Groupe TVA acquired 40% from Viewers Choice Canada (English-language PPV channel), 20% from French-language TQS and 20% from Cogeco Radio-Television. The buy is subject to regulatory approval. Formula One is coming back to the BBC after a 12-year hiatus following current U.K. carrier ITV's decision to let go of the races before its contract ends. BBC signed a 5-season TV rights agreement (2009-2013) in an estimated 40 million pound annual deal covering coverage on BBC and its radio and web-based properties (including the BBC iPlayer). Parisians started having more to watch this week with the launch of 7 new channels on the region's digital terrestrial TNT service. The list includes radio group NRJ's NRJ Paris (infotainment for the under 50 crowd), JLA's IDF 1 (family channel), Hersant Media's Cap 24 (Parisian lifestyle), Demain IDF (employment-related), BDM TV (Parisian suburbs), CinapsTV (culture and science) and Tele Bocal (community and employment). Cargo Film & Releasing inked an international distribution repping agreement with Toronto-based Keep It In the Family Productions for a bunch of completed series in addition to in development projects.
CBC Television is planning on doing something that appears to be a first for a primetime program in North America. The network will air its Sunday episode of Canada's Next Great Prime Minister on file-sharing service BitTorrent. The move will enable users to both copy and share the reality show episode for free without ads or DRM software. It's A Big Big World will head out into the big world with the help of Contender Entertainment Group (CEG) following the company's acquisition of the global distribution rights (excluding the U.S. and Canada) for the environmentally-focused preschool series. CEG will rep the show for international TV sales, home entertainment and merchandising. It's A Big Big World is produced by Wainscott Studios Kriegman with a 40-episode season 1 and a 15-episode season 2 currently in production for a fall debut and 25 more episodes for fall 2009. Discovery Latin America and Discovery UK are the two latest Discovery networks to bring The Survivorman franchise into their lineup, per C21. Season 3 of the 30-minute Bikini Destinations has been sold by Bennett Media Worldwide to high-def broadcaster HDNET for North America in addition to agreements in the Philippines (ABS-CBN), Canada (Bell Canada), Greece (Cineland), Australia (FOXTEL), France (Direct 8), Hungary (Geronia), Korea (TU Media), Thailand (Shin Broadband), Latin America (Claxson), Malaysia (Universal Broadband) and Turkey (Dogan TV).
