Say Goodbye to NHL This Weekend

NBC has changed this Saturday again. And although APT doesn't mention it, my guess is there's no NHL on Sunday, too.

Not only will there not be NHL on Saturday, but they've now dropped the half hour "bonus Derby coverage" they announced late Tuesday night, which replaced World Of Adventure at 3:30p. So, that gets deleted from client inventory. Thanks, NBC!

So, NBC local stations have lots of weekend hours to fill with local programming and ads. Client stations who provide fill-in programming to RDRx get them listed as such.

NBC Sports Changes Saturday (5/7)

Say goodbye to the spots you booked in World of Adventure. Late Friday evening, NBC decided to add another half hour of "Bonus Derby Coverage" starting at 3:30pm ET.

Ever notice how NBC normally lists the entire 3 hour block (now 3.5 hours) as one event in APT? Yet when they submit names to Nielsen, they break out the actual race from the hours of lead-in programming.

No Shuttle Launch, Tuesdays Change in May & Summer Thursdays

It's been a busy morning @ 30 Rock.

All RDRx clients have already been updated.

There But For The Grace Of God....

OneDomain's Birmingham HQ is South of downtown, in Riverchase, near the community of Hoover. About 45 miles WSW of Riverchase is Tuscaloosa, the home of the University of Alabama. Here's what Tuscaloosa looks like this morning after a second wave of storms hit late Wednesday:

See Photos 2-6 of this slideshow from the NY Times.

As far as I can tell from company emails, no employee from ODI was injured during yesterday's storms and tornadoes, but there was a great deal of damage at many homes and everyone knows someone whose home has been damaged or destroyed.

Many of our workers are helping friends, neighbors and relatives. It's just the way ODI people ARE. But those who are not are currently staffing our telephone helplines (landlines are down, but we use VOIP) and Bomgar support machines. Our Birmingham office is OPEN.

If there is anything I can do to help ODI clients during this time, just push the button that says "Call Me" over there ---------------------------->.

Birmingham HQ Hit By Bad Weather

Overnight, storm winds blew through Birmingham, and power was cut off for several hours.

At dawn, our IT people tried to get into the office to restart servers, and this is what they were greeted with:

NYTimes article about the storm.

From CNN:

There were also reports of damage at Birmingham's Shuttlesworth International Airport. Spokeswoman Toni Bass said damage was reported to one airport hangar and several trees were down around the airport. Passenger operations were not affected, she said.

Some 269,000 people were without power, most of them in the metro Birmingham area, as of about 8:20 a.m. (9:20 a.m. ET), said Michael Sznajderman, spokesman for Alabama Power, which covers the southern two-thirds of the state. "We're chipping away" at them, he said, but crews may have to pause as the second line of storms approaches.

"Major damage" was reported in six counties, and it appears to be more widespread than that from an April 15 storm, August said. Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley's office was getting a state of emergency declaration ready, she said.

Several school systems were dismissing students early or were closed Wednesday because of the weather, The Birmingham News reported.

So, if you call our Bham offices this morning, don't be surprised if we're a bit behind.

Paul Reiser Gone; Office Repeats Fill May Sweep

Yesterday, NBC canceled next Wednesday's Minute To Win It and SVU to make room for a "next-night" encore of The Voice premiere airing Tuesday.

This afternoon, NBC canceled Paul Reiser and will replace it with Office re-runs effective next week, which I'm sure few will protest.

Still no Thursday summer programming from NBC. Maybe next week...

NBC/Comcast/VS Extends NHL For Decade

Not that NBC stations in the Deep South or Pacific areas really care, because NHL simply doesn't do well in areas that get a lot of sun. And how many "minority" NHL fans are there?

But, if you want to read the press release, the folks at FutonCritic are happy to reprint it.

More NBC Sports Specials Changes Announced

With more than 200 NBC Sports programs each year, there's a lot of changes. RDRx clients like WRCB will be updated today.

How Many NBC Sports Inventory Lines?

Premier RDRx clients now have 228 unique NBC Sports inventory items, each with their own unique audience estimate with full rationale, freshly updated with Feb 2011 PAV audience compositions.

If you wish your NBC station had this level of ability to sell, just contact your ODI rep.

Feb 2011 Sweeps Data Arrives for WRCB

February 2011 Sweeps data has arrived on the Chattanooga server, and I'm enjoying the four-fold increase in PAVs to choose from. However, I wonder how those with less experience are handling this matter?

WRCB Sales Management will get email later today with a draft Master Planner.

Oh, it's the weekend.. Good thing it's cloudy, windy and cold in Las Vegas today.
And just miserable levels of Mulberry pollen in the air. So, with cat, blackberry cobbler and computers, I'm stayin' in today and rocking Selling Books. :)

Paul Reiser Show Starts April 14th

New Thursday night prime lineup is now being entered in RDRx client inventories.

Is Your Station Ready for Second Quarter NBC Prime?

With today's announcement from NBC, if your inventory hasn't been updated in the last 8 hours, it's wrong.

If you are an NBC station and wish assistance with your inventory and estimates, just contact your ODI rep.

WRCB now has a totally updated Prime & Specials Planner through June on their system.

