 |
VERIZON announced that it has reached over 1
million FiOS TV customers, making it the
10th-largest multichannel service provider in
the US. The company added over 700,000
customers during 2007, netting 226,000 in 4Q
alone. The rapid growth rate means it will
soon surpass Mediacom, which has 1.3 million
cable subscribers.
NIELSEN will use its social site
HeyNielsen.com to record commercial feedback
live during the Super Bowl. After each
commercial break, the site will ask its
32,000 members for ratings and commentary on
the spots. Nielsen's BuzzMetrics unit will
also measure commercial responses shared on
blogs, message boards and other online
forums.
SPECTRUM BIDDING in the 700 MHz auction has
reached $6.1 billion after a $2.4 billion
jump on Monday. The valuable C Block spectrum
is up to $3.42 billion. The NY Times believes
that two companies (one of which may be
Google) are fighting it out for the C block.
The nationwide D block, which will be shared
with public safety agencies, has received
little attention so far with only $472
million in bids.
NBC has acquired LX.TV for around $10
million. LX.TV produces New York-centric
"lifestyle programming," which NBC will use
as the basis for local programming in
multiple markets. The network says the
acquisition is part of an increased focus on
local content production and part of an
effort to grow its business "outside of the
traditional television space."
VISIBLE MEASURES has acquired Vidmeter and
Vidmetrix. Vidmeter provides rankings of the
top videos on the web while Vidmetrix
provides content creators with syndication
and tracking services. In related news,
TubeMogul has launched a line of premium
services for online video producers. The new
services offer increased control of
syndication and enhanced statistical analysis
of video performance.
LIBERTY MEDIA is heating up its battle with
Barry Diller and IAC, filing court papers to
have Diller removed from IAC's board. Liberty
is also maneuvering to reclaim control of its
voting power, which currently sits in
Diller's hands through a proxy agreement.
Liberty is accusing Diller of misconduct
while Diller simply accuses Liberty of being
"insane."
PLUS: The WGA has reached an interim deal
with the Grammy's that will bring Guild
writers to the awards show. ENDEMOL, the
producer of Deal or No Deal, will team up
with Metacafe for an online trivia show
called "Buzzed." Lastly, TREMOR MEDIA will
partner with DIGITALSMITHS to bring
contextual ads to the large Tremor network.
