It's Wednesday, December 19, 2007, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: A new German joint venture has been formed by France's Wild Bunch and Germany's Senator following the former's purchase of half of Senator's shares in Central Film Verleih GmbH (CFV). CFV will distribute Wild Bunch's films theatrically in Germany and utilize Senator to release movies on TV and video under the CFV logo. Wild Bunch and Senator will also collaborate on co-productions and feature film financing. The Hollywood Reporter TV series is heading out of the country following licensing deals made by Sandra Carter Global with South Africa's SABC, Latin America's HBO, Bulgaria's TV2, Czech Republic's CET 21, and Canal + for Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway. The 52-episode, 30-minute series is scheduled to launch in January 2008. It is also offered as a 3-part, 8-minute miniseries. MTV Networks International's Emerging Markets group and Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (CME) inked a multi-year licensing deal granting rights to CME's PRO TV subsidiary to operate MTV's Romanian channel. MTV Romania will continue to operate as a fully-localized channel. HBO Latin America will begin airing International Fight League (IFL) content in Latin America, Brazil, and the Caribbean starting in 2008 as part of a deal with Alfred Haber Distribution. This is the IFL's first Spanish-language agreement. Zodiak's Bullseye Television is splitting its Braindead branded channel on Joost into four. Braindead COMEDY, Braindead CRIME, Braindead SPORT, and Braindead REALITY will be launched with an initial programming selection in mid-January 2008. The full lineup will be rolled out over the year. HISPANIC MARKET: Univision Networks will be the exclusive Spanish-language broadcasters in the U.S. for the region-wide CONCACAF Champions League, starting with the inaugural 2008-2009 season. Twenty-four of the highest-ranked clubs from the Mexican Primera Division, Major League Soccer, the Costa Rican Primera Division, the Honduran Primera Division, the Guatemalan Primera Division, Salvadoran Liga Mayor, and other leagues will participate. Play begins in August with finals taking place the following April. Univision will televise 52 primetime matches in total each year, primarily on its TeleFutura and Galavision Networks. AFRICAN AMERICAN MARKET: TV One grew its subscriber base by 25% in 2007 with more than 8.4 million new subscriber households, according to Nielsen Media Research universe estimates.