Finale Dates And More Announced

Not yet in APT, because I was IN APT when the announcement was made.

Premium RDRx clients are now being updated, and inventory plus estimates will be ready by the close of business today, EST.

Wednesdays Change, Starting This Week.. and more

NBC Sports Estimates Refreshed

Each NBC Sports program from now until the 4th of July Weekend has just been double-checked for exact time, as well as the most accurate audience estimate with full rationale.

Next week, I'll begin working on Third and Fourth Quarters... right now, they are about 96% accurate, and that's just not good enough for my clients.

New Inventory and Estimates Published for Voice & Biggest Loser Changes

Yep, right after I had access to the server, I jumped in and began updating.

WRCB AE's now in MediaOffice simply should save their work, close MediaOffice, then re-open to see the new programs and ratings.

The Voice Premieres Tuesday, April 26th

Looks like Tuesdays during May Sweeps will feature an hour of The Voice, followed by 2 hours of The Biggest Loser.

We're having a bit of trouble reaching the Bomgar client in Chattanooga, so my clients there will have to wait a few hours for this to show up in inventory. IT @ ODI has been notified.

WRCB Has NBC Sports Updated.. Does Your Station?

The weekend of June 11th and 12th has been totally changed, including the hiatus of NBC Evening News on the 11th.

In the last 24 hours, twelve different NBC Sports programs in the next 4 months were added, cancelled or changed dates and/or time periods. It's easy enough to find out what NBC has done.

What's not easy is keeping up to date with the almost countless changes (ok, if you want to count, just look at the archives here.. I'm on vacation now)

For real broadcasters, there's also the issue of getting the inventory changed ASAP, plus creating and publishing updated audience estimates with new rationale.

WRCB can print out new Sports Planners today. If you wish your NBC station could, just ask your OneDomain rep, or give me a call.

Triple Crown Returns to NBC; June Sports Changes Announced

Now that NBcomcast has Versus to use as it's own ESPN-like sports channel, I'm going to guess we'll see a lot more packages of sports split over both NBC and Versus, with less popular programs airing on cable only.

Here's the reason a whole bunch of sports specials on 6/11 & 6/12 are being rescheduled:

We Love You, Maria.....

It's not the usual day a guy can look at a computer screen at his home office, and sigh and say out loud (presumably to himself) "I love you, Maria.." and then have his wife walk up from behind, and hear her say "yeah, I loved working with her, too." (she was an GE FMP and worked with Maria for about 6 years)

Without Maria's kind guidance, most NBC stations would be totally SOL re: NBC Sports. If you don't know which Maria we're talking about, you aren't an NBC affiliate.

If you are an NBC affiliate, and don't have an RD or RDRx service, you're missing out on hundreds of sports events each year. Give your OneDomain rep a call and we can get you on the road to actually selling the little gems Maria provides.

Already in RDRx Inventory: Inside the Royal Wedding on 4/27

(official press release)

NBC VIEWERS ARE SET TO BE TAKEN BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE SPECTACULAR ROYAL MARRIAGE IN THE SPECIAL ‘INSIDE THE ROYAL WEDDING’ ON APRIL 27

Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira of NBC’s “Today” to Host Primetime Program Dedicated to Revealing Exclusive Preparations for Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton


NEW YORK, NY – February 7, 2011 – NBC will take viewers behind the scenes of the most anticipated royal wedding of the century – the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton – in “Inside the Royal Wedding,” an exclusive documentary special hosted by NBC “Today’s” Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira, on Wednesday, April 27 (8-9 p.m. ET).

The observational special will provide a must-watch prelude to the big event on Friday, April 29. “Inside the Royal Wedding” will have incredible access as it reveals the extensive preparations behind such a memorable global spectacle and will introduce the audience to the people who are directly involved with many aspects of the modern-day royal wedding. As a result, tension and drama ensue as details from dress design and flowers to the guest list and cake assume monumental proportions.

More Feb Prime Changes Announced

Last night was the end of The Chase, and from now till March, Minute To Win It gets two hours on Wednesday.

Even more changes announced by NBC... but RDRx clients already have them published to inventory and estimates.

So, if your client has spots booked in this weekend's Chuck or next Wednesday's Chase, get crackin'! Unless you don't have a research director or RDRx... then just get ready to do makegoods in March.

Here's the official notification.

Ok, here's a factoid you didn't expect. On August 28th, 1963, as Martin Luther King Jr. and hundreds of thousands of others marched through Washington DC on their way to the Lincoln Memorial, they walked through Washington Circle.. where a half-blind, white bread future ratings geek stood on the curb with his father and watched in astonishment.

I can't say I actually saw MLK. But as best I could, I witnessed a massive change in our country.

Chattanooga Data Arrives..

Nielsen has changed their distribution of sweeps data this time. In all previous major sweeps, Nielsen burned data on DVDs, then used FedEx to ship them to third-party processors. With the slow roll-out of monthly data (for some markets) came electronic distribution of sweeps info.

Premium RDRx clients got their data today. The most senior of them all goes first.

By close of business today, Chattanooga time, WRCB will have completely revised quarterly and specials Selling Books based on November 2010 data.

