LIV Golf , a professional tour that launched its challenge to the PGA Tour last year with $2 billion in backing from Saudi Arabia ’s Public Investment Fund, has finally landed a U.S. TV deal. The new outfit signed a multi-year pact with the CW , helping the broadcast network move closer toward its goal of delivering more live programming amid a broader overhaul. Nexstar Media Group acquired majority control of the CW last year, with former 50-50 partners Paramount Global and Warner Bros Discovery each retaining 12.5% stakes. The exclusive rights deal starts this year. Starting next month, the CW will air 14 of the tour’s events on weekends in 2023 and will stream them live on the CW app, including on Fridays. (LIV’s name is a nod to the tour’s 54-hole setup, with action happening Friday through Sunday, as opposed to the PGA Tour’s 72-hole format.) Financial terms were not disclosed, but the rights process was hampered by the PGA’s ties with major media companies like … [Read more...] about Saudi-Backed LIV Golf, After Search For U.S. TV Partner, Sets Multi-Year Deal With The CW

EXCLUSIVE : The CW has seemingly found its unscripted chief. Former NBCUniversal exec Heather Olander is on the verge of joining the broadcaster to oversee its unscripted programming, Deadline understands. It comes after Deadline revealed that the Nexstar-owned company was in the hunt for an alternative chief to work alongside recently appointed President of Entertainment Brad Schwartz. Olander, who could start as soon as next month, will have an interesting job on her hands as the network is set to increase the amount of unscripted content it airs as it looks to program more cost-effectively. Deadline understands that unscripted could make up more than 50% of its schedule going forward under its new owners. While The CW has long-aired series such as Penn & Teller: Fool Us, World’s Funniest Animals and Whose Line Is It Anyway? and moved into competition formats and panel shows with the likes of Would I Lie To You? and Killer Camp , it will grow this … [Read more...] about Heather Olander Set To Land Top Unscripted Job At The CW

Seth Rogen took the stage at the Critics Choice Awards to present the winner of Best Comedy Series. However, the comedic actor had some notes for the organizers of the ceremony and proceeded to put the CW , the network airing the event, on blast. Rogen said that it was his first time at the Critics Choice Awards and questioned if they “always give two awards out at the same time.” The actor was referring to the Supporting Actor/Actress category and had a bone to pick with the network. “That was weird,” he noted. “Why do they do that? Are we crunched for time? Get another hour! It can’t be that expensive. You know how I know that? This show airs at 4 p.m. on the CW. That cannot be pricey… timeslot, from my understanding of how this all works.” RELATED: Critics Choice Awards Photos: Live From The Red Carpet and Gala Ceremony Rogen continued roasting the network noting that they had no nominations at the event adding, “I’m not saying the CW is bad. What I will … [Read more...] about Seth Rogen Blasts The CW At The Critics Choice Awards: ‘We’re On Your Least Favorite Network’

The Critics Choice Awards aired Sunday night without much fanfare. The CW ’s broadcast of the 28th annual ceremony drew just 900,000 viewers, according to early Nielsen numbers. That’s a slight dip from last year when the ceremony, which was simulcast across The CW and TNT, took home an audience of 1.1M. TNT didn’t simulcast the ceremony this year, so technically The CW’s audience is higher than it was a year ago even though overall viewership declined. The dip in audience falls in line with every other awards show telecast losing viewers over the past few years. On Tuesday, NBC’s broadcast of the Golden Globes brought in the lowest ratings ever for the ceremony. Over the course of the three-hour Critics Choice broadcast, A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once won Best Picture, Brendan Fraser won Best Actor for A24’s The Whale , and Cate Blanchett took Best Actress for Focus Features’ Tár . View the full list of winners here . The ratings winner of the … [Read more...] about Critics Choice Awards Broadcast Draws Record Low Ratings On The CW

Netflix , after pulling itself out of a grueling series of setbacks in the first part of 2022, will face another test Thursday afternoon when it reports fourth quarter financial results. In addition to kicking off quarterly earnings season for media and entertainment companies, the report will usher in a year of increased scrutiny for the streaming business. Having moved mountains (and billions of dollars) to try to compete with Netflix after years of letting it run away with the streaming game, media companies are still very early in their direct-to-consumer orientation process. “Rather than being the new sliced bread, investors and executives have accepted that streaming is, in fact, not a good business – at least not compared to what came before,” MoffettNathanson analyst Robert Fishman wrote in a note to clients this week. “But that pre-streaming era is now long gone and not coming back. If streaming is a mediocre business, so what? We are in a streaming age now.” … [Read more...] about Netflix Q4 Report To Kick Off Year Of Streaming Scrutiny As Hollywood And Wall Street Try To See If The Math Can Work

The WGA is gearing up for upcoming contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers, arguably its most important in over a decade. This has prompted a group of top writers to look back at the lessons learned from the 2007-08 writers’ strike to see what can be applied to this year’s talks. Angela Workman, writer of The Zookeeper’s Wife , Chap Taylor, consulting producer on The Blacklist, Holly Sorensen, creator of the Step Up TV series, Flint Wainess, consulting producer of The CW’s In The Dark, Mixed Signals writer Eric Tipton and Marc Guggenheim, co-creator and exec producer of Arrow and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow – all veterans of the 07-08 picket line – weighed into the issue ahead of the negotiations. “There’s a lot of confusion about what the 2007-08 strike did and did not accomplish, and a lot of discussion about what we might achieve in our upcoming negotiation,” writes Workman on the From The Trenches: Working … [Read more...] about WGA Writers Look Back At 2007-08 Strike For Lessons To Apply To Looming Negotiations: “They Call It Fog Of War For A Reason”
