- Before Marv Albert and Bob Costas, there was Marty Glickman. A gifted Jewish-American athlete who was denied the chance to represent the U.S. at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, he went on to become one of the most revered and influential sportscasters in history, pioneering many of the techniques, phrases and programming innovations that are commonplace in sports reporting today. Chronicling his remarkable life and career, Glickman debuts Monday at 9:00 exclusively on HBO. Check out the trailer below:
- Every fall TV season brings hits and misses but NewMediaMetrics has just released the top new shows that are sure to be a success. The brand-strategy and content-alignment company has released today its annual Fall TV predictions via its 2013 LEAP TV Study, which includes its performance predictions for the 2013 fall TV season. For the past seven years, NMM has made these predictions with more than 80 percent accuracy by measuring consumers’ Emotional Attachment (EA) to show concepts – a nod to how the media industry should assess content with an evaluation at the front end of the production process. So according to NMM look for The Lucky Ones and The Michael J Fox Show to succeed and do not get to attached to Sean Saves the World or Super Fun Night (apparently it is easier to predict comedies).
- On Friday, September 6 at 9:00, Chiller presents the second installment of its successful Real Fear franchise with the premiere of Real Fear 2: The Truth Behind (More) Movies. In this two-hour special, paranormal investigators Richard Dolan, Katrina Weidman, John McGarry, Chris Holt and Becky Weingrad explore the terrifying factual stories that served as the basis for some of the scariest horror movies of all time. The team is also joined by renowned psychic Chip Coffey and paranormal researcher John Zaffis, who lend their expertise in analyzing the accounts.
- Last week TNT did their summer renews and this week its sister station TBS has followed suit by renewing its summer offerings Sullivan and Sons, Men at Work, and Deal with It.
- Syfy is expanding its growing slate of reality programming with Camera Ready, an all-new competition reality series from Mission Control Media (Face Off) now in development. On Camera Ready, ten visionary costume designers will stretch imagination and artistry by competing in challenges to create works of costume art for film, television and music videos. Each week, the contestants will realize fantastical characters through their dazzling costume creations, incorporating non-traditional materials and technology – such as fiber optics – into some pieces. The contestants will be judged by a panel of industry heavy-weights - from Oscar-winning costume designers, cutting-edge directors and avant-garde fashionistas – with one designer ultimately taking home the $100,000 grand prize.
- Two Southern icons, Cheerwine and The The Avett Brothers, have teamed up again to share The Legendary Giveback II, a night of music to benefit family-focused organizations, with their Carolina roots. On Thursday, November 14, the Grammy-nominated indie rockers will take the stage at North Charleston Coliseum in South Carolina for one concert, in one town, for one night bringing fans of Cheerwine and The Avett Brothers together to help give back. Proceeds from the event's ticket sales will go to three family-aid organizations that provide services locally: Big Brothers Big Sisters, Operation Homefront and The Children's Hospital of South Carolina at MUSC.
- Golightly Media is proud to announce that Brooklyn based singer/songwriter, Aly Tadros, just released her brand new video on Guitar World. The New York singer/songwriter (by way of Austin) told the mag, "Whim' was intended to be an old folk duet. We originally wrote it on Ben's resonator, but once we got into the studio, my Guild D-55 sounded too crisp not to use. The intricate fingerpicking is on Juanita, my vihuela. She's a traditional five-string mariachi instrument from Michoacan. I'm pretty sure I almost died three times driving across Mexico to get her."
- Syfy’s hit unscripted series Ghost Mine dusts off its blasting caps and infrared cameras to dig even deeper into the mine’s paranormal mystery when Season 2 premieres Wednesday, September 4 at 10
