Pitch Smarter. 03/13/08 Good morning. It's Thursday, March 13, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Rumors are swirling around that Sony Pictures Television International is the buyer alluded to in yesterday's news that advanced negotiations were taking place for an acquisition of the Netherlands' 2wayTraffic. Per C21, the deal is imminent with SPTI buying a 75% stake and a private investor investing in 25%. DISCOP and its joint partner, NATPE, will expand the DISCOP's reach with the launch of DISCOP Africa in Dakar, Senegal on February 25-27, 2009. Full details of DISCOP Africa 09 will be announced in the near future. FremantleMedia Enterprises has the international distribution rights to 112 - Saving a Life, a new series which it also co-financed. Created by Germany's Action Concept, the show is currently in production for a debut on RTL. Set in an emergency center, it shows the daily lives of firefighters, paramedics, and police working side by side. Eurosport is launching a new high-def channel that will simulcast its flagship network's programming. Debuting on May 25, it will get going with the French Open-Roland Garros tennis Grand Slam. The high-def European sports channel has already picked up carriage agreements areas of Southern Europe and Scandinavia. After picking up the rights from 19 Management Ltd, 3DD Entertainment inked a number of sales for the 60-minute, high-def Spice Girls Giving You Everything with TV4 (Sweden), TV Norge (Norway), Danmarks Radio (Denmark), MTV 3 (Finland), and Icelandic Television Company (Iceland). It was also snapped up by TV3 (New Zealand), RTE (Ireland), VPRO TV (The Netherlands), TVR (Romania) VIASAT (Baltics), and other in-flight deals. In addition, 19 Management handled the sales of the Spice Girl documentary to BBC1 (U.K.), Canada's CTV and CHUM TV, and Foxtel (Australia). Other sales were made by 3DD for documentaries Respect Yourself - The Stax Records Story (60 and 120-minute), Andrea Bocelli - A Child Destined To Sing (60-minute), and a selection of live artist concerts. It seems the U.S.' Bionic Woman has pulled in some rather bionic ratings with the U.K. launch bringing ITV2 its highest ever audience with a 2.2 million viewer average and a 10.5 share (9p slot) on March 11. The prior best for ITV2 was Footballers' Wives: Extra Time 3 years ago with an average of 1.9 million.
