Cynopsis: International & Multicultural
Edition 1/08/07 Good Morning. It's Monday, January 8, 2007, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Pirates beware! The U.S. Chamber of Commerce showed off its new 2007 business approach with copyright piracy as one of the key priorities this year. According to the governmental agency's figures, the infringements have cost the American economy close to $250 billion annually. One of the strategies includes investigating piracy within India's famous Bollywood movie industry while another centers on an international summit in China on the subject of bootlegging. Although India produces the most films annually, the country sees relatively little revenue due to illegal sales of copies. Sony's AXN and Fox are doing quite well in Spain, according to Grupo Corporacion Multimedia's TV Audience in 2006 report. The two, plus Spanish pay TV Canal Plus Espana were the top niche networks in the country in 2006 with AXN scoring a 4.8 share, followed by Fox with 4.5, and Canal Plus with 4.2. As for the total figure breakdown, cable and IPTV made up 8% of Spain's total television market. The other top niche channels included Canal Hollywood, Cartoon Network, NBC U's Canal 13, Paramount Comedy, Cosmopolitan, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network's Boomerang. York International licensed its entire library of over 200 films to Brainstorm Media for broadcast in the U.S. The company will also be making its way to NATPE 2007 next week. CROSS-MARKET: Program Call: Calling NATPE-ers…We will include a "cynopsized" NATPE international and multicultural program "Shopping List" in Cynopsis: Intl & MCE the week before the market. So send along your top 5 shows' title, availability date, number of episodes, length, type (i.e., movie, series, special, etc.) and genre in addition to your terms (barter, cash, etc.). If your company is interested in being included, please send a press release to by tomorrow! (FYI - The international listings pertain to non-U.S. companies bringing programming fare to NATPE or U.S. companies offering international content.) HISPANIC MARKET: ABC's Ugly Betty is now being offered through iTunes. In addition to having episodes from the season's start, the iTunes Store will make the new episodes available one day after their broadcast airing for $1.99 each.
