragon of transparency they are, NBC reports these Red Bull programs to Nielsen as... drum roll please..
No Bull!
Update:
I looked for what the "Nike Lowers Pro" really is. It's a surfing contest in California being taped for airing by NBC stations 45 days later.
At the very bottom of the webpage, there was a link for Red Bull. Here's exactly where it led me:

NBC: EA Sports Special on Saturday, Nov 24th
More tweaking of Sports Specials.. the first two really only matter to NBC/Comcast and the outside production companies buying and programming those time blocks. However, the third comes at a nice time, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Most young men won't be caught dead shopping this weekend and by Saturday afternoon, EA Sports might sound very appealing over turkey sandwiches.

And with that great lead-in from the Finale of Ford Escape Routes, I'm sure a rerun of The Voice will do better than another new episode of the critically acclaimed and secret ratings producer The Firm, right?
Update: Here's the first net posting of this change I found elsewhere.
Monday morning update:
Here's what the website TVByTheNumbers reports:
Broadcast primetime ratings for Saturday, May 5, 2012:
Nielsen TV Ratings: ©2012 The Nielsen Company. All Rights Reserved. Ford's Escape Routes finale had a 0.3 HH Rating, earning the lowest ratings of the night by any major network. If you've been reading this blog, you didn't sell that paid programming block to anyone expecting any real local demo delivery. |

| Also, I see some local TV stations bailed on this re-run and ran local movies instead. NBC, when your moves cause local stations to preempt your Sweeps programming, something is very wrong. Please see sick peacock above. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
