It's Wednesday, January 31, 2007, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Indian company Ushodaya Enterprises Limited's (UEL) Board of Directors has approved the U.S.' The Blackstone Group purchase of a 26% share in UEL. The UEL deal is valued at $465 million made up of a $275 million investment and $190 million bank financing. Blackstone also picks up a seat on the UEL Board. The deal is, of course, subject to regulatory approval by Foreign Investment Promotion Board and the Ministry of Information. By the way, this is India's biggest private equity agreement ever. UEL is the parent of South India's Eenadu TV broadcasting group, the fourth largest private TV broadcasting network in India. And UEL's parent is Ramoji Group, the owner of Asia's largest studio, Ramoji Film City. Bit of a family tree. The History Channel UK, a joint venture between A&E Television Networks (AETN) and British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB), signed an agreement to distribute The History Channel to Scandinavia, including Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Norway's Canal Digital will debut the channel in Scandinavia tomorrow to nearly one million households in the region. The channel will be broadcast in English with local subtitles for each of the four countries. The History Channel in Scandinavia will be programmed by The History Channel UK, but will offer a separate schedule from the UK service.

At this point, CNN International has picked up 25 documentaries from Journeyman for airing this year.

Peter Liguori, Fox Entertainment's President, told all at a town meeting that they needed to pay attention to diversity in front of the cameras and behind the scenes with cast, crew, and writers or they may risk losing a series pickup.
