Cynopsis: International
02/04/08

Good morning. It's Monday, February 4, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

Millennium Pictures and Fremantle Media Australia (FMA) formed a joint venture focusing on Australian and international drama development and production. Millennium head and former Nine Network drama topper, Posie Graeme-Evans, will also head up the JV, working with FMA CEO Mark Fennessy, COO Carl Fennessy, and FMA Director/Development Jason Stephens, according to THR.

U.K.-based RDF Media is the new owner of indie producer History Television International (HTI) for $1.39 million.  HTI will reportedly turn the proceeds around to buy over 500,000 shares for a 1.26% stake in RDF Media.

The U.K.'s Hardy & Sons is running a new production house with BBC Worldwide and Left Bank Pictures following the acquisition of a 15% stake each for the latter two companies. The history-focused house's Owner/Creative Directory, Justin Hardy, will manage the unnamed new company.

Disney-ABC International Television is traveling to Korea courtesy of two new agreements with Hanaro Telecom's Mega TV and HanaTV.  The U.S. company's TV series and Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, and Miramax Films movies will be offered on the VOD IPTV services.

Are you ready for some more Janice?  Well, Oxygen thinks so.  The network is debuting the U.K.'s Janice & Abbey series a week after the U.S.'s The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency season 3 ends.  The 30-minute show will begin airing on February 19 at 11p for six weeks.  The British show, a Whizz Kid Productions production, originally aired on LIVING as Abbey & Janice: Beauty & The Best.

The Listener (WT), a new CTV original Canadian drama from Shaftesbury Films, will also air on the U.S.' NBC. It tells the story of a young man who can read people's thoughts, and acts on them. NBC ordered 13 episodes of the 60-minute drama series, which was green-lit by CTV last December. Set in Toronto, The Listener is currently in pre-production with shooting set to begin this spring.

Great Cars has been sold by Solid Entertainment to the U.K.'s The Business Channel, Sweden's TV4, Turkey's Saran Media, and Latin America's HSM. The 52-episode auto science/tech series was produced by LA-based Michael Ross Productions, per C21.

Following an exclusive digital media agreement in France with Disney-ABC International Television, TF1 Vision will offer the fourth season of ABC Studios' LOST online for streaming or download-to-rent as of late last week.  The series will be available via TF1's broadband player on
www.tf1vision.fr . This will be the first time that Disney has made LOST available in an international market within 24 hours from U.S. broadcast.  New episodes will have French subtitles, available every week on Friday.

Following commissions from TELETOON Canada Inc., Toronto-based Fresh TV Inc. has started production on 26 episodes of Stoked, a new animated surfing show for tweens, 13 new episodes of 6TEEN (Season 4) and 26 episodes of Total Drama Action (Total Drama Island sequel), plus a 60-minute Total Drama Island special episode to air this fall.

TENNIS PRO    Kudos to:  Earl Dozier-Boardroom, Inc./Stamford, CT; Ed Goode-Connelly Partners/Boston; Elsa Centeno-MediaCom/NY; Jeff Meier-TV One/LA; Susan Nessanbaum-Goldberg-Merv Griffin's Crosswords/LA; Sheila K. Moore-Univision/Bakersfield, CA; Suzanne Sell-Starz Entertainment/Englewood, CO
