Cynopsis: International
01/29/08

Good morning. It's Tuesday, January 29, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing, coming to you from the NATPE 2008 convention in Las Vegas.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

Under a new deal between Reveille and Colombia's Caracol Television, the former will get first-look U.S. market dibs for Caracol's formats, both scripted and unscripted.  Caracol's roster includes telenovelas Pedro el escamoso and La guerra de las rosas, among many others, according to Variety.

MoMedia International has licensed 200 hours of music programming on behalf of U.K. distributor 3DD to Telekom Slovenije's IPTV service.  The Slovenian company launched its IPTV platform back in 2003.

Sony Pictures Television International and ProSiebenSat.1 Group are further strengthening their relationship through a multi-year volume deal which includes current and library feature films and TV programs for Prosieben's free to air channels in Germany.

The first season of BRB Internacional's animated series Angus & Cheryl (104x2) is traveling to some new countries with sales made in Germany with RTL2 for a February debut and Chile's oldest channel, UCV TVNickelodeon will start broadcasting the series in Italy next fall. The network also possesses the cable and satellite TV rights for Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg, Scandinavia, Switzerland, and Holland. Two other public TV channels now own broadcast right to the series. Radio Canada took them for most of Canada and France 3 for France. Universal Pictures International Entertainment acquired the mobile rights for the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland.

The Next Great Leader format, focused on sparking youth's interest in politics and debating, will be heading over to the U.K. (just in time for the lead up to the British 2009 election season) following a deal between the BBC and Canada's Distraction.  BBC has also signed on for South Africa and Holland options.

NEWS from NATPE:

VOD IPTV network ReelTime.com entered into an agreement with Nelvana Enterprises, a Canadian-based distributor of kids animated programming, for the VOD rights to episodes from its kids content library.  The Corus Entertainment Inc. subsidiary's classics includes shows such as Rupert, Babar, Franklin, and others.

Alfred Haber Distribution, Inc., the exclusive international distributor for Nash Entertainment's new reality show, Most Daring, has already lined up several territorial sales.  BRAVO (U.K.), Network Seven (Australia), STAR (Southeast Asia), and MBC (Middle East) picked up the 26 episode, 60-minute series.

HISPANIC MARKET:

Original mobile content creator Intersport will launch the Spanish-language En Espanol mobile channel on the Sprint TV platform next month, its 4th channel carried exclusively by Sprint in the U.S. Intersport's original entertainment, sports and music-themed destinations quickly became the most viewed channels on Sprint TV after launching last September, according to Jason Coyle, President, Digital Media for Intersport.

mun2 has joined forces with Pepsi and Yahoo! Telemundo to launch a new version of Pepsi Musica, a bicoastal and multiplatform production highlighting the best in music, lifestyle and youth culture. Featuring live musical performances, celeb guests, user-generated content, and a weekly video countdown, the 120-minute Friday show premieres on February 1 at 5p.  It will also have a presence on sister network Telemundo, with a customized Pepsi Musica segment airing within Nitido and Cine Nuestro.
