It's Thursday, December 6, 2007, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Fox Latin American Channels inked nineteen distribution agreements for BabyTV. The new deals for the under 3-targeted channel include Chile's VTR, Mexico's Cablevision, PCTV, and Maxcom, Colombia's TV Cable de Bogota, UNE, and Codisert, and Venezuela's Intercable and Supercable. Others were signed for carriage in the Caribbean, Central America, Curacao, the Dominican Republic, and Panama, according to Variety. ITV has placed $53 million on the table to acquire the U.K.'s 12 Yard from Hat Trick Productions and David Young and Andy Culpin. The broadcaster will potentially put in another 9 million pounds in 2011 for the format company based on profit goals, which launched shows such as Eggheads, The Weakest Link, and The Great British Village Show. ITV's Granada International will take over international distribution. The U.K.'s Green Inc. Film and Television has been commissioned by Irish-language broadcaster TG4 to produce a second extended series of music entertainment series Deis Roc. Created as a 10-episode, 30-minute series and a 50-minute special, the "battle of the bands"-style competition show will be co-produced by the Irish production house, Tobar Productions. Al Jazeera English has gained approval from The Media Development Authority to launch on SingTel's MIO TV in Singapore over the next few weeks after the government agency scrutinized whether the network disrupted racial harmony regulations. Miami-based Dolphin Entertainment finalized additional international sales for one of The N's original teen series, South of Nowhere. The latest buyers include Belgium's Klub RTL and South Africa's GO. Other international networks who have acquired the series include MTV France, MTV Poland, RTE of Ireland, and Canal J of France. 2007 has been the year for Seven. The Australian network finally beat the Nine Network by winning 38 of the 40 official ratings weeks. Nine has been the leader for close to 20 years. Seven had 9 out of the 10 top Australian series, 50% of the top global series, and more while Nine's top deliverers were cricket and rugby. HISPANIC MARKET: Destilando Amor (Essence of Love) reached an audience of 12.7 million on December 4, bringing in the top ranking for all A18-34 and 18-49.
