Amazon Books Return To New York’s Beacon Theatre For May Upfront Presentation
Amazon is returning to New York’s Beacon Theatre for its annual upfront presentation to advertisers, slating the event for Monday, May 11. The timing on the first night of a series of major upfronts, which was announced by the company at the start of CES in Las Vegas, is a reprise of last year’s lineup. Amazon hosted ad buyers at the Beacon last year, its third full-tilt upfront since throwing the switch to start running ads on Prime Video programming in early 2024.

Le travail que c'est d'aller chercher de nouvelles séries, de nouveaux talents, la marketer, faire en sorte que les regarde et continuent de la regarder. C'est super chiant. Crois bien qu'ils préféreraient s'épargner tout ce cirque à chaque upfronts

AMC did their upfronts in April last year were so close guys…
We can make it!

The evening news has low ratings and pharma as sponsors. All this nonsense isn’t going to impress anyone at upfronts. Sad times ahead.

“During ‘sweeps’ & ‘upfronts’ Trump would offer free hotel rooms to NBC/Universal execs at his Las Vegas hotel. Many of them took him up on it. IYKYK cocaine & escorts always come with strings attached in Trumpland. Just ask all the NYC developers”

I cannot wait for paramount’s upfronts this year 😄 Will anyone go??

This is the pre-upfront in Feb/March, detailing development. No video had been shot. I wasn’t at this meeting but I was also at the 1996 Upfronts! Where were you based as a reporter then?

Oh my god is that the 1996 upfronts at Carnegie Hall? I was there for that as a reporter! It’s the same event where I got to see parts of the first version of the “Ink” pilot and the cast of Steven Bochco’s “Public Morals” in their first and last public appearance!

I listened to the Game Awards for about an hour and saw 1 award (yay Jennifer English!) but it just felt like upfronts. Is it always like that?

Anyway I look forward to catching up tomorrow to see who won what. 😴

I will forever be annoyed that NBC marketing randomly created this red vortex promo image that wasn’t scripted and wasn’t motivated by the story, and then insisted we change our realistic aurora borealis effect so that the pilot VFX would match the poster for no reason just days before the upfronts.
This might be the worst menu selection I've seen. Instead of labelling things like episode selection or subtitles we just use small icons that don't say what they are.

Next you’ll be telling me that it was being hosted by Sean Micallef or something.

Upfronts haven’t typically been a thing, though of course broadcasters do get advertisers in a room to show off every now and again. Global (a radio broadcaster) did one recently.

The ABC Showcase, as they call it, seems to be more for promotion to media journos/audiences. I'm sure the BBC doesn't do upfronts, but apart from them, is it a thing in the UK?
November 20, 2025 at 6:49 AM
Why does the ABC run upfronts when the point of them is to excite advertisers enough to buy ads during the shows - and the ABc is ad free?
