Kids are watching TV....

Friday was a huge night for kids’ TV, with Disney Channel airing the much-anticipated “Hannah Montana,” “Suite Life on Deck” and “Wizards of Waverly Place” crossover special
“Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana” averaged 3.8 million kids 6-11 and 3.7 million tweens 9-14, becoming the No. 2 show on broadcast or cable this year in those demos, behind only the Super Bowl.
“Wizards on Deck” was the most-watched Friday telecast on Disney since “High School Musical 2” drew more than 17 million viewers two years ago.

The latest Twitter hack appears to have been the result of guessing the password of company co-founder Evan Williams via GoogleApps service, according to reports. The cracked password allowed the hacker to access company finances, biz dev plans, spreadsheets and personal info., including details of his wife's computer. The hacker went so far as to send some of the juicy details to two prominent tech blogs - TechCrunch in S.F. and Korben in France ­ and TechCrunch published a document that pegs Twitter's revenues at $1.54 billion by 2013. (By this time, Twitter hopes to have a billion users worldwide.) Analysts shrugged off the projections as "overly optimistic," in the words of eMarketer's Paula Verna. Security experts utilized the whole affair to remind users to choose their passwords carefully and to remind IT departments to beef up encryption efforts.

Estamos en Primavera y con ella vienen los Upfronts que ya no son lo que eran antes. Adios al Glamour y a tirar la casa por la ventana para presentar nueva programación. Confórmense con conferencias de prensa. Esta semana Telemundo dió a conocer su programación para el 2009-2010 y por supuesto anunciaron producción original (bueno así como original de nadie más lo ha hecho antes,pues no) pero en cuanto a que la producen ellos eso que ni que.
En su ya comprobada exitosa fórmula de novelas colombianas, temas de narcotráfico y mujeres con menos ropa que cerebro nos traen las siguientes telenovelas:
"Nino Ricos, Pobres Padres" la versión corregida y aumentada de "Rebelde" pero sin canciones, espero. La protagonista será la actriz Carmen Villalobos (de "Sin senos no hay paraiso") chequen el promo en You tube....entre el reparto se menciona a Aldemar Correa, Johana Bahamón, Angélica Blandón, Katherine Siachoque, Gabriel “Elmer” Valenzuela, Andrés Fierro y a lo mejor Katie Barberi.
"Perro Amor" la cual suena a titulo de canción de Jose Alfredo porque claro no creo que podían haberle puesto Amor Perro porque todos la confundirian con la pelicula en plural. Esta novela de hecho es un remake, la original se hizo en 1998 en Colombia y es la historia de dos primos que son amantes y que basicamente se dedican a destruirle la vida a todo el que se les atraviesa. A el le dicen "el Perro", sin comentarios.
"Rosalinda y Primitivo" La historia de un típico triángulo de amor entre 2 medios hermanos enamorados de la misma mujer.
"La Reina del Sur" adaptación del libro de Arturo Perez Reverte, capa episodio costara de acuerdo a Telemundo $100,000 dolares y solo seran 50-70 episodios en total o sea una miniserie.
"Victorinos" la historia de 3 hombres que nacieron el mismo día y con el mismo nombre (vidas paralelas) y que no saben que ninguno de los otros existe , ésta novela ya se empezó a grabar en Colombia en los estudios de RTI y será protagonizada por Roberto Manrique y Juan Carlos Salazar.
Y por último la muy esperada nueva version de la novela brasilena "El Clon" , la produciran en conjunción con TV Globo y las locaciones seran California y los estudios de Telemundo en Colombia.

Riding KATV's 'Choose Your News' to Bigger Things
April 30, 2009

KATV Little Rock is smack in the middle of a “25 Cities in 25 Days” campaign that sees reporter Jessica Dean schlepping around Arkansas in an RV and filing stories on her findings in any number of digital ways, including streaming video and Twittering.



Prior to Dean’s trek, KATV made headlines by training multiple Webcams on Kristin Fisher (they were known as “Kristin-Cams”) as she went about her workday. Viewers communicated with Fisher and had a say in what reports she was following made it to air.

This is not news, but I just found out that Fisher is now at WUSA Washington, which has perhaps been the most vocal station around when it comes to multimedia journalists. Reporters jump for bigger stations in bigger markets every day, but one suspects that the mega-exposure Fisher got via the Kristin-Cams (as well as publicity in the local papers…columnist John Brummett absolutely abhored the Kristin-Cams…and, yes, Broadcasting & Cable), played a part in getting Fisher on the radar.

Y llega a los Estados Unidos por cortesia de Univision, la serie mexicana creación de Pedro Torres que se llama "Mujeres Asesinas" y que ha sido todo un éxito en México.
No se la pierdan manana.....
Y después de meses de estar fuera del aire Fernando del Rincon regresa a la televisión pero ahora a SBS Mega TV, será el nuevo conductor de el programa de espectáculos Papparazzi TV.
Y en la última de las batallas entre Univision y Televisa esta la de la guerra digital.
Univision dice que cuando le vendieron el contenido de las novelas le da derecho a usarlas en el internet.Televisa dice que ellos tiene el derecho sobre su contenido y quieren que el contenido este al alcance de los Estados Unidos pero a traves de Televisa no de Univision.
La fecha para Corte despues de una modificacion es Junio 9 del 2009.
Mi humilde opinion es que Univision solo compro los derechos para transmision en televisiony que si quiere usar el contenido en medio digital tiene que pagar. Independientemente de lo que ya pagaron en regalias en el otro juicio.
