(offer valid thru Feb. 29th) 01/16/08 Good morning. It's Wednesday, January 16, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Devine Entertainment Corporation inked a broadcast deal with Hungary's Duna TV public broadcaster through Devine's global distributor, France-based Carrere Group. The sale covers 19 children's films and franchise titles, including Beethoven Lives Upstairs, The Composers Specials, The Inventors' Specials, and The Artists' Specials. Three French companies, Canal Plus Group and the TF1 and M6 networks, are teaming up with other media players such as AB Groupe, Bollore, Lagardere Active, NRJ Groupe, and NextRadioTV to grow France's mobile TV networks. Their first collective action was the signing of a charter to extend network and promote the mobile TV services in the country, per Variety. Ellis Releasing secured network licensing agreements for the new inspirational lifestyle series, the 26-episode Women On Top. The 30-minute show will go to The Business Channel(U.K. and Northern Ireland), Home Channel (Southern Africa), Zone Club (Europe, Middle East, and Northern Africa), and SF (Switzerland). It looks at how 26 dynamic and successful women made it to the top. U.K.-based Outright Distribution wrapped up six post-New Year's deals for two of its program formats. Both were originally produced by Twenty Twenty Productions. The first property, Leave Us Kids Alone, has been optioned by Endemol in Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands and Baluba in Sweden. The second, Back in Business (previously titled Grandad's Back in Business), has been optioned to Palm Plus in the Netherlands and Endemol in Germany while the finished programs have also been sold to TV4 in Sweden and NRK in Norway. U.K.-based Optomen International made the global rounds for four of its shows. BBC Channels in Asia and BBC America took The F Word, Mary Queen of Shops, and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. DBS Israel and MBC Middle East acquired the latter two shows in addition to Kitchen Nightmares USA. The first of 26 episodes of the 26-minute Famous 5 have just been delivered to Disney Channel Europe. Adapted from the Enid Blyton's classic kids books, the show is a Marathon Media, Chorion (U.K.), Disney Europe, and France 3 co-production. It has already been sold to Super RTL in Germany, Belgium's RTBF, Disney Asia and Australia, the Netherlands' Jetix, Disney France, Disney Europe, Disney Africa, Disney Middle-East, and LNK (Lithuania). More sales are underway with several European broadcasters. Aardman has appointed Spiral International to distribute its catalog across free TV, DVD, and digital rights in Latin America. Ready to get into gear? NBC has ordered a pilot for the Top Gear from BBC Worldwide America. The series, revived 5 years ago after first debuting in the U.K. in 1977, brings in celeb guests, super cars, stunts and challenges, and more. Program Call: It's that time of the year again.