Monday, December 27th Back To Chuckathon

Hmm... this is becoming a trend.

Monday, December 27th, is going back to being a CHUCK marathon night, with 3 episodes of CHUCK airing at 8, 9 & 10PM ET/PT to give the show some extra sampling over the holidays.


Monday, December 27th:

9:00-10:00 CHUCK (Repeat)

This removes an encore Walk In My Shoes.

Next Monday Night Changed Again!

Back to a 2 hour SingOff, then Perfect Couple at 10pE/P, then a repeat Office at 10:30p.

Undercovers Cancelled.. TBA replaces in 2011

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- NBC has canceled its freshman drama "Undercovers."

Network and studio sources have confirmed the Peacock won't order any additional episodes of the series, which is still expected to complete production on its original 13-episode order.

Last night's installment drew 5.85 million viewers and a 1.3 rating among adults 18-49, the latter of which tied a repeat of "Hell's Kitchen" on FOX and an original "America's Next Top Model" on The CW for third place in its Wednesday, 8:00/7:00c slot.

"Undercovers" is still on the schedule (November 10, November 17 and December 1), however beyond that remains to be determined. Six episodes - including the post-pilot installment (#2J5451) - have yet to air.

Bryan Burk, J.J. Abrams and Josh Reims are the executive producers for Warner Bros. Television.

Soft-Money Robo-Calls Jam RDRx Phone Lines til 11/2

Nutshell: Use email to reach me for a couple of weeks.. If you telephone, you might get lost in the Nevada Political BS.

-----------------------------------------

Wow, with all the money being spent on political advertising, you would think they could get better automated calling systems. Our offices are getting several calls each hour from various political and "research" organizations. That's what you get for having a published phone number in these days of politics by checkbook, I suppose.

So, from now through November 2nd, the direct phone line number you've previously been given will be answered by voicemail at all hours, instead of just Midnight til 8am. I simply don't have the time to answer, repeat my greeting and then wait for some crappy tape recording of "Hello, I'm with GPS Research.. did you know Harry Reid.." Click.

My knickers are in a twist for a couple of reasons. I have a BA degree in Political Science and have managed (winning) political campaigns long ago. But most of all, I hate the fake "research" companies... if there were humans actually calling from those lie-foundries, they would hang up on ME after a few moments.

Added the next day: Honest, I didn't know GPS Research was really Karl Rove's slushfund. I just knew they stunk... now I know why.

Added the weekend after the election: Funny, the Republicans don't seem to be interested in my opinion anymore. Phone lines return to normal.

The Event, Outsourced & L&O:LA Get Season Orders

NBC ORDERS FULL-SEASON PICKUPS FOR NEW SERIES ‘THE EVENT,’ ‘LAW & ORDER: LOS ANGELES’ AND ‘OUTSOURCED’

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – October 18, 2010 – NBC has given full-season pickups to three of its new Fall 2010-11 series, "The Event," "Law & Order: Los Angeles" and "Outsourced." The announcement was made by Angela Bromstad, President, Primetime Entertainment, NBC and Universal Media Studios.

"We are pleased with the quality of ‘The Event,’ ‘Law & Order: Los Angeles’ and ‘Outsourced,’ and feel they are an important part of helping to re-build our schedule and our studio pipeline," said Bromstad.

"We believe in these new series and the creative auspices behind them."
Through October 11, "The Event" has averaged a 3.0 rating, 7 share in adults 18-49 and 9.1 million viewers overall in "most current" averages from Nielsen Media Research.

"The Event" has generated a 30 percent improvement in the time period versus year-ago "most current" results for NBC in 18-49 rating (with a 3.0 rating vs. a 2.3) and a 47 percent increase in total viewers (9.1 million vs. 6.2 million). On a percentage basis, "The Event" was the most time-shifted new series in adults 18-49 during premiere week from among the ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox primetime lineups, with 35 percent of "The Event's" "live plus seven day" rating being accounted for by time-shifting. Additionally, "The Event" was licensed to nearly 200 territories internationally even before its U.S. premiere, and is launching in numerous regions abroad to impressive ratings.


As of October 13, "Law & Order: Los Angeles" has averaged a 2.5 rating, 7 share in adults 18-49 and 8.7 million viewers overall in "live plus same day" averages from Nielsen. "Law & Order: L.A." has delivered a 39 percent improvement in the time period versus year-ago "live plus same day" results for NBC in 18-49 rating (with a 2.5 rating vs. a 1.8) and a 45 percent increase in total viewers (8.7 million vs. 6.0 million).


Through October 14, "Outsourced" has averaged a 3.0 rating, 8 share in adults 18-49 and 6.3 million viewers overall in "most current" averages from Nielsen. In the valuable adult 18-34 demographic, "Outsourced" is averaging a 3.3 rating, making it the #1 new series on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox this fall. "Outsourced" is also heavily time-shifted, adding 19 percent to its "live plus same day" 18-49 rating when Nielsen issued "live plus seven day" results for premiere week (to a 4.29 rating from a 3.59), making it the top gainer among first-year half-hour comedies on the ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox primetime lineups.
