E.W. Scripps is emphasizing women’s sports on broadcast network Ion and more targeted programming on Court TV and Bounce in its upfront presentation to advertisers.

Ahead of its Wednesday evening event at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, home of the WNBA’s reigning champion New York Liberty, the company made a set of programming announcements.

Two new sports ventures are joining the Ion lineup. One is the Elevance Health Women’s Fort Myers Tip-Off, an early season college basketball tournament held over Thanksgiving weekend. Scripps Sports has locked up rights for five years from the agency Intersport, which manages the tournament.

Since launching in 2022, the Fort Myers Tip-Off has been a draw for prominent teams, among them South Carolina, Tennessee, Maryland, Purdue and others.

Scripps is also teaming with media outlet Sports Illustrated on the Si Women’s Games, a biennial all-star competition featuring elite athletes in six sports.

E.W. Scripps aims to build new franchises in women’s sports at a moment when bigger rivals are hoping to do the same.

After striking rights deals last year for Scripps that put a Friday-night WNBA showcase as well as Saturday-night doubleheaders from the National Women’s Soccer League on its Ion broadcast network, Scripps aims to build new franchises.

In the fall of 2025, Ion will launch the Si Women’s Games in partnership with Sports Illustrated. Between 28 and November 2, 2025, female athletes will compete in a week-long series of team and individual competitions across basketball, gymnastics, tennis, volleyball and combat sports. Ion will also serve as the exclusive television home of the Elevance Health Women’s Fort Myers Tip-Off, a premier early season college basketball tournament, for the next five years as part of a new multiyear agreement between Scripps Sports and Intersport, the agency which manages the tournament.

ITV's new series brings in Rosamund Pike as voice of Lady Penelope, with David Graham returning as chauffeur Parker

Rosamund Pike will provide the voice of Lady Penelope in the new ITV version of Thunderbirds in a cast that also includes Fonejacker's Kayvan Novak.

However, some things remain the same: David Graham, who provided the distinctive nasal tones of Lady Penelope's chauffeur, Parker, in the original 1960s children's series, is to reprise the role.

Pike, the actor best known for her role as a double agent opposite Pierce Brosnan in James Bond film Die Another Die, said she was "very excited to bring Lady Penelope's wry wit and taste for adventure to a new generation".

The new series, which will be called Thunderbirds are Go!, also sees the return of Graham as the voice of Parker. Graham voiced Parker, along with three other puppet characters, in the original series...

This article also appears in the current issue of If (#146, April-May 2012). The print article incorrectly reported that Framestore was responsible for the for the animation and shading of the polar bears, when the work was actually completed by Animal Logic. The error has been corrected.

An audience of more than 111 million American football fanatics is enough to inspire great VFX work. For director David Scott and his team at Australian VFX house Animal Logic that work involved creating realistic CGI polar bears in three Coca-Cola spots (Catch, Superstition and Arghh) that aired at this year.s Superbowl.

.I think the difference between these spots to how the polar bears had been seen before was that in a lot of the older commercials, it was sort of centred around family, so you.d have a polar bear family doing what they do . whereas this was quite specifically targeting people at home watching the Superbowl,...

Previs and lensing director David Scott explains how director Zack Snyder wanted all camera work in Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole to look like it had been shot by a real owl-sized camera crew.

I was told that director Zack Snyder is not a big fan of having the backgrounds in his films in focus. Was this a challenge, working in 3D?

Shooting shallow focus in 3D was difficult, but it was essential to have in the film because it’s about owls and most of the film is set at night. Zack wanted to make sure all of the camera work in the film looked as though it was operated and photographed by a real owl-sized camera crew, and if you were to shoot owls at night the aperture needs to be wide open.

Backgrounds out-of-focus weren’t so much a problem as foregrounds. Rack...
