''The Daily Buzz'' (abbreviated ''"theDBZ"'') was a nationally-syndicated breakfast television news and infotainment program. Owned and produced by Mojo Brands Media, the show originated every weekday morning from studios at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. In general contrast to its network counterparts, ''The Daily Buzz'' catered to a younger-skewing audience demographic, employing an informal atmosphere and a drive-time radio-style approach to lifestyle and entertainment topics. Premiering on 10 stations (all owned by the show's founding owner, ACME Communications) on September 16, 2002, ''The Daily Buzz'' was carried on stations in 149 U.S. television markets at the time of its cancellation on April 17, 2015. The show originally aired for three hours, originally live from 6:00–9:00 a.m. (ETZ), with the show shortened to a two-hour time slot (5:00–7:00 a.m. ETZ) for its last years on air; start and running times varied by market (some stations aired only portions of the program). For most of its time on air, The CW Plus and its predecessor, The WB 100+ Station Group, carried the show in most smaller markets. ''The Daily Buzz'' was also featured on the schedules of the Youtoo TV and Soul of the South networks,〔http://mojobrandsmedia.com/the-daily-buzz/clearance-list/〕 streamed live-to-air on the program's website (TheDBZ.com), and uploaded daily to Hulu.〔http://www.hulu.com/the-daily-buzz〕 ==Production history== For the first two years of its existence, ''The Daily Buzz'' broadcast out of then-ACME-owned WBDT in Dayton, Ohio. The show moved to the Orlando area in August 2004, initially broadcasting from WKCF's Lake Mary studios. The move came as part of a deal in which Emmis Communications, which owned WKCF, acquired a 50% interest in the show as of January 1, 2004. In early 2007, WKCF moved to WESH's studios in Winter Park after WESH owners Hearst-Argyle Television acquired WKCF to create a duopoly in the Orlando market; soon afterward, Emmis sold its stake in ''The Daily Buzz'' back to ACME. In mid-April 2007, the show's previous studios were acquired by Trinity Broadcasting Network and Good Life Broadcasting for new studios for their respective stations, WTGL-TV (now WHLV-TV) and WLCB-TV (the present-day WTGL).〔http://rogersimmons.com/tv/2006_11_01_archive.html〕 At this time, the show changed Orlando affiliates, from WKCF to WRDQ, and also moved to a temporary home inside the Disney-MGM Studios. ''The Daily Buzz'' spent six weeks at the Disney facilities until new, permanent studios were completed on the campus of Full Sail University in Winter Park in June 2007.〔(Full Sail: Full Sail News: Nationally Syndicated Show Broadcasts from Full Sail's Studios )〕 ''The Daily Buzz's'' first show at Full Sail aired on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, and they continued to broadcast there until the show's cancellation. In 2010, Fisher Communications joined ACME Communications on a licensing and consulting agreement for ''The Daily Buzz''. The agreement allowed Fisher to take over production of the show on ACME's behalf (they would move production to HD in 2010), and gave Fisher the option of purchasing the show from ACME. The agreement also allowed Fisher to create Buzz Brands, a service that offered multimedia content, both local in nature and from ''The Daily Buzz'', to local affiliates for multiple media platforms (including TV, online, and even radio).〔〔(Source: ACME Communications press release from 4/21/2010 )〕 The first Buzz Brand platform to launch was "GalTime," a female-oriented platform that began with an October 2010 soft launch before expanding nationwide in early 2011;〔(Local With A Multiplatform Focus" ), from tvnewscheck.com, 2/24/2011〕〔("Fisher Communications Launches GalTime in 134 Markets Nationwide" ), press release from Fisher Communications via marketwire.com, 3/1/2011〕 "HeadDrama," which is geared toward advice on mental health concerns, became the second Buzz Brand platform in May 2011.〔("Fisher Launches 'Head Drama' Localized Web Channel," ) from ''Broadcasting & Cable'', 5/5/2011〕 All of the "Buzz Brand" platforms would eventually be phased out, though content from ''Emotional Mojo'', a Mojo Brands-produced program featuring advice on personal development, would be featured on ''Buzz'' segments until its cancellation. On August 6, 2012, the program introduced a new anchor team that featured actor Charles Divins; veteran TV anchor Lisa Spooner; ''CMT’s Top 20 Countdown'' host Lance Smith; and radio personality Jessica Reyes. Original co-host Andrea Jackson remained with the program until October 2013, while Andy Campbell, Mitch English and Kia Malone left the series.〔("‘The Daily Buzz’ debuts new team Aug. 6," ) from ''Orlando Sentinel'', July 16, 2012.〕 By the first quarter of 2013, ''Daily Buzz'' owner ACME Communications and operator Fisher Communications had been in the process of a gradual exit from the television business (ACME sold its last remaining TV stations in 2012, while Fisher was in the process of being merged into Sinclair Broadcast Group). On April 1, 2013, ACME sold ''The Daily Buzz'' (the company's last television asset) to Mojo Brands Media.〔〔 As part of the transaction, Sinclair began to broadcast the program on some of its stations beginning in the 2013-14 season; the group had previously not carried the show despite being one of the largest WB/UPN/CW/MyNetworkTV affiliate groups, preferring to carry E/I or paid programming on their netlet stations instead. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Daily Buzz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
