Today’s Premieres A&E: America’s Top Dog at 8p HGTV: Good Bones at 9p Netflix: Starbeam IN THE NEWS “The CMT Music Awards” will have its global premiere exclusively on CBS in 2022. This year, the event was simulcast across ViacomCBS cousins, including its long-time home, CMT, and saw a more than 10% increase in total viewers. CMT isn’t out of the picture – the network will kick off the company’s first ever Country Music Week by hosting week-long special programming and events capped by director’s cut airings of the “CMT Music Awards later on CMT and various ViacomCBS platforms. The Federal Trade Commission’s antitrust complaint against Facebook was dismissed by a federal judge, who said the government’s case – aimed at breaking up the tech giant - was “legally insufficient,” and did not prove its assertion that Facebook held a monopoly. The judge did not, however, dismiss the case as a whole, saying the agency could file and amended complaint. Thumbs up, said investors - Facebook’s stock rose 4.2% on the news, pushing the company’s market cap above $1 trillion for the first time. The Advertising Research Foundation announced a study designed to produce a common set of unbiased measures for defining digital device and account sharing and usage. “The Study of Account and Device Sharing” will assess personal and household sharing and usage of devices and digital media and ecommerce accounts. Research will include: · A comprehensive household device graph, with device ownership, sharing among household members and modes of usage · Television ownership by brand, home location, service mode, and smart capability · TV viewing by respondent by device in the past seven days · Viewing of live and streaming services by respondent by device, P7D and yesterday, including co-viewing · Time-shifted viewing of live TV · Account ownership and sharing of streaming video and audio services “Providers of digital services and research lack a consistent, reliable and efficient way to parse the digital world at the user level,” said Paul Donato, Chief Research Officer at the ARF. “The initiative will provide a critical and much-needed, unbiased standard to the industry for the measurement of digital device and account sharing.” Sponsors of the study include 605, Experian, Innovid, Neustar, The NPD Group, Verizon and VideoAmp. AMC Networks announced they will adopt Unified ID 2.0, an upgraded alternative to third-party cookies representing a neutral, independent ID solution that is interoperable and open-source with other ID solutions. Prebid.org has agreed to serve as an operator for the ID later this year. “As we continue our viewers first strategy, advertisers look to move their reach into streaming and it is our goal to make 100% of our digital inventory available to buy programmatically, joining the Unified ID 2.0 initiative made perfect sense,” said Evan Adlman, SVP of Advanced Advertising and Digital Partnership for AMC Networks.
