  • Gossip Girl Viral Promotion Problem Statement
    Group 4 - Round Table Media Case 14-1: Gossip Girl Viral Promotion Problem Statement: The CW’s show Gossip Girl has lost live viewers, which decreases the value of the advertising spots available during the show. The network seeks to increase live viewership by incentivizing viewers via a creative, viral campaign to watch Gossip Girl live instead of recording the show and watching it later. Critical Factors: A. The primary target market for this campaign is women, 18-24 years of age. The CW is the only network capturing women in this target. The secondary target market is college males. B. Increased use of digital video recorders, websites streaming television shows, and services like DirecTV and Tivo means that viewers are choosing to record shows and watch them later, and can fast forward through commercials.1 C. The CW has requested this campaign be a non-traditional and outside-the-box publicity and promotional campaign. The CW network executives highly admired Jack in the Box’s “Hang in There Jack” campaign and its use of non-traditional media. D. The CW Network has fourteen weeks to launch a viral Gossip Girl media campaign before the next season premiere, then the campaign will continue while Gossip Girl airs. E. Gossip Girl emphasizes fashion and technology, and is influential in these industries. F. The success of the promotional campaign will be measured by changes in ratings during the time of the campaign, and hopefully will result in a significant increase in ratings. G. Gossip Girl is one of The CW’s most popular series, so it is understood that we are working with a large budget.

  • The Impact of Retro Stadiums on Major League Baseball Franchises
    ABSTRACT MENEFEE, WILLIAM CHADWICK. The Impact of Retro Stadiums on Major League Baseball Franchises. (Under the direction of Dr. Judy Peel). The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of “retro” stadiums on professional baseball franchises. Retro stadiums, baseball-exclusive facilities modeled on classic architectural designs of the past, were built at an increasing rate beginning in 1992 with Baltimore’s Camden Yards. This study analyzed changes in franchises’ attendance, winning percentage, revenue and team value in the seasons following a team’s relocation to a retro stadium. Retro stadiums were found to positively increase attendance, revenue and team value for franchises at a higher rate than teams that did not build retro stadiums. An analysis of these variables and a discussion of the results for all individual franchises that constructed retro stadiums during the 1992-2004 period are presented in this study.

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.

  • Mitch Williams Secures $1.5M Verdict in Case Against MLB Network
