[via press release from Paramount] Paramount Network Statement On Delaying The Premiere Of "Heathers"
Paramount Network's original series "Heathers" is a satirical comedy that takes creative risks in dealing with many of society's most challenging subjects ranging from personal identity to race and socio-economic status to gun violence. While we stand firmly behind the show, in light of the recent tragic events in Florida and out of respect for the victims, their families and loved ones, we feel the right thing to do is delay the premiere until later this year.

NBCUNIVERSAL REIMAGINES THE COMMERCIAL EXPERIENCE

NBCUNIVERSAL REIMAGINES THE COMMERCIAL EXPERIENCE

Cuts Advertising Clutter by 20% and Time by 10% In Prime Originals Across Portfolio
Increases Commercial Innovation Using Artificial IntelligenceTo Introduce New Contextually Relevant, 60 Second “PRIME POD”And New Advertising Formats for Stronger Brand Connection

FEBRUARY 28, 2018, NEW YORK — NBCUniversal today announced its plan to decrease the number of advertisements in commercial pods by 20 percent and decrease advertising time by 10 percent across its networks during its original primetime programming. The company will also launch a new 60 second contextually-programmed PRIME POD in the first or last break of a show dedicated to up to two advertisers for stronger impact with viewers.

In making the announcement, Linda Yaccarino, Chairman, Advertising and Client Partnerships, NBCUniversal said: "Sometimes, a little bit less means a whole lot more. The industry knows that television is already the most effective advertising medium there is, but we need to make the experience better for viewers. We promised some big swings last fall to move our industry forward and this is the first one. Now, NBCUniversal is advancing the TV experience as consumer behavior has evolved: lower ad loads, more innovation and more targeting. We’re reimagining the advertising experience for consumers, marketers, and the entire industry.”

Over the past five years, the video viewing environment has become more cluttered with more than 400,000 advertisements added[1]. Consumer behavior has shifted and as viewers have migrated to other platforms, advertising effectiveness has waned.


STARTING THIS FALLNBCUniversal’s audiences will see fewer, better ads that are more relevant than ever before. Less clutter and less ad time means there’s space for more. More premium content, more opportunity, and more commercial innovation.
Fewer Ads:
  • NBCUniversal will reduce the number of ads across its networks by 20%, and total ad time by 10% in Prime Originals across the entire portfolio.
  • The company is making reductions in more than 50 Primetime original shows across its entire portfolio.
Better Ads:
  • Research shows that innovative advertising products increase consumer engagement by more than 20%[2].
  • NBCUniversal will also unveil a suite of innovative new ad products including Interactive Picture in Picture and Social Commercials and Social First Pods.
  • Contextually targeted ads fuel greater consumer conversion and NBCUniversal will use a new artificial intelligence (AI)-based contextual content targeting product that combs through scripts and data sources to make every ad that much more contextually relevant to its audience.
More Relevant Ads:
  • NBCUniversal will use its unparalleled technology, tools, talent and creative capabilities to help clients’ advertisements resonate the most and deliver them in new ways.
  • NBCUniversal has created a new 60 second “PRIME POD” of National ad time in the first or last break of a show.
  • This transformative new pod, which will be dedicated to up to two advertisers, combines the power of fewer, better, and more contextually relevant ads, and gives clients a unique opportunity to connect with audiences in the most effective, exciting, and efficient way.

Video: Paramount Network Debuts Premiere "Yellowstone" Trailer Ahead of June 2018 Premiere
Starring world-renowned actor and Oscar(R)-winner Kevin Costner, who serves in the lead role, "Yellowstone" is written and directed by critically-acclaimed, Oscar(R)-nominated screenwriter Taylor Sheridan.
[via press release from Paramount] PARAMOUNT NETWORK DEBUTS PREMIERE "YELLOWSTONE" TRAILER AHEAD OF JUNE 2018 PREMIERE

Enclosed is the premiere trailer for "Yellowstone," premiering Wednesday, June 20 at 9:00 pm, ET/PT on Paramount Network.

Starring world-renowned actor and Oscar(R)-winner Kevin Costner, who serves in the lead role, "Yellowstone" is written and directed by critically-acclaimed, Oscar(R)-nominated screenwriter Taylor Sheridan (Wind River, Hell or High Water and Sicario). Sheridan recently won Best Director Un Certain Regard at the Cannes Film Festival for the universally-lauded film, Wind River.
The impressive cast list for "Yellowstone" includes Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Dave Annable, Danny Huston, Gil Birmingham, Josh Lucas, Jefferson White, Gretchen Mol, Jill Hennessey, Patrick St. Esprit, Ian Bohen, Heather Hemmons, and Denim Richards.

In "Yellowstone," Paramount Network's new epic scripted dramatic series, stars Costner as John Dutton, who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, under constant attack by those it borders - land developers, an Indian reservation, and America's first National Park. It is an intense study of a violent world far from media scrutiny -- where land grabs make developers billions, and politicians are bought and sold by the world's largest oil and lumber corporations. Where drinking water poisoned by fracking wells and unsolved murders are not news: they are a consequence of living in the new frontier. It is the best and worst of America seen through the eyes of a family that represents both.

"Yellowstone" was shot on location in Utah and Montana. Executive Producers for the series include John Linson, Art Linson, Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner. Ted Gold and Lauren Ruggerio are the executives in charge of production for Paramount Network.
