Waiting for CW's Fall Schedule - No Longer

NBC stations don't operate in a vacuum, and competitive sales management often looks ahead at primetime programming sold by ABC, CBS, Fox and CW.

Our clients have already been sent a 4th Quarter Prime Planner showing the entire prime line-up for each of the above networks, except for CW, who will announce their fall season tomorrow morning.

Update: The fall season for CW is now in client inventories and estimates.

What's Your Cost Per "OOOH"?

“Television is not about ones and zeros,” Yaccarino says. “It’s about ooohs and ahhhs….We reach our fans, your consumers right here [pointing to her heart] where it counts the most. Only NBCUniversal brings together the art and the science.”

http://deadline.com/2016/05/nbcu-jabs-digital-nielsen-upfront-sales-one-company-1201757180/

And the perspective of the New York Times is here.

"Then there was the smackdown line from NBC’s ad chief, Linda Yaccarino, who threw shade at Nielsen’s outdated ratings metrics and declared, “I’m happy to do their job for them."
