ABC has ordered a Roseanne spin-off without Roseanne Barr. How should the Roseanne character be written off The Conners? Let us know what you think in the Cynopsis poll: http://cynopsis.com/poll/. (How are Cynopsis readers following the World Cup? In our last poll, 35% said, Which sport is that?, followed by 33% for watching TV, and 16% each for streaming and reading about it.) ADVERTISING & AGENCIES Havas Group’s cultural and entertainment practice the Annex is opening an office in Atlanta, to handle the social media accounts of Coca-Cola. The Annex is also expanding to LA and NYC. Most adults think standard 15- or 30-second ads are more effective than the 6-second variety that have been gaining popularity, according to a survey from Research Intelligencer and Pollfish. 46.5% of respondents said 30-second ads were the optimum length to engage with advertising, and 26.5% said 15-second spots were best. The preferred media experience was “free access with a few long ads” (38.9%) followed by “free access with a lot of short ads” (31.5%). DIGITAL DATA Telemundo’s digital presentation of 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia set a new record with Thursday’s Argentina-Croatia match, which ranks as the most-watched livestream event in Spanish-language history with 4.3 million livestreams and 68 million minutes. YouTube introduced new features at Vidcom 2018 last week, aimed at helping YouTubers grow their fanbases and make more money. Chief product officer Neal Mohan said the new YouTube Premiere feature for creators, fostering more real-time interaction between viewers and creators, will be “like the entire audience around the globe for that video will be together.” YouTube has also been testing Channel Memberships, with subscribers paying a monthly fee to get unique badges, emoji and access to custom perks by creators. Netflix’s chief communications officer is leaving the company after seven years, after using the N-word in front of co-workers. "Leaders have to be beyond reproach in the example we set and unfortunately I fell short of that standard when I was insensitive in speaking to my team about words that offend in comedy," tweeted Jonathan Friedland. "I feel awful about the distress this lapse caused to people at a company I love and where I want everyone to feel included and appreciated." In a memo explaining the situation, CEO Reed Hastings said Friedland used the N-word several months ago during a discussion about sensitive words, and again a few days later in front of two black employees in the HR department when they were speaking about the incident. “Many of us have worked closely with Jonathan for a long time, and have mixed emotions,” said Hastings. “Unfortunately, his lack of judgment in this area was too big for him to remain.” Most Americans would rather not accept help from robots, according to a survey from the Brookings Institution, with 61% of respondents saying they are somewhat or very uncomfortable with robots. Among those who are interested in non-human help, 20% said they were interested in an assist with chores around the house, 17% said they were interested in a security robot, and 9% said they’d consider using a robot to help with child or elder care. Adobe is among the companies using new AI tools to edit videos and images, but in a research paper shown at the CVPR computer vision conference, Adobe demonstrated it is also developing technology to identify fake images. The research paper noted three machine learning can spot three types of image tampering: splicing, where two parts of different images are combined; cloning, where images are copy and pasted; and when an object is removed from an image. Elastic, creator of data search software, has filed to go public. The company is anticipating a valuation between $1.5 billion and $3 billion. CASTING Lisa Edelstein, currently starring in the fifth and final season of Bravo’s The Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, will recur on season two of ABC’s The Good Doctor. The role reunites Edelstein with House EP David Shore. Victor Williams (King of Queens) landed a series regular role on CBS’s Happy Together. Williams replaces Tim Meadows, who had the role in the pilot but is moving to ABC’s The Goldbergs spinoff. Dan Lauria (The Wonder Years) and Ashley Romans (I’m Dying Up Here) will recur on season nine of Showtime’s Shameless. |
