Cynopsis: International & Multicultural
Edition 1/19/07 Good Morning. It's Friday, January 19, 2007, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. NATPE News: MTV Networks Latin America has reached a deal with Endemol International to carry the U.S. version of its high-tech dating show Exposed. The show uses Layered Voice Analysis (LVA) to alert the show participant seeking a potential partner when candidates are lying on their first date. The network also announced that it will locally produce eight original episodes of the Exposed format, and that it will air new seasons of its popular dating game show Next. Exposed will premier Monday through Friday on MTV Latin America beginning in March 2007 with the locally produced episodes to debut in May. Slight change in plans…We will actually be placing the NATPE "tidbits" we picked up this week on several international and multicultural networks and their 2007 programming and marketing directions in Monday's edition instead of today, as mentioned yesterday. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Discovery Networks International's Discovery HD has launched on the StarHub platform in Singapore this week, extending the service to 14 international markets including South Korea, Japan, Canada, Germany, Austria, Ireland, the UK, Poland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. The U.K.'s LIVINGtv has signed a deal with reality televisioners Bunim-Murray Productions to for the rights of The Bad Girls Club for Q2. The series is set to be part of the LIVINGtv's 2007 schedule. Sony Pictures Television International and Challenge are teaming to bring the American game show, Pyramid with Donny Osmond as host, to the UK. Production will begin on the 30 episodes this March and it will air daily at 8p in primetime on Challenge later this spring. 3A TELESUD, a Pan-African and Afro-European Television channel available in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Maghreb, and the U.S., has acquired the exclusive TV broadcast rights for the U.S. and Canada for the 2007 African Youth Championship and the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations. The African Youth Championship, held every two years, is the main international football competition for CAF nations, played by under 20 year old players. The top 4 teams go on to represent Africa at the 2007 FIFA World Youth Cup in Canada. 3A TELESUD will air live broadcasts of all 16 games taking place January 20 through February 4, plus more than 4 hours of daily magazines around this event nationwide on DISH Network. Aardman International has inked a raft of license deals for Aardman Animation's stop-motion animated series Shaun the Sheep (40x7'). Targeted to K4-10, Shaun the Sheep was commissioned by CBBC, where it will premiere later this year. TF1 (France) has picked up all rights including TV, home video and licensing & merchandising; Sony Creative Products has picked up all rights for Japan, and is negotiating a deal with a broadcaster in the territory; a pan-territory TV partnership has been completed with Disney in Asia, France, Italy, and Latin America, with sales in Central and Eastern Europe to Cartoon Network for their multi-territory feed. Also picking-up the series are HRT (Croatia) and Ceska Televize (Czech Republic); and the show will air on TSR (Switzerland), TVB (Hong Kong), and Logi Channel (Israel). Israel's Clasikaletet has the DVD rights there; In Scandinavia, Nordisk Film has picked up the home video rights and the series has been pre-sold to DR (Denmark), SVT (Sweden), NRK (Norway), YLE (Finland), while Alicom has secured the licensing and merchandising rights; pre-sales pact have also been set with co-producer WDR (Germany), ABC (Australia), TVNZ (New Zealand) and RTBF (Belgium). Turner Broadcasting has furthered its agreement with the UK-based Two Way TV for two more years. Under the extension Two Way TV will provide interactive content for Turner's UK kids channels carried Virgin Cable UK including, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Toonami and Cartoon Network Too. Two Way TV will also develop a collection of additional games and interactive content that will be based on Cartoon Network's original series/characters such as Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and Ben 10 on telco TV platforms across the UK and Europe. HISPANIC MARKET: Telemundo, in partnership with Loyola Marymount University, announced the launch of Taller Telemundo: Escritores 2007 in LA. Telemundo and Loyola also formally presented the curriculum and the 21 new students selected for the latest installment of the network's writer's program. In an alliance with the university's Continuing Education and Professional Development department, Telemundo created a curriculum to prepare Hispanic writers for fiction writing for TV and fiction writing for digital media. LATAM MARKET: HBO Latin America Group has teamed up with Mexican production house Argos to create the HBO division's first series in Mexico with directors Javier Patron, Carlos Carrera and Pedro Pablo Ibarra. Capadocia, set in a women's prison, stars Ana de la Reguera and Dolores Heredia. Luis Peraza is the exec producer. GAY/LESBIAN MARKET: Logo will premiere the second season of its First Comes Love reality series on February 12 at 10p. The show takes a look at LGBT couples as they plan their dream weddings. Subsequent episodes will air on Mondays at 10p. Additional content and special features will be available on LOGOonline.com, including a streaming version of the first episode the day after the on-air premiere. P.S.
