INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Turner International and Indian holding company Alva Brothers are launching a co-owned, urban Indian-targeted entertainment channel as part of a new joint venture effort. The initial launch will be a Hindi-language network, followed by other Indian languages. In addition, Turner has acquired a 29% minority stake in Miditech Pvt. Limited, Alva's TV production house. The buyout includes the 25% owned by ICICI Ventures. Firestep, co-founded by Steve Maher and Jonathan Doyle, has been acquired by Impossible Pictures to expand its operations outside London. The Manchester-based animation company has produced the animated Dr Who adventure The Infinite Quest for the BBC. Optomen's U.K.-based distribution unit, Optomen International, sold seven of its show across Europe.
Netherlands-based Tuvalu Media has received an infusion of capital from Sony Pictures Television International. The latter bought an equity stake in the indie TV company in addition to getting the distribution rights for Tuvalu's TV formats and original programming. Tuvalu is currently in production on the BBC format BabyBoom on channel 1 (NCRV), How safe is your house? on SBS 6, and Twinzz on channel 1 (TROS). Cake Distribution has found another home for the K6-11-targeted Skunk Fu! with Disney Channel Latin America. This deal follows several others made in Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America for the 52-episode, 13-minute animated, comedy action adventure series. It is co-produced by Cartoon Saloon, Cake Entertainment, and Telegael for Ireland's TG4 and Germany's SUPER RTL. All3Media's North One Television was picked to produce a new 6-episode series by MTV Networks UK and Ireland to debut on MTV One on February 17. The 30-minute show, Kerry Katona: Crazy In Love, sneaks into the lives of singer Kerry Katona and her husband Mark Croft's busy lives, according to C21. ONO's OJO TV will begin carrying Warner Bros. Digital Distribution titles following an agreement between the two. The Spanish cable TV operator's VOD service will have new releases and library titles, including The Perfect Storm, Ocean's Thirteen, and others.
