Cynopsis: International & Multicultural
Edition 1/11/07 Good Morning. It's Thursday, January 11, 2007, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: CanWest Global Communications Corp. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. private equity affiliate GS Capital Partners announced that a new acquisition company has signed a definitive agreement with Alliance Atlantis Communications Inc. to purchase its outstanding Class A voting and Class B non-voting shares for approximately $1.96 billion. The statutory Plan of Arrangement was signed by an indirect wholly-owned CanWest subsidiary. Alliance shareholders are expected to vote this spring on the acquisition, which is also subject to court approval. Here are the plans for the company:
International Broadcast Communications, Inc. licensed celeb profile series Famous to Germany's Star! Entertainment Factory, a joint venture between VCL, MME, CHUM and other German interests. The 26 30-minute series launched this week on the German network. The show focuses on the world's top celebrities and industry icons. Coming soon to more countries near you… The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency will debut soon in the following places following recent FremantleMedia sales to Ireland's TV3, Australia's Fox 8, Canada's Canwest Media Works, Finland's MTV3, Holland's RTL4, Belgium's VT4, Iceland's IBC, Israel's Hot Vision, Kenya's KTN, South Africa's Mnet, Hong Kong's TVB, Malaysia's Media Prima, Philippines' ABS-CBN, and Thailand's UBC. In addition Fremantle licensed the entire first series of The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency to Razor & Tie. The double-DVD set, which also includes the 60-minute season finale and bonus material, will be available on January 30 throughout the US. Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Sports World Canada will telecast a live 120-minute show from the annual National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Convention today, starting at 8p. The show, titled Center Circle at NSCAA, will focus on the future of U.S. soccer. Hosted by Max Bretos, the program will feature guest panelists Christopher Sullivan, Christian Miles, and Fox Soccer Report's Bobby McMahon; as well as Michelle Lissel, formerly of Fox Sports World Report and now with the newest MLS franchise, Toronto FC. The M Word, a new OMNI-funded documentary from Third Element Productions, takes a hard look at the state of multiculturalism in Canada by confronting hot button issues. In addition to airing interviews with prominent Canadians, The M Word also profiles Regent Park Focus, a film program for diverse youth in Canada. Here are a few tidbits from Cynopsis: International and Multicultural Edition's article, The Ins and Outs: Israeli Trends in Television Programming Importing and Exporting, from your very own Ariana Rawls. I've been in Israel for the past few weeks, and found these Israeli TV trends particularly interesting. The entire article is available at www.cynopsis.com in the Cynopsis: Int'l & Multicultural section, or simply click here. Give it a read!
