Under the multiple-year agreement, Seven Network will continue airing NBC Universal programming including Heroes, Bionic Woman, 30 Rock, and Las Vegas.

MarVista Entertainment finalized its first deal with Brazil's local media company Globo for its Globosat channel Multishow for the primetime drama series Beyond the Break.

Univision Music Group President (UMG), Jose Behar, filed a suit two weeks ago claiming that the parent company tried to devalue the music division's revenues as it started the steps to auction off UMG. In order to sell the unit, Univision needed to buy Jose's stake. He alleges that the parent company intentionally lowered the amount of TV advertising given to UMG, which resulted in a large ad sales decline. In addition, he charges that Univision did not permit him to trim down overhead, ink favorable long-term deals, and other key decisions. EXECUTIVE MOVES: AETN International named Mark Taylor as VP/International Ad Sales.
