It's Wednesday, February 13, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Setanta Sports is interested in finding a buyer. The pay TV sports broadcaster, which airs English Premier League soccer and other sports on U.K. and international pay TV platforms, is reportedly hoping for a valuation number of $1.95 billion. Following up on the results of an impact assessment study of the 10-year old Directive 98/84/EC on conditional access services, the European Commission is beginning an open consultation period running until April 4 for services that use the systems. It includes VOD and pay TV services. The info garnered from both the study and the consultations will be used to compile a second report on the Directive's implementation. The focus will be on six areas in particular:
NBC Universal inked a VOD agreement with Sweden's TV4 for its TV4 Anytime, covering shows such as House, 30 Rock, Heroes, and 30 Jerry Springer specials, according to Variety. Russian National channel Russia has bought 20 hours of the U.S. documentary show, Going Wild with Jeff Corwin from Studio U7. Kazakh republican TV channel Astana acquired a 285-hour non-fiction program package including Dogs from A to Z (HDH Communication, Italy), Wild Life Nannies (Context TV Production, ZDF, and Voom), and Naked Archeologist (Associated Producers and Vision TV). The Ukraine's TV channel Tonis picked up 180 hours of programming with shows such as Vertical City (Electric Sky production) and Rainbow Media's Magnificent Obsessions, How the Best Is Done, Green Wheels. Target Entertainment continues with more format sales. It sold the format rights of Cirque de Celebrite to Nova TV in Croatia. The Croatian company has commissioned 17x60 episodes. Target is in negotiations with other broadcasters about new deals to be announced soon. Shaftesbury Films and Family Channel are partnering on the new 30-minute teen comedy series Overruled! Filming of the first 13 episodes runs until February 27 in Toronto. Ordered up by Family Channel, the series is scheduled to air later this year on Family Channel in Canada and the U.S.' Disney Channel. It follows the trials of Jared "Coop" Cooper, a 15-year-old whose traits lead to him becoming a lawyer in Banting High School's Teen Court. HISPANIC MARKET: Mun2 developed a 30-minute series premiering on Thursday at 9p based on content from its www.holamun2.com website.
