Top Story It's time for FCC to get real about auction's benefits, Pai says
The time has come for the Federal Communications Commission to get specific about how much broadcasters can expect to earn from selling their spectrum, according to FCC member Ajit Pai. "To get broadcasters to the table, we need to turn the abstract concept of an incentive into the concrete reality of cash," Pai said in a speech. Pai also said the proceeding must not put constraints on AT&T, Verizon and other major players because doing so could reduce the total take of the auction. Broadcasting & Cable (2/27) Share:  Business & Industry Report Broadcasters sound alarm over potential STELA rewrite
A House rewrite of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act would force broadcasters to include basic-tier carriage in their retransmission-consent talks with cablers, sources say. That could have implications for must-carry stations, although the outcome is unclear. "We are being forced to strenuously oppose this bill because our members are extremely concerned," NAB spokesman Dennis Wharton said. Broadcasting & Cable (2/27) Share:

Technology Exec: NextRadio app could prove to be a lifesaver
The NextRadio application could prove to be a key resource during emergencies because it would allow users to receive radio signals when cell service is down, according to Bud Walters, president of the Cromwell Group. "A good example is the ice storm of a few years ago when up in Owensboro, Ky., they lost telephone, cellphone service, cable, electricity -- there was no communication for a week," Walters said. "The only communication was our four radio stations. If you had it on your phone, so many more people would have had access." The Tennessean (Nashville) (tiered subscription model) (2/27) Share:

House bill seeks to increase songwriter royalties | Broadcasters point to criticism of Aereo by Ginsburg's daughter | Schurz exec: JSAs have helped local news, advertisers Web Version

News for broadcast and electronic media leaders SIGN UP|FORWARD|ARCHIVE|ADVERTISE
Top Story House bill seeks to increase songwriter royalties
A House measure introduced Tuesday seeks to require the Copyright Royalty Board to include "fair market value" in its consideration of royalty rates for songwriters. The Songwriter Equity Act is being backed by BMI and ASCAP but faces opposition from broadcasters because of the additional burden it would place on stations. "NAB objects to changes in law that would deal with the financial imbalance between songwriters and artists by subjecting free broadcast radio stations to new fees," the group said in a statement. Billboard.com (2/25), Radio Ink (2/26), Radio World (2/25) Share:  Business & Industry Report Broadcasters point to criticism of Aereo by Ginsburg's daughter
The broadcast networks, in their Supreme Court petition to shut down Aereo, are citing the writings of Jane Ginsburg, a Columbia University law school professor and daughter of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The younger Ginsburg, in an article last year for the Media Institute, called a ruling in favor of Aereo "so inconsistent with statutory text and policy as to inspire surmise that the ruling was an April Fool’s prank." In related news, Aereo has gotten a 14-day reprieve on a temporary injunction against its operation in six states, pending a decision by a federal appeals court. Los Angeles Times (tiered subscription model)/Company Town blog (2/25), Deadline.com (2/25) Share:  Schurz exec: JSAs have helped local news, advertisers
The Federal Communications Commission at its meeting next month is expected to consider a change in regulations that would view broadcasters as owners of an outlet if they are responsible for securing more than 15% of its ad revenue. The FCC reportedly would give broadcasters two years to end pacts that don't fit the new criteria. Broadcasters oppose the change, which they said would hurt small-market stations. "There's demonstrable proof that the agreements have preserved newscasts and provided better vehicles for local advertisers," said Marci Burdick, senior vice president of broadcasting for Schurz Communications. The Wall Street Journal (tiered subscription model) (2/25) Share:  Walden cites Fairness Doctrine in bid to kill newsroom report
Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., chairman of the House communications subcommittee, says the Federal Communications Commission hasn't gone far enough in promising to revise a controversial newsroom study. He intends to craft a bill to end the study and conduct a hearing on it. "It took nearly 25 years to get the Fairness Doctrine off the books once it had been 'eliminated' in 1987, and we will do whatever it takes to ensure this study or any other effort by the government to control the output of America's newsrooms never sees the light of day," Walden said.

