Atlas Media - Edelman Productions - Jupiter Entertainment - Lightworks Producing Group - Lion Television - Lucky Duck Productions - Sony Pictures Entertainment - Towers Productions - and more! What are U waiting for? www.CableU.tv - Know Networks Better. Pitch Smarter. 02/18/08 Good morning. It's Monday, February 18, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: This may set an interesting precedent for reality TV. Three former Temptation Island reality TV contestants took France's TF1 and its Glem production unit to court contending they should be paid for their time on the show. The French courts agreed that it did constitute employment even though TF1 alleged that their reality show time did not involve artistic, intellectual, or physical work. The network was ordered to pay close to $40,000 to each contestant/plaintiff for their around-the-clock time in front of the cameras and the regular interviews they gave while on the show. What has happened since the verdict came out in favor of the contestants? The Europe 1 radio station reports that 45 former contestants have already sought legal advice. A 2-year deal has been signed between TV4 Group in Sweden and Canal Digital to offer its satellite, cable and IP subscribers access to the TV4, TV4 Plus, TV4 Film, TV400, TV4 Fakta, TV4 Sport, and new TV4 Science Fiction channels. The latter channel is launching on February 29. The 7 channels are joining 3 other networks (TV4 Guld, TV4 Komedi, and TV4 HD) that were part of a previous deal between the two companies. NBC Universal Television DVD, Music and Consumer Products Group will now assume responsibility for all global licensing and merchandising of NBCU's TV properties and TV catalog. The efforts will be headed up by SVP Kim Niemi to develop and implement product lines associated with NBCU's television brands, including NBC, Universal Media Studios, USA Network, Sci Fi Channel, Bravo properties, CNBC and Telemundo. Her group will continue to oversee all new business development for music, eCommerce sales, the www.NBCUniversal.com store group and 3rd party home entertainment licensing. NBCU has also selected Joy Tashjian Marketing Group LLD as its exclusive consumer products agency, expanding on a long-term licensing agreement between the two. Liberty Global, Inc.'s European content division, Chellomedia, acquired a 25% interest in Shorts International Ltd through its LGI Ventures BV subsidiary. The London-based Shorts International is the creator of the ShortsTV TV channel, which is distributed on cable in France, Belgium and Luxembourg to 3.2 million households on several mobile phone platforms and on the internet on Joost. In addition to its investment, Chellomedia will also have a non-executive director on Shorts International's board. The Netherlands' Telescreen sprinkled sales across Europe with agreements in place in Denmark, France, and other countries.
The BBC's decision to shave off its hair is not going well. The sale of the British company's BBC Resources wig and costume division fell through after Superhire Group decided to drop its participation in the bid. Until another buyer is found, the costumes will move to Oxford. The hopes of selling the unit to one buyer seem to have migrated more towards splitting BBC Resources among several buyers. Nick Germany is the latest to pick up CCI Entertainment's Ghost Trackers. It has already launched in the U.S. and Norway as well as on its native Canadian channel, YTV. Answer to Yesterday's Trivia Question: On the TV series Twin Peaks the owner of the RR Diner made a "damn fine cherry pie." What actress had this role? PEGGY LIPTON (played Norma Jennings) Kudos to: Ed Goode-Connelly Partners/Boston; Kathy Goldstein-TNS-Global/EST; Jim Brown-WWE Enterprises/Stamford, CT; Steven Weisbaum-Saint Johns Health Center/Santa Monica, CA; Jeff Meier-TV One/LA Today's Trivia Question: What did Howard Cunningham (Tom Bosley) do for a living on Happy Days?
