Filed under: Industry, TV on DVD, Reality-Free

By now, Television fans are getting used to some of their favorite shows being edited when they’re released on DVD. Sometimes this is because syndicated versions of the shows are used (why I’ve no idea) and sometimes it’s because they couldn’t get the rights to use certain music/songs on the DVD so they have to take them out and/or replace them with different music. It’s this latter point that has fans of The Fugitive up in arms.

For the release of The Fugitive: Season Two, Volume One (oh, I hate these volume releases, but that’s for another post), CBS Home Entertainment not only replaced music in certain scenes and certain episodes, they absolutely stripped all of the music (except the title theme) from certain episodes and did it over with soundalike versions. They also replaced the music that plays over the closing credits.

Filed under: Industry, WGA Strike, Reality-Free

Oh, if only the “reality-free” tag above meant something else when it comes to this.

Just when you thought you could sit back in your comfy chair and watch Television this fall, comes news that possible Screen Actor’s Guild strike that has been talked about for weeks is very close to actually happening. The deadline is June 30, and while a lot of people in the industry thought that the contracts signed at the end of the writer’s strike earlier this year (ah, remember those days?) could serve as a blueprint, that might not be the case.

Television syndication upfront ad sales are brisk, with syndicators expected to sell higher levels of ad inventory, similar to the broadcast networks.

Sales are more than 50% complete, with one syndicator, Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution, more than 70% sold out of its 2008-09 ad inventory, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

What’s it all mean? It means that syndication upfront totals are expected to be around $2.4 billion, up 4.5% from last year.

Maybe one reason is that syndicators are incorporating more product integration into their packages, especially with talk and entertainment shows. Strong categories include packaged goods, pharmaceuticals, movies, and fast food.

Hmmm … I wonder what they’re saying. That Television viewers sit around eating Massive Macs, doing drugs, and woofing down Cheetos? Yeah, that can’t be right.
