Eight programs make their debut on the April TV/video chart: - EWTN: EWTN News In Depth - Fox News: Fox News Saturday Night w/ Jimmy Failla - MSNBC: The Weekend - NBC 2 Orlando WESH: WESH 2 News at 6pm - NBC News NOW: NBC News Daily With Morgan Radford and Vicky Nguyen - Newsmax: Wendy Bell Common Sense - PBS: Amanpour and Company - RT: RT News Our analysts have now fully rated more than 580 TV/video sources (that’s over 3,100 human-rated episodes!), and only 64 of them are featured on April’s Static Media Bias Chart®.

But if you want to check our ratings on more TV/video sources, you can by using the Interactive Media Bias Chart on our website as well as on our free Media Bias Chart app, available for iPhone and Android.

On May 21, 2022, TV Tonight published an article written by David Knox titled, “Demystifying Seven’s ‘Screen of Dreams.’ In this article, Cyrus (Head of Delivery at InterKnowlogy), explained that Seven's ‘Screen of Dreams’ uses tech from the same developers (InterKnowlogy, again) behind CNN's ‘Magic Wall.’ While re-visiting this article, I became curious about the answers to a few possible follow-up questions. Luckily for me, Cyrus is a colleague of mine and was kind enough to oblige me with the answers. Questions addressed include: How do you take large amounts of "boring" data and make it interesting for the viewer? How do you find the balance of having just enough data on the screen to assist the story telling, without overwhelming the viewer? How are live broadcasting worst-case-scenarios tested? https://lnkd.in/gEEnnqD8

https://lnkd.in/dxu2JqEn The Television Critics semi-annual event used to mean something but with year round programming, technological changes and the proliferation of platforms among other factors it is pretty irrelevant and desperately needs to be reimagined.

Tubi's growth is impressive: 80 million monthly active users, and 46% of its audience is Black. But will it stay that way? Or will Tubi follow the Fox playbook? Fox, Tubi's parent company, got its start in broadcast in the early 90s with a strong focus on Black sitcoms and shows, like In Living Color, Martin, and Living Single. It focused on an underserved audience to build its ratings. That focus was temporary though. Fox leveraged its audience to land major sports packages and moved on to shows like That 70s Show, Ally McBeal, Malcolm in the Middle. In the 2000s, Fox had fewer shows targeted toward the viewers who helped build its base. Fox wasn't alone, UPN and The WB followed a similar trend in their programming patterns. The video streaming era is quite different than broadcast TV, but what will Tubi's future hold? We broke it all down on the latest Trapital memo.
