Visit us at THEhotel, Mandalay Bay Resort, SUITE #7801 or email info @target-tv.com For more information or screen online visit our website 01/22/08 Good morning. It's Tuesday, January 22, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: The U.K.'s BSkyB is adding more polish to its share in Elisabeth Murdoch's Shine production house by upping its stake from 2.9% to 11.3%. No word on how much the increase will cost BSkyB. Currently the #4 indie production firm in the U.K., Shine recently bought Kudos Film & TV and is presently completely its buy of Reveille Productions. Italy's Mediaset SpA TV company, owned by former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, will launch three new pay-TV channels under the Premium Gallery package. Content will come in from NBC Universal Inc. and Time Warner Inc., among others, following the signing of 4-year exclusive deals with the two companies last year. Although the exact amount was not disclosed, the deals were estimated in the $500-600 million ballpark. One of the channels, the male-targeted Steel, will include content from NBCU's Sci-Fi network and be produced by NBCU as well. The other two networks are the more female-focused Mya and the Joi family channel. Talks are underway to air the channels through FastWeb SpA, Sky Italia, Tiscali SpA, and/or Telecom Italia SpA. Debmar-Mercury International (DMI), Debmar Mercury's U.K.-based distribution arm, inked the first deal for its version of the Trivial Pursuit format to Fox-owned U.S. channels. Fox has licensed a 175-episode run of the 30-minute Trivial Pursuit: America Plays TV show version of Hasbro's Trivial Pursuit board game. The series will debut in September 2008. In separate news, DMI also acquired the international rights to the comedy entertainment show Tom Green's House Tonight. The U.K.'s The Wedding TV Channel sold 6 hours of programming to Al Raj TV in Kuwait, including the 60-minute shows The Designer Wedding Show 2007, National Wedding Show 2007, and Barcelona Bridal (4 eps). The Wedding TV Channel is set to produce 250 hours of original programming this year. PorchLight is the new owner of the worldwide rights to kids classic AJ'S Time Travelers (40 eps, 30 min) as well as thriller The Secrets of Pine Cove. Mickey Mouse and his band of friends are traveling up north for another round. The second season of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse will debut February 10 on Astral Media's Playhouse Disney in Canada at 9a. Alan Johnston, the BBC reporter who was kidnapped in Gaza last year, is the new presenter of From Our Own Correspondent for BBC World Service. His first program airs on January 26 and 27.
