Wednesday 1:47 PM AMC Networks' (AMCX -0.1%) Mad Men ratings have been soaring, and Netflix (NFLX +3%), which last year struck a costly deal to carry old episodes, is taking credit. The 1.1M viewer increase seen for the debut episode of Season 5 relative to Season 4's average is the result of viewers watching earlier seasons on Netflix, suggests content chief Ted Sarandos. His comments come as many suspect Netflix is hurting ratings for Disney (DIS) and Viacom's (VIA) kids TV shows.

- Wednesday 1:08 PM A panel of sports TV execs see the prices for the rights to televise major sports events continuing to rise - a sentiment that seemingly flies in the face of word that Comcast will lose money on the London Olympics and GM will opt out of Super Bowl advertising. The rationale behind the hefty premium is that live sports programming delivers a highly-targeted audience and is fast becoming the last bastion of appointment viewing with digital recording of popular shows growing.

- Wednesday 11:11 AM Disney (DIS -0.8%) CEO Robert Iger says the firm will pull the plug on programming if Dish Network's (DISH -1.0%) commercial-skipping service takes off as he dangles Dancing with the Stars as a potential high-profile casualty. While it's very early in the fight, the question of the survivability of commercial-laced TV programming has to be raised with the coming onslaught of original programming from players such as NetFlix, Amazon, Yahoo, Google, Hulu, and others that go lighter on the ads. [Consumer]
- Tuesday 2:04 PM The National Association of Broadcasters files a federal court appeal to prevent new rules from being implemented that require political ad sponsors to be identified online. The big 4 networks - owned by Disney (DIS), CBS, News Corp. (NWSA), and Comcast (CMCSA) - argue public disclosure of their information and advertising rates gives an unfair advantage to cable and Internet rivals unaffected by the legislation. [Consumer]
- Tuesday 12:05 PM InterActiveCorp-backed (IACI +1.1%) Aereo succeeds in getting an unfair competition claim that was part of a lawsuit attempting to shut down its $12/month local TV streaming service dismissed. A ruling is still pending on a copyright infringement claim. Broadcasters such as CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox accuse Aereo of depriving them of retransmission fees from pay-TV providers (ed: the pay-TV providers aren't thrilled about paying for content that's aired for free).

- Monday 11:58 AM Hulu continues to add to its arsenal of original content (previous). The latest additions include movie-review show Spoilers, travel series Up to Speed, and U.K.-based comedy Rev. Netflix (NFLX) has been investing in plenty of original content of its own. [Tech, Consumer]
- Monday 11:36 AM Comcast's (CMCSA +0.2%) Universal Studios ups the ante in its bid to take more market share from Disney's (DIS +0.2%) array of amusement parks with new attractions linked to the highly-popular Harry Potter series of books and movies - as well as debuting rides based on Transformers and Spider-Man. Though Disney says a rising tide lifts all boats in the Orlando market, privately execs fret over the gains Universal has made.
