Time Warner Cable started passing out free TV antennas on Friday so the three million subscribers affected by its CBS blackout could watch the net’s programming. Customers who didn’t pick up one of the freebies were offered a $20 credit at Best Buy toward the purchase of an antenna. The move comes on the heels of a memo CBS chairman Leslie Moonves sent to his staff on Thursday, pointing to Time Warner Cable’s “lack of urgency” in settling the companies’ retransmission fee dispute. “We regret CBS has put our customers in this position by continuing to withhold its channels,” TWC emailed its customers Friday. “We are trying to strike a balance between our desire to restore the channels as soon as possible and our responsibility to all our customers to hold down the rising cost of TV.” In week four of the standoff, BTIG media analyst Richard Greenfield, who predicted from the beginning it would be a protracted fight, tells Cynopsis, “This is going to take a while longer.”

Music producer Dr. Luke (aka Lukasz Gottwald) has signed on as a judge for American Idol‘s thirteenth season on Fox. He joins Keith Urban, back for a second round, and Jennifer Lopez, who was on the judging panel for seasons ten and eleven. Idol is giving up star power but gaining industry cred with the choice: Luke’s no household name, but he’s the man behind monster hits like Kelly Clarkson’s Since U Been Gone and Katy Perry‘s California Gurls. Idol returns Wednesday, January 15, 2014.

Uncertainty about ratings didn’t keep advertisers away from Sunday’s Video Music Awards on MTV. After a 50% drop in ratings versus an all-time high of over 12 million viewers in 2011, sponsorship for this year’s show brought “the highest level of revenue we’ve ever produced for a show,” Jeff Lucas, head of sales for Viacom Media Networks‘ music & entertainment, advertising sales & marketing group, told Billboard, crediting a partnership with Twitter Amplify with helping achieve gains. “Last year’s show was still the most social event, generating almost 15 million tweets,” said Lucas. “If you look at last year’s awards, we had 22 deep integrations with clients into the show. And clients were very happy with having the ability to use customized content to reach that very special audience the VMAs can deliver.” Brooklyn rocked last night as the 2013 MTV VIdeo Music Awards were broadcast live from The Barclay Center. Cynopsis Media was there as some of the greats including Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke and Kanye took to the stage. But the highlight of the night was Justin Timberlake, who had the crowd on their feet nonstop. The long awaited N’SYNC reunion was the crowd pleaser of the evening.
