Good morning. It's Thursday, January 3, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

Azerbaijan blocked broadcasting of Russia's RTR Planeta TV channel as of January 1 stemming from technical differences.  The National TV and Radio Council of Azerbaijan and the network have been trying to talk about mutual broadcasting of Azerbaijan's AzTV1 national channel in Russia and RTR Planeta in Azerbaijan since this past June.  Russian legislation dictates that half of the investments made in a channel broadcasting in the country must be from Russian capital.  As such, AzTV1 does not hold a relevant license to air in the country.

Nat Geo Wild is going wild on Hong Kong Cable Television.  The National Geographic Channels International channel launched with dual voice track options in English and Cantonese, according to World Screen.

CROSS-MARKET:

Due to the holidays, the Top 10 Broadcast Spanish Language and English Language Primetime Program and African American Live +SD ratings from Nielsen Media Research will be posted in Friday's edition.

AFRICAN AMERICAN MARKET:

As part of BET Networks' 2008 national election coverage, BET News correspondent Jeff Johnson is sitting down with the 2008 presidential hopefuls for a series of interviews titled What's In It For Us?. The 30-minute specials will debut with What's In It For Us? Barack Obama and the Black Vote on January 8 at 10p, followed by Hillary Clinton on January 15 at the same time.

EXECUTIVE MOVES:

Rohit D'Silva moved into a new position at Fox International Channels (FIC) after being promoted to General Manager of FIC Middle East.  Reporting to FIC President/Southeast Asia, Middle East, Zubin Gandevia, Rohit will oversee FIC, National Geographic Channel, Nat Geo Adventure, and Fox Sports in the region in addition to network growth.  For over three years prior, he worked with FIC and National Geographic Channels in India and the Middle East.



Answer to Yesterday's Trivia Question:  The current host of Animal Planet's The Planet's Funniest Animals was once a cast member of MADtv. Who is this?  KEEGAN-MICHAEL KEY  Kudos to only one:  Eric Adler-Eric Adler Research/Clearwater, FL

Today's Trivia Question:  He says:  "It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girl dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day."  She says: "Goodyear?" He says: "No, the worst." This dialogue is from what goofy 1988 film? ( Click here with your answer and be sure to include your name, company, city and time zone. Unofficial rules: Only the second four correct answers from each time zone will be mentioned; and once you've been mentioned in any of the Cynopsis editions, you can't be mentioned again that calendar week.)
