CABLEU
ATTENTION: The
strike is still going. Make it work for
U
:
"Even with the strike on and all my accounts being on hold now ... I still had to 'squeeze' CableU into my budget. Thanks for a wonderful service!" CableU - We're here for U ! www.CableU.tv - Know Networks Better. Pitch Smarter. Cynopsis: International 11/14/07 Good morning. It's Wednesday, November 14, 2007, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: The U.K.'s Fluorescent Media brought in New York-based production company Embassy Row to jointly pitch and produce The Empire, Fluorescent's new game show series. In the cross-platform format, thousands of players are projected into a game show studio to compete simultaneously in a live TV contest. Sony Pictures Television will distribute the format under its partnership deal with Embassy Row. Rive Gauche Television has closed sales in Asia heading into this year's Asia Television Forum. Here's the scoop …
The Writers' Guild of Great Britain (WGGB) pledged its support with WGA members striking over here in the U.S. The guild asked its members and other British writers to "refuse to break the strike by filling in for U.S. writers in dispute … Strike-breaking would at best bring a short-term payday but would have a devastating long-term effect on a writers' U.S. career", according to WGGB general secretary Bernie Corbett. Although the WGGB cannot discipline members for defying its position, the organization did point out to them that future U.S. work would be much harder to obtain if they wished to work for the major studios and networks without WGA membership. The WGGB has already succeeded in negotiating contracts with British broadcasters regarding Internet, DVD, and mobile phone revenues and rights. Discovery's Dirty Jobs will be remade by Danish producer Easy Film for a debut on Discovery Networks Europe's channels in 2008. Peter Schmeichel, a Danish ex-Manchester United soccer goalie, will host the version, appropriately titled Dirty Jobs With Peter Schmeichel. TV2 Denmark's former commissioning editor, Mikkel Beha Erichsen, will be the series producer. Jetix Europe N.V. has resumed negotiations with Canalsat concerning carriage of its French channel on the platform. As part of the discussions both parties have agreed to extend carriage from December 15, 2007 to March 31, 2008 to ensure the channel will continue to air on Canalsat while a new deal is negotiated. EM.Entertainment, a producer and distributor of kids programming, has entered into a 2-year license deal with VOD company glowria in German-speaking countries, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg. The kids-targeted programs included under the deal are classic titles Emil and the Detectives, The Flying Classroom, and Hello Spencer, fairy tales such as Snow White and Cinderella, and contemporary shows Art Alive and The Sleepover Club. Glowria offers its VOD service as a B2B service and addresses through telecommunication companies, internet service and cable network providers, IPTV platforms, and operators of e-commerce portals. EM.Entertainment recently acquired a stake in U.S.-based VOD platform Kabillion. The Asia Factual Forum, taking place November 25-27 in Singapore, is being co-produced by Canada's Ballinran Productions with Singapore's Association of Independent Producers and the Media Development Authority of Singapore. The event will bring in participants from the U.K., U.S., Canada, India, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and other countries. More info at www.asiafactualforum.com . How are our neighbors to the north faring? The latest research from the Canadian Marketing Association shows the ad spending in the country's media will see a jump from $19 billion this year to over $23.3 billion in 2011. Digital media will lead the marketing channel pack over the next 4 years in regard to direct sales with an anticipated $46.6 billion. Canadian businesses will spend $3.3 billion on digital, a figure over twice that of 2007's $1.4 billion. Overall, every $1 of ad spending will result in close to $9 of economic activity in Canada. By 2011, direct sales from ad campaigns will potentially come in at $203 billion. However, the largest percentage of ad spending in the country will still be in traditional media with television, out-of-home, and direct mail all expected to show high growth. The Canadian marketing industry's job market will increase by 6.8% annually to 1.2 million in 2011, up from 940,000 in 2007. HISPANIC MARKET: Spanish Broadcasting System and MEGA TV Channel 22 are launching Los Pajaros Tirandole a la Escopeta on MEGA CINE on November 17 at 8p. The Cuban film will also air on DirecTV Channel 405 at 5p. Answer to Yesterday's Trivia Question: On the show Designing Women, what was the name of the business that Julia and Suzanne ran?
