It's Monday, December 4, 2006, and this is your first early morning Multi-Cultural briefing. HISPANIC MARKET: A Thursday petition from Telemundo to the FCC asks the Commission to deny the license renewal request of California-based KAZA-TV. The U.S. Spanish-language network accused the Mexican TV Azteca of defrauding investors on a large scale and physically threatening Telemundo personnel and operations in Mexico. The petition states that TV Azteca, a KAZA principal, has "flagrantly violated U.S. securities laws to enrich themselves by more than $200 million at the expense of TV Azteca's U.S. and Mexican shareholders … In Mexico, TV Azteca has used strong-armed tactics -- including armed raids -- against legitimate U.S. business operations in Mexico to prevent them from competing lawfully against TV Azteca in its home country." Citing these actions, the U.S. network asked the FCC to deny the renewal. TV Azteca responded with "We don't think these complaints have any legal merit. This is a PR ploy designed to hurt the image of TV Azteca and its subsidiaries due to our growth in the U.S. Hispanic market." Another statement by the Mexican company indicated that TV Azteca actually leased KAZA TV from Pappas as part of financial agreement. LATAM MARKET: Turner International has become the first American company to include a local network in its portfolio offerings following its recent agreement to distribute Brazil's brand new extreme sports channel Woohoo. As part of their deal, the U.S. company will shop the Portuguese-language channel to both local and global operators in addition to handling ad sales and marketing campaigns, according to Variety. The Rio de Janeiro-based Woohoo produces the vast majority of its programming.
