DVR making big changes in television viewing

November 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Now that nearly 30% of American households have DVR‘s, viewers are in control of their own TV schedules and this is rapidly changing the studio business around it.

Nowhere is the impact more apparent than at the CW, where recording the shows and watching them later account for nearly 17 percent of the network’s viewership over a one-week period.

The most time-shifted show is NBC‘s “The Office,” where 28 percent of its audience watched it sometime other than Thursdays at 9 p.m, Nielsen said. Action shows and serialized dramas, like “Fringe,” “Heroes” and “Grey’s Anatomy,” have big time-shifted audiences.

Peter Bart, AMPTP Shill, reacts to the looming strike

November 24, 2008 | 2 Comments

“If SAG were to throw a monkey wrench into Oscar season, as the writer’s did a year ago, its action would doubtless stir wrath throughout the creative community,” he writes.

We are the creative community. Us, the WGA and the DGA. The WGA has already been screwed out of their New Media money… so, let me ask: who’s wrath would SAG be getting? The AMPTP‘s? They are the creative community?

“First of all I don’t know where all that came from. Every costar I ever worked with I’m either having an affair, about to get married to him, we’re having a baby or we absolutely cannot stand each other.”

Finally, she says, “We were very good friends and were very much partners on this movie. We decided to produce it together and we rewrote the script together. Every day was like, ‘How are we going to do this? What are we going to do now?’ ”
