Multi-Cultural & International Edition 12/18/06 Good Morning. It's Monday, December 18, 2006, and this is your first early morning Multi-Cultural briefing. HISPANIC MARKET: Mega TV's Paparazzi TV celeb journalism show will include a series of special broadcasts about the alleged squandering of Celia Cruz's inheritance, the late Queen of Salsa. The broadcasts begin today at 7p. Headed by Graciela Mori, Frank Cairo and Fernando Castells, Paparazzi TV will investigate this developing celebrity scandal. LATAM MARKET: Mexico has decided to only look into the possibilities of new television and radio networks in local markets rather than a potential third national network in addition to Televisa and TV Azteca. This announcement stops NBC Telemundo's current chances of following its previously announced desire to start a Mexican network. The comments from Mexico's new Minister of Communications and Transport, Luis Tellez, were the first regarding NBC Telemundo's hopes since the new Mexican president came into office at the beginning of the month according to Variety. The government did state, however, that a relaxing of U.S. foreign ownership regulations might encourage it to loosen up its own. Nielsen EDI and Variety's Top 10 Mexican Box Office Estimates for December 8-14, 2006 will be posted as soon as they become available. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Claxson Interactive Group has sold seven Latin American pay television networks to Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) for close to $235 million, including Fashion TV, HTV, Infinito, I.Sat, MuchMusic, Retro and Space. The networks combined have an estimated 51 million subscribers. Claxson will continue to hold DMX, Digital Latin America, MUSIC Latin America, and Playboy TV Latin America as well as its Chilean broadcast radio interests, and broadband and Internet unit. Additionally, TBS will take on the sales rep duties for both Claxson and Latin American and third party-owned networks, bringing TBS' Latin American channel portfolio to 13 wholly-owned networks and 10 represented networks. Turner Broadcasting System Latin America currently operates CNN International, TNT, Cartoon Network, CNN en Espanol, Boomerang and TCM Classic Hollywood, collectively reaching some 85 million households in the region. Entertainment Rights Plc (ER) has entered into a deal to acquire U.S.-based Classic Media Holdings, Inc. for $210 million. Under the agreement, ER plans to further exploit Classic Media's existing catalogue to create new revenue streams including the expansion of Classic's licensing, music and new technology opportunities. ER's kids/teens/family portfolio of characters and brands, which already features Postman Pat, Rupert Bear and Transformers among others, will grow to include Classic Media's properties such as Casper the Friendly Ghost, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, VeggieTales, Lassie, and The Lone Ranger to name a few. When the deal is completed the group's combined portfolio will include some 8,700 episodes of programming targeted to a range of demos including preschoolers, kids, teens and families. Warner Bros. Entertainment has unveiled plans to make an $87 million equity investment for 10.3% of SCi Entertainment Group plc, a video game publisher and parent company of Eidos Interactive. Additionally, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group and SCi have inked a licensing and distribution deal for games based on Warner Bros. Entertainment properties. Under the deal Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment granted SCi licenses for the comic book versions of Batman, the Looney Tunes, select Hanna-Barbera titles and TV properties including Loonatics Unleashed, Legion of Super Heroes and The OC. Meanwhile, Eidos and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group has entered into a primary distribution pact under which Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group will provide warehousing, logistics, merchandising and media buying services in the US to Eidos. FremantleMedia Licensing Worldwide (FLW) inked deals with new licensees including, Headline Publishing, Eclipse Games, Mookie Toys, Acoustic Solutions and Magix AG for the U.K.'s televised talent search, The X Factor. For the first time FLW is expanding The X Factor brand into publishing and has licensed rights to Headline Publishing to produce a high-end coffee table book to accompany the show. Eclipse Games has been licensed rights to create The X Factor experiential game booth. In addition, Eclipse Games has also developed a Skill With Prize (SWP) slot machine. The SWP will be based on music trivia questions and will feature comments from Simon Cowell himself. Mookie Toys has been licensed rights to produce a raft of The X Factor electronic toys including a dance mat, disco ball, microphone and a table top game. These electronic toys are planned to launch in selected retailers in 2007. Additionally, Acoustic Solutions has been licensed rights to produce a range of The X Factor branded karaoke machines. FLW has also licensed rights to Magix AG to create a range of software products which include an MP3 maker and ring tone maker. And, speaking of FremantleMedia, FremantleMedia Enterprises signed two agreements for the Latin America with Sony Entertainment Television, including over 100 programming hours for the region, Brazil, and the Caribbean. This deal includes Falcon Beach (26x60 series and 1x120 pilot), American Inventor (1x120 premiere and 14x60 series), The IT Crowd (6x30), Comedy Inc. (22x30), and the U.S. version of Distraction (26x30). In a separate deal, Sony took the sixth season of American Idol. Buena Vista International Television and USEN Corporation's Japanese free, ad-supported broadband platform, GyaO, have signed a deal to offer its users films on demand. Some of the available free rentals include Snake Eyes and Starship Troopers. Papua New Guinea's HiTRON has launched the Disney Channel. The channel will be part of the TV/data service provider's basic tier. This will bring Disney's brand programming total to 380 Asian Pacific million homes in sixteen markets and nine languages. National Film Development Corporation of Malaysia has teamed up with the National Geographic Channels International (NGCI) to order up two 60-minute documentaries. The HD programs are resulting from the two companies' partnership a short time ago to encourage Malaysian filmmakers to produce. The two winning filmmakers' $200,000 budgeted productions will begin in January with NGCI producers and will air internationally on the channel. Over 80 applications were submitted. A new quiz show pilot is to be produced in the U.S. this week, under the recently agreed first look deal between Granada International and entertainment format creator/producer Mast Media. The Game Show Network has commissioned a pilot of word-based quiz War of the Words. Mast Media heads Steve Havers and Mark Baker will be executive producers on the pilot and on any subsequent series. The format is a simple, word-based quiz which plays on the fact that words have more than one meaning. EXECUTIVE MOVES: Winglatino has named Gustavo Asman as CCO. He was previously Executive Creative Director at Peru's Quorum/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi. He has received many awards in the past for his work at ad agencies such as J. Walter Thompson, Graffiti/DMB&B and Pragma/FCB, Ogilvy & Mather, and CP Comunicacion Proximity/BBDO. Answer to Yesterday's Trivia Question: On what show was Larry Dallas the neighbor?
