Cynopsis:
International 01/10/08 Good morning. It's Thursday, January 10, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: French president Nicolas Sarkozy is looking to make another media move. The president announced he was interested in shuttering the country's English-, Arabic-, and French-language France 24 news service launched in December 2006. Instead, he would like to create the new France Monde channel in French to launch this year. “With taxpayers' money, I am not prepared to broadcast a channel that does not speak French." The reported plan is to merge Radio France Internationale, TV5 television, and France 24 existing resources. Although French will be the network's spoken language, live English, Spanish, and Arabic subtitling may be used on the new channel. This public statement is in addition to his recent announcement this week regarding a possible elimination of advertising from public TV. Canada's Entertainment One has acquired Netherlands-based RCV and its subsidiaries to incorporate the indie distributor into its Filmed Entertainment unit. RCV distributes film content from its 1,900+ titles throughout Benelux. The $61 million buy was made by Entertainment One in a controlled auction. Fox International Channels' French division is not closing the doors on its Fox Life. CanalSat's termination of the channel's satellite carriage agreement in December 2007 was a blow as the DTH platform makes up 85% of FoxLife revenues, according to C21. Instead, Fox Life will be distributed via IPTV and cable. It is currently carried on cablers Erenis, France Citevision, and Numericable and on IPTV providers Darty, Neuf Cegetel, and Orange in France. Canadian media company Corus Entertainment Inc. and MTV Networks International are extending their multi-year broadcast agreement for Nickelodeon content to include all digital rights for Nickelodeon and related brands, covering broadcast, broadband, mobile, VOD, PPV, electronic sell-through, and gaming. A new aspect of the deal sees Corus picking up the Canadian rights across all media for Nickelodeon's TV properties and representing its kids and family websites (including www.nick.com ) for ad sales in Canada. The current rights for current Nick animated programming and live action series belong to YTV while all Nick Jr.-produced shows air on Treehouse. Pick up your British batons please. BBC has commissioned Maestro, a new reality show to air on BBC2 in which celeb contestants vie to be the best conductor of an orchestra. The winner will conduct an orchestra during the Last Night of the Proms at London's Royal Albert Hall in September. HISPANIC MARKET: Azteca America is bringing back pop star Yahir in its new telenovela, Bellezas Indomables (Untamable Beauties), premiering January 14 at 10p. It is the story of three beautiful and rich sisters who lose everything and learn to discover their own identity and love while being the victims of a greedy plot. Telemundo's final year ratings for 2007, according to Nielsen Media Research, averaged 1,035,000 total viewers (P2+) for weekday prime, an increase of 7% over 2006's 970,000. In A18-49, there was a 4% jump from 562,000 to 586,000 ... and Telemundo lowered its median age in primetime from 37 to 35 years old in 2007.
