Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Trump enabler awarded prime time show on CNN

[PGage]

Everything Mark says about CNN’s strategy being doomed to narrow, rather
than broaden their audience is correct. They are alienating not just
liberals, but moderates with their hard right turn, and have almost chance
to attract a significant fraction of the Fox News audience.

I think the way to make sense of this is to understand that Licht’s mandate
is not really to either increase ratings or improve journalism; instead it
is very simply to please John Malone, who just wants to dilute an
independent news voice.

Four of the eight markets have Nexstar stations that I’m sure would love to 
make room on their airwaves.
Philadelphia: WPHL (My)
San Francisco: KRON (My)
Sacramento: KTXL (Fox)
Tampa: WFLA (NBC)/WTTA (My)
 
In addition, Mission Broadcasting is planning to buy WADL/Detroit, calling in 
Nexstar for help with operational services – which could take care of WKBD’s 
disaffiliation.

A producer doesn’t have to be a fan of or politically aligned with the
content being produced. It’s probably easier to grasp that with music
producers like Clive Davis who worked with artists of all genres and
backgrounds. I could easily produce a high-rated reality TV series, and I
despise the genre. Licht might make money for CNN, just as he did for
Colbert‘s show, but he doesn’t have to like either.

Traditionally liberal CNN personalities like Anderson Cooper and Christiane
Amanpour are going to find themselves without an audience as Licht steers
the channel rightward and everyone stops watching. Cooper and Amanpour are
going to pretend to be above it all but they can’t escape the consequences
of the editorial choices.

Re: [TV orNotTV] CW Fall Annotated, Eh?

[M-D November]

It's also going to be interesting to see where some of these programmes 
(eh?) will air in 8 major markets where CBS-owned CW stations are dropping 
their affiliations (including Philadelphia - Philly57 to be a pseudo-indie).

[TV orNotTV] CW Fall Annotated, Eh?

[Mark Jeffries]

The CW, brought to you by Tim Hortons (OK, enough of the Canadian jokes). 
Of course, the truth is that the model the network originally ran on of 
lose money now, make it up for CBS and Warners on the backend overseas 
sales and Netflix licensing doesn't work anymore and Nexstar wants to see 
black ink by 2025.  To that end, the CDub is now in summer mode all year 
long with a lineup dominated by overseas pickups and unscripted.  Here it 
is:

MONDAY
8:00-9:00PM All American (the only--ONLY--U.S. scripted series with new 
episodes)
9:00-10:00PM 61st STREET--Dumped by the ailing AMC while the second season 
was being shot, it's a cop drama set in Chicago that doesn't look much like 
Dick Wolf's Wednesday night shows on NBC, with Courtney B. Vance and 
Aunjanaue Ellis. Both completed seasons will air back-to-back.

TUESDAY
8:00-8:30PM SON OF A CRITCH--Mark Critch of the long-running CBC sketchcom 
"This Hour Has 22 Minutes" (which Americans have never seen unless they 
live on the border) tells stories off-camera of him growing up in the 
Canadian province Newfoundland (CBC promos:  "Tonight at 8, 8:30 in 
Newfoundland") in the 80s.  Malcolm McDowell plays his grandfather.  Two 
13-ep seasons on the CBC from last year, will air those seasons 
back-to-back.
8:30-9:00PM RUN THE BURBS--A Vietnamese family moves to the Great White 
North to start a new life. A cast member of "KIm's Convenience" (in case 
you watched it on Netflix) created and stars in the show. On the CBC since 
last year, 25 episodes over two seasons, will air the seasons back-to-back.
9:00-9:30PM CHILDREN RUIN EVERYTHING--From a producer of 'Schitt's Creek" 
whose last name is not Levy, a standard issue family sitcom (I guess it's a 
single-cam).  Two seasons and 24 episodes for CTV and Roku Channel in the 
U.S., a third season has been ordered, Roku will continue to stream the 
show.
9:30-10:00PM EVERYONE ELSE BURNS--A British family holds some, uh, extreme 
religious views about their fellow man and the world. Started on Channel 4 
in the UK earlier this year for a typically-British six episodes (although 
produced by Universal and JAX Media).

WEDNESDAY
8:00-9:00PM SULLIVAN’S CROSSING--A neurosurgeon fleeing from the law moves 
back to her old home, from a series of novels by Robyn Carr and starring 
three veterans of old school CW shows, including Chad Michael Murray ("One 
Tree Hill") and lead Morgan Kohan ("Batwoman").  From the producers of the 
similar Netflix show "Virgin River" and Fremantle, was on CTV earlier this 
year, ten episodes.
9:00-10:00PM THE SPENCER SISTERS--Lea Thompson plays a mystery novelist who 
solves crimes with her daughter, who people mistake for her sister, in a 
return to the good old days of the blue-sky procedural that kept USA and 
TNT in business.  Started on CTV earlier this year, 10 episodes.

THURSDAY
8:00-9:00PM FBOY ISLAND (repeat of previous week)
9:00-10:00PM FBOY ISLAND--The you-gotta-be-kidding HBO Max dating show that 
got cut by Daddy Zaslav as part of the great cost cut at WBD moves to OTA 
TV and starts with the first season (a second season is in the can) so you 
know there's lots of bleeps.  Ilana Glazer continues as host, an "FGIRL 
Island" spinoff will air mid-season.

FRIDAY
8:00-9:00PM Penn & Teller:  Fool Us (Brooke Burke replaces Alyson Hannigan 
as the show's fifth wheel)
9:00-9:30PM Whose Line Is It Anyway? (the last season of the long-runner, 
they'll probably make so many episodes that new shows will air years from 
now)
9:30-10:00PM Whose Line reruns

SATURDAY
8:00-8:30PM Masters of Illusion
8:30-9:00PM Masters of Illusion (previous season repeat)
9:00-9:30PM World's Funniest Animals
9:30-10:00PM World's Funniest Animals (previous season repeat)

SUNDAY
8:00-10:00PM I AM FILMS--A series of feature documentary bios I have never 
heard of before, although I sort of remember the first one, 2012's "I Am 
Bruce Lee."  Three new episodes will be made.

And the reboot of "Walker," which I suspect was never a favorite of the 
CDub hardcore, will return for a 13-episode final season after the first of 
the year.

The wailing and moaning of the faithful can now begin (oh hell, it's 
already started).
