Obama Speech: Bigger Than 'Idol' Finale
By Roger Catlin on August 29, 2008 11:43 PM | Permalink | Comments (1)
More than 40 million people likely watched Barack Obama's acceptance speech Thursday, Nielsen said, besting the "American Idol" finale in May, the Academy Awards and the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics.
With more than a fourth of the nation tuned in, it may be the most watched convention speech ever.
Only the Super Bowl and three other playoff games had more people watching this year, Nielsen said.
It nearly doubled the number of people watching John Kerry's acceptance speech four years ago (possibly having something to do with realative strengths of oratory).
Of course the speech was carried on eleven networks (as opposed to the "Idol" finale).But the four days of the convention in Denver averaged 22.5 million households -- far more than any previously recorded.
Ten commercial networks carrying the speech -- ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, BET, TV One, Univision and Telemundo.-- brought in 38,4 million viewers, Nielsen said. And PBS, which isn't counted by Nielsen drew its own record amount of viewers -- 4 million.
(And all of this doesn't count CSPAN, where I was doing my watching).
It was a big audience, but maybe not Michael Jackson big. The Obama speech was the fifth highest rated non-sports broadcast watched by African-Americans in the last 11 years (No.1 was Jackson's oddball 30th anniversary concert featuring a reunion of the Jacksons in 2001).
CNN was first among networks -- even the broadcast ones -- with 8.1 million watching. ABC was next with 6.6 million for their hour of coverage, NBC third with 6.1 million, CBS trailing with 4.7 million.
Fox News' 4.12 million narrowly edged MSNBC's 4.1 million.
The Republicans will have to do a lot from St. Paul next week to match those numbers.

Rodgers & Hammerstein Show Tunes Catalog For Sale
September 02, 2008 - Publishing
By Reuters
The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization is in talks to sell its catalog of Broadway musical show tunes and standards to major music companies for between $150 million and $200 million, according to people familiar with the matter.
EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Universal Music Publishing and Warner/Chappell Music Publishing are all looking over the catalog, which includes songs from shows including "The Sound of Music," "The King and I" and "South Pacific."
The catalog includes over 3,000 songs by founder songwriters Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II and nearly 100 other writers like Irving Berlin and Lorenz Hart.
The company is said to be looking for more than $250 million, according to the people who spoke with Reuters on condition of anonymity. But several of these people expressed doubt that music company bids for Rodgers & Hammerstein would go higher than $200 million.
The Rodgers & Hammerstein catalog has also attracted interest from hedge funds and private equity companies, which are attracted to song publishing assets as a source of regular cash flows through song licensing.
Rodgers & Hammerstein spokesman Bert Fink declined to comment on the matter.
Publishing companies can make new revenue from catalog assets by licensing show tunes for use in a range of outlets such as advertising, video and television, in a process known as synchronization.
"This catalog has not been exploited to its full potential," said one person.

Michael Jackson hangs out with Anderson?
Michael Jackson has reportedly enjoyed private meetings with Pamela Anderson.
Jackson agreed to meet the former Playboy model for a string of dates in Malibu, reports The Mirror.
"It was all arranged by their people in total secrecy, very cloak and dagger," said a source.
"They arrived separately at the Shutters Hotel on Malibu Beach so no-one would suspect anything, and then had a few drinks in the bar."
The insider continued: "They were very chatty. Pamela was being her usual flirty self and Michael seemed to be responding. They are such a strange couple but they seemed to really hit it off.
"They chatted about Michael turning 50, his new album, their kids. And he seemed genuinely interested in Pamela."
