In partnership with TV France International, the three are looking for program proposals with cross-platform potential and a focus on topics of interest to Europe and Asia. This is the first initiative following CFI-MDA's Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in November 2007. Disney-ABC International licensed its The Amazing Race format to Israel's Reshet for a local language production in which contestants will compete in a race across Asia.

The series is expected to make its debut later in 2008. Mexico's Televisa will work with France-based Groupe JLA to the creation, production and localization of telenovelas for Europe with an initial direction targeting the youth market.