NBC's ratings for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, were more dominant than for the 2010 Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, despite smaller overall viewership, according to Nielsen data. NBC during the 18 nights of the Sochi Games commanded a 51% advantage among adults 18 to 49 and a 45% advantage in total viewers when compared with its top broadcast network competition. Olympic programming also topped the ratings every night, compared with 14 of 17 nights for Vancouver and eight of 17 for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. Variety (2/25) Share:

Networks to high court: Unauthorized Aereo violates copyrights | NAB says sports blackout rules "remain a necessity" | Related: Group wants probe of NFL's alleged pressure on broadcasters to buy tickets Web Version

News for broadcast and electronic media leaders SIGN UP|FORWARD|ARCHIVE|ADVERTISE
Top StorySponsored By Networks to high court: Unauthorized Aereo violates copyrights
The broadcast networks' lawsuit against Aereo is a test of "the basic right of every copyright holder to determine if, when, and how to make its copyrighted work available to the public," according to a Supreme Court filing by the networks. Copyright law "does not tolerate business models premised on the unauthorized exploitation of the copyrighted works of others," the networks write. "Aereo's massive, for-profit scheme ... is no exception." Variety (2/24) Share:  Shure Broadcast Headsets: Hear and be heard.Clear sound, even in loud environments.

The Federal Communications Commission's proposal to end blackout rules for sports in local TV markets would result in a "net negative" for viewers because it would lead to leagues shifting their games to pay TV, NAB said in a filing. "Unfortunately, given the interconnection between the Commission's rules governing broadcast carriage on pay TV and the copyright laws -- especially the distant signal compulsory copyright laws -- no better solution exists and the Commission's sports blackout rules remain a necessity," NAB writes.

NBC's audience for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, was off by 12% compared with the 2010 Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, but still delivered 6% more viewers than the 2006 edition in Turin, Italy, the network reports. The Sochi games garnered 21.4 million viewers on average in prime time, compared with 24.4 million for Vancouver and 20.2 million for Turin. However, the figures for Sochi do not include online audiences; NBC offered live streams of all events to pay-TV customers. The Wall Street Journal (tiered subscription model) (2/24) Share:

Netflix's much-buzzed-about series "House of Cards" is not a hit by broadcast standards -- the series' second season garnered an estimated 2 million to 3 million viewers for its first weekend. CBS' "NCIS," in comparison, averages 17 million viewers each week. However, the goal of such original content for HBO and Netflix is to convince people to purchase subscriptions, not to buy products pitched in ads, so the need for big audiences is not as great as on network TV, Derek Thompson writes.

PROVINCETOWN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Provincetown, Massachusetts - USA                       June 17 to 23, 2014

2/11/2014

0 Comments

 
In the Spotlight today is the 16th Annual Provincetown International Film Festival (PIFF), celebrating exciting achievements in international film while advancing the careers of stellar independent artists. Newly expanded to a full week of documentary, animated, and narrative feature films, short films, and student projects, PIFF offers something for everyone -- all while taking full advantage of its gorgeous Cape Cod surroundings. As America's oldest arts colony, Provincetown has long played host to luminaries from Eugene O'Neill to Quentin Tarantino, helping make it an ideal environment for unveiling the future of cinema.

Each year, more than 10,000 attendees descend upon PIFF with an eye for great talent and an itch to network. Filmmakers, producers, actors, students, and media outlets from across the United States regularly converge at this festival and exit Provincetown infused with big ideas and extraordinary new connections. It's all part of a welcoming, energizing experience designed to foster creativity in all who visit. Participating filmmakers even get complimentary bike rentals and bike locks to maximize their freedom to explore Providence in style.

PIFF prize-winning films are recognized at a lavish Closing Night Awards Ceremony, during which more than $5,000 USD in cash awards are distributed to films recognized by audience vote and jury selection. There's even a John Schlesinger Award for First-Time Filmmakers -- a cool $1,000 investment in a storyteller with a bright future.

   

UPCOMING DEADLINE
February 24, 2014 - Late Deadline

MISSION AND OBJECTIVE
PIFF is dedicated to showcasing new achievements in independent film and to honoring the work of acclaimed and emerging directors, producers, and actors.

MORE ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The signature honor of the PIFF experience, the Filmmaker on the Edge Award has defined the impressive tone of the festival and has celebrated Darren Aronofsky, Todd Haynes, Guy Madden, Todd Solondz, Gus Van Sant, and other wildly respected talents. Even better, the relaxed, community-building nature of PIFF allows every festival participant to develop new connections with the artists they admire.
