INTERNATIONAL MARKET: TeliaSonera has become the first TV operator in the Nordic countries to offer TV channel packages, which includes programming from Discovery and the Disney Channel on-demand. The two packages, primarily targeting families, will consist of programming based on TV listings as well as on-demand service with content from each company. Digital Rights Group's U.K.-based distributor, Portman Film & Television, inked a sales agency agreement with Allan Mckeown Presents for two new comedies. The 5x30-minute State of the Union is Tracey Ullman's new comedy show taking a satirical look at a day in the life of America. It debuts in the U.S. on Showtime on March 30. Mumbai Calling will air on the U.K.'s ITV1 in the fall. London's Audio Network music service concluded a number of deals with six North American companies. Annual unlimited licenses were acquired by Quartermile (California-based high-def video post-production facility), Big Coat Productions (lifestyle programming-focused Toronto production company), and Corus Custom Networks (Canadian broadcaster). New York's Rainlake Productions signed up for a multiple production license while Canadian high-def broadcaster, High Fidelity HDTV, bought a 2-year annual license. Last, but certainly not least, ad agency Rubin Postaer and Associates took an unlimited production license. The 52x30-minute Sisimpur, the Bangladeshi adaptation of Sesame Street, can now be see by kids in the Middle East, the U.K., and North America.

A privately held educational and entertainment Bangla channel, Channel i currently reaches kids in rural and urban regions of Bangladesh as well as Bangladeshi kids living abroad. Previously, Sisimpur aired solely in Bangladesh and terrestrial channel Bangladesh Television (BTV). Marathon Group made a U.S. sale for its animated Monster Buster Club series to kids channel Toon Disney, covering the first season. The comedy/action show for K4-10, produced by Lede, actually had a budget of $21 million. It has already been sold to Spain's RTVE, Germany's Super RTL, Ireland's RTE, Radio Canada, and MBC.

The titles offered on Family OnDemand will be offered to Family Channel digital subscribers at no additional cost. The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission released its latest report, indicating a jump in Hollywood acquisitions in 2007 while taking away from Canadian programming.
