  • As It Looks Toward Rebrand, Paramount Network Turns to Premium Scripted Fare
    As It Looks Toward Rebrand, Paramount Network Turns to Premium Scripted Fare 03.30.2017 Viacom is preparing to turn niche male-focused network Spike into a general entertainment channel Paramount Network. The next step toward making that happen is finding high-quality scripted series to pair with its unscripted favorites - such as Lip Sync Battle, which Viacom renewed for season four on Thursday - as well as original sports and specials. "Our mission is to establish Paramount Network as a prime destination for premium storytelling," said Kevin Kay, president, Paramount Network, TV Land, and CMT in a statement. "From Alicia Silverstone as a trailblazing independent working mother in the 1970's to Michael Shannon as an FBI negotiator during the Branch Davidians dramatic standoff and siege, Paramount Network will be the home to compelling stories, unforgettable characters, and high quality production with a distinctive global appeal." The new network's new shows include American Woman, starring Silverstone and Mena Suvari; six-part limited series Waco, starring Shannon, John Leguizamo and Taylor Kitsch as David Koresh; a remake of the popular 1988 Winona Ryder-Christian Slater movie, Heathers; and two-hour documentary I Am Martin Luther King Jr. Both American Woman and Heathers came to Paramount Network from TV Land, reports Deadline, which Kay also oversees. Paramount Network also plans to reboot First Wives' Club, which had been in development but was eventually passed on by TV Land. Paramount Network plans to give that project another shot. As for Nashville, which moved to CMT this year, it has 11 more episodes to go in this season, after losing lead Connie Britton in the middle of the season.

  • Viacom to Regroup, Focus on Six Key Channels
    Viacom to Regroup, Focus on Six Key Channels 02.08.2017 Ahead of its earnings report on Thursday, Viacom CEO Bob Bakish will tell shareholders that the company is narrowing its focus to six key channel brands - Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. MTV, Comedy Central, BET and Spike - according to the Wall Street Journal. Viacom's board already has approved the plan. One of those brands, Spike, will be rebranded to the Paramount Network, reported the Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday. Kevin Kay will remain the head of the network, with the rebrand expected to launch in early 2018. Meanwhile, some of Viacom's smaller cable networks, such as TV Land and CMT, will likely see their budgets decline as Viacom shifts its attention to assets it sees as more key. "We must do everything we can to keep [our brands] strong and distinct as audiences fragment and content options proliferate," Viacom CEO Bob Bakish told shareholders at the company's annual meeting on Monday, reported the WSJ. The move is the first major change since Bakish was named permanent CEO in December, and Viacom decided in December not to pursue a merger with CBS. National Amusements - which is controlled by Sumner Redstone and his daughter, Shari - owns 80% of both companies but they are operated and publicly traded separately. RELATED: Viacom Withdraws Offer to Merge with CBS Focusing more on improving value at these six core networks is intended to make it easier to do distribution deals and keep networks on cable and satellite services. With the onset of cord-cutting and streaming, distributors are less inclined to acquire all of a programmer's networks.
