Cynopsis: International & Multicultural
Edition
1/18/07 Good Morning. It's Thursday, January 18, 2007, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing, from the NATPE Convention in Las Vegas. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Buena Vista International Television has made a few sales to Spain's Cuatro. The deal includes programs such as Ugly Betty, Day Break, and Six Degrees. The U.S. version of Ugly Betty is scheduled to air on the Spanish network later this year. Fortsmann Little's sports, entertainment and media business, IMG, bought sports TV rights company CSI Sports. The CSI Sports athletics to fall under IMG's direction now include Cricket Australia, the U.K.'s Football Association, England and Wales Cricket Board, New Zealand Cricket, Cricket South Africa, and Zimbabwe Cricket. CSI Sports was previously part of Interpublic Group subsidiary Octagon Worldwide. As for management changes, won't be much of that. CSI Sports current management will continue on with the addition of former IMGer and Octagon CSI President, Chris Guinness, to the IMG management team. CROSS-MARKET: One of the programs New York's WLIW21 will air in tribute to Black History Month will be The Long Walk to Freedom. Airing on February 11 at 430p, it tells the story of 12 ordinary people from different racial and economic backgrounds who accomplished extraordinary deeds during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. NATPE News: Lest you forget that NATPE is and was this week, we will bring you a few tidbits on several international and multicultural networks and their 2007 programming and marketing directions in Friday's edition. Some good reading for your travel back home (or to Sundance for you weary working souls), or for those lucky folks who made it home already. HISPANIC MARKET: Movie network ReelzChannel is launching in Puerto Rico on January 21. The network,already available to satellite Dish and DIRECT TV subscribers in the area, will now be offered to Liberty Cablevision subscribers on basic cable to 37 municipalities. This makes it the first affiliate market where ReelzChannel will be available on basic cable. DirecTV has announced a review for its Hispanic account. According to Hispanic Ad, the company's current Hispanic agency of record, The Vidal Partnership (TVP), had decided not to defend. Azteca America is looking to debut a new reality program around the middle of March. Suegras or Mothers-in-Law (working title) will hold casting calls next month in LA and Miami with production to take place in the latter. More to come in the near future. Interep's Hispanic television rep firm, Azteca America Spot Television Sales, has added WHCT, Venture Technologies Group's Azteca America affiliate in Hartford, CT to its client roster. This marks the 50th Azteca America affiliate to sign with the year-old rep firm. Here are a bunch of Univision NTI Broadcast primetime highlights for the week of January 8, 2007 from Nielsen Media Research ...
