It's Monday, November 19, 2007, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: The world is abuzz with the sound of writers around the world supporting the WGA, but now others are looking to strike as well. Italian scribes have been keeping an eye on the U.S. strike with strike action contemplation to fight for their own new media revenues connected to internet and mobile phone residuals becoming more and more probable. Societa Italiana degli Autori ed Editori (SIAE), an Italian entertainment copyright association, has already taken Telecom Italia, Vodafone, Wind, and Hutchinson 3G mobile phone operators to court regarding the use of film and television content without royalties being paid to content writers. It is also currently discussing new media royalties with Sky Italia with December 31 as a final deal date or else the News Corp. company's mobile and Web use of content will be regarded as illegal by SIAE. Belgian broadcaster VTM has acquired rights to produce its own version of Granada International's Pride of Flanders format. It will begin airing the show on November 22 with Guy Verhofstadt, the Prime Minister of Belgium, as a judge. Belgium-based generalist and lifestyle channel Vitaya is also reversioning a Granada International show following its buy of the Trinny and Susannah Undress format. This takes Cynopsis: International's updates up to new realm of global news. DIRECTV has offered to bring high-def to the living area of NASA's high flying International Space Station. The proposed high-def improvements will include a bunch of U.S. high-def channels and an advanced high-def DVR with a HDTV flat screen. Not to worry about misplacing the remote ... it will comes with a Velcro-wrapping to keep it in place. If NASA says yes, DIRECTV will even lend its leading engineer to help with the satellite dish installation. Now all the astronauts need is some free time while they're up there! BBC shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and The Mighty Boosh and content based on BBC Worldwide and Greenlight Media's Earth natural history feature will be made available on social networking site Bebo. Other broadcasters offering up free footage for viewing to subscribers are Channel 4, BSkyB, MTV, and smaller television producers such as Sumo.TV and Kontraband. Each broadcaster adds footage to its own Bebo page, retaining copyright. Bebo has 40 million members worldwide including 10.7 million in the U.K., mainly in the A13-24 range. France's Gaumont film production/distribution/sales company is in exclusive discussions with Alphanim to acquire the children's production/distribution house. No word yet on the negotiation timeline. The Paris-based Alphanim's productions include Galactik Football, Robot Boy, and Hairy Scary. Gaumont was recently bought by Italy's De Agostini a few months ago. HISPANIC MARKET: Telemundo started production for El Engano (The Betrayal), the first original telenovela to be produced in Mexico by Telemundo Studios Mexico. It will debut in the U.S on Telemundo in the beginning of 2008. Fernando Carrillo and Gaby Espino, the show's stars, signed exclusive contracts with the network, effective with the beginning of this production.
