Tomorrow Night's Prime Changes to AGT Encore; Likely Through August

Sigh....

This replaces tomorrow night's 8pm scheduled encore of The Winner.  My guess is that NBC will drop the remaining Winner encores in August, and replace it with this AGT encore until September.

RatingBook.com clients now have new PAV-based audience estimates for all of these possibilities.

Users are reminded to restart the WideOrbit/OneDomainInc software (which I lovingly refer to as Woodi) in order to have their desktop get the latest changes from the server in their station I maintain from Las Vegas.

This follows yesterday's August-long change of Fridays at 8pm.

And last week's summer-long change on Saturdays.

And weekend changes made before many went on vacation.

But 44 days ago, here's how they planned for summer.

That's why I call this little journal "NothingButChange."

Vacation Month in Manhattan Means Few Posts

It's not that I'm on vacation. And it's not that I think vacations are bad.. everyone needs them.

I'm guessing a good chunk of the NBC folks who decide things are not in their offices at 30 Rock this week.  July Sweeps are over, August and early September schedules are set, all of the premiere work starts in mid-September..

If I had 2 or 3 weeks of vacation and worked for NBC, I would be anyplace other than Manhattan right now.  And since seniority gets to pick vacation dates first, the choicest weeks would go to the top folks at any company.

So, don't expect to see any major announcements today.  If anything, we'll get a ping from the people remaining to show everyone they WERE there.

Game Show, Wall of Fame, is Announced

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. --  (July 11, 2013) – NBC has ordered eight episodes of the original hour-long game show “Wall of Fame,” from Endemol USA (“Big Brother,” “Wipeout,” “Steve Harvey,” “Freakshow”) it was announced today by Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Late Night Programming, NBC.   Endemol USA, a leading producer of multiple genres of unscripted and scripted programming, will produce the new series.

“Wall of Fame” is a comedic game show where one family can win big money if they can not only answer pop culture trivia questions correctly, but can also guess whether members of our celebrity "Wall of Fame" delivered the correct answers to those same questions.  The celebrity answers will sometimes surprise you, sometimes impress you, but they will always make viewers laugh.

Endemol USA has a successful track record for producing hit game shows.  “Deal or No Deal,” based on the international Endemol format which aired in over 50 countries, aired on NBC for four seasons and consistently ranked in the U.S. as one of NBC’s highest rated shows.

"This series offers something for everyone in a unique game show format that rewards families who know their pop culture trivia," said Telegdy.  "Our celebrities will add an extra element of surprise as they too will have their knowledge tested -- providing a high potential for many unpredictable and raucous answers." 

"With its dramatic game play and celebrities supplying a steady stream of comedy, ‘Wall of Fame’ has the ingredients to be the next hit," said David Goldberg, Chairman and CEO, Endemol North America.  "It isn't enough for families to know the correct answer to pop culture trivia questions.  In order to win big money, contestants need to predict which of our eclectic panel of celebrities also knows the correct answer," he continued.  "Audiences will be constantly amused and surprised by our celebrity's answers. It's the classic case of 'you can't always judge a book by its cover,'" he concluded.

ABC O&Os Get Mobile Live Streaming

http://thefutoncritic.com/news/2013/07/01/disney-abc-television-group-expands-authenticated-watch-abc-live-streaming-service-to-four-additional-markets-780302/20130701abc01/

This announcement brings a number of questions:

Will the local ads be simulcast as well as national and network?
What measurement system will they use to lump in mobile viewing with standard TV?
Why would non-O&O's turn over their retransmission opportunity to NBC/U?
