INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Eastern Europe's Da Vinci Learning pay TV channel is importing a kids programming and documentary package from the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation. Some of the content included in the deal are the Explorer Train science series, clips from the Newton science magazine, Con Amore Pomodori and others. DHX Media Ltd.'s Studio B Productions subsidiary inked a U.S. broadcast agreement with Jetix for the K6-11-targeted Kid vs. Kat. The network picked up all 52x11-minute and 26x22-minute episodes of the original production produced in association with YTV Canada and Jetix Europe. Following up on last week's MIPTV, SevenOne International sold ProSieben's Beat your Host! format to Danish broadcaster TV2 as well as a Croatian station. BBC World has been renamed as BBC World News as part of a $1+ million news redo by the BBC. BBC News 24 will lose its 24 to become simply BBC News. Other changes include a new logo. HISPANIC MARKET: CaribeVision, as part of its recent agreement with TeleCinco, will begin airing some of the Spanish broadcaster's series this month as part of CaribeVision's primetime lineup. (In January 2008, TeleCinco committed to investing $32 million in the network.) The lineup will be headlined by TeleCinco's 90-minute Hospital Central drama series. It will air in New York, Miami and San Juan on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10p. Situation comedy Escenas de Martrimonios, about 3 married couples of different generations living in the same building, will be on weekdays at 750p in New York and Miami and in Puerto Rico at 11p on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Discovery en Espanol is going back in time with a new documentary series, What Happened When. A special presentation will start off the program on April 27 at 10p with The Story of Elian Gonzalez. The series continues through June 12 on Thursday nights at 9p with a focus on different moments in history and how they changed the world and shaped culture. Plaza Sesamo is celebrating its 35th anniversary this month with a 65-episode new season debuting on April 21 on Mexico's Televisa and on June 9 on Discovery Kids Latin America. The season will, of course, continue to center on literacy, math, diversity, the environment, health and safety. It is co-produced by Televisa and Sesame Workshop, with additional live action content this year coming from Bolivia and Paraguay in addition to other Latin American countries. This year will be the first time Plaza Sesamo will air in Colombia. AFRICAN AMERICAN MARKET: Black Television News Channel (BTNC) inked a multi-year carriage agreement with Comcast well before its 2009 launch. Under the deal, BTNC will be added to Comcast systems in Atlanta, Baltimore Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. when it makes its debut as a 24/7 cable news network with original news programming from an African American perspective. It will create a coast-to-coast all high-def TV newsgathering system with network operations headquartered in Washington, D.C. EXECUTIVE MOVES: MTV Networks International named Alexey Efimov as MTV Russia's new GM to oversee daily operations, including strategy, business development, programming and production. Previously serving as Channel One Russia's GM, Alexey will be based in Moscow and report to MTV Russia's Board of Directors. MTV Russia is operated under license by Prof-Media and is part of MTVNI's Emerging Markets group. Following on the heels of yesterday's naming of Ashley Highfield as Kangaroo's new CEO, the company announced another key exec. Cosmo Lush will make the move from his current position as Head/Product Management at Channel 4 to become Kangaroo's Acting Commercial Director. He will manage third-party content negotiations and commercial development, per Media Week. The BBC Worldwide, Channel 4 and ITV joint venture is working with Zygos Partnership to find a permanent Commercial Director. Reporting to Greg Ricca, Discovery Networks International's President and CEO, Dan Brooke has been upped to EVP and MD for Discovery Networks UK. In his new position, he will be in charge of strategic development and operations for Discovery's 11 brands in the U.K., including Discovery Channel, Discovery Real Time, Discovery Turbo and DMAX. He will continue to be based in London where he was previously GM of Discovery Networks UK since July 2005. Answer to Yesterday's Trivia Question: On the series Quantum Leap, only once did Sam (Scott Bakula) "leap" into a non-human. What type of creature was he? A CHIMP (Bobo, an Astrochimp) Kudos to: Marie Simm-The Nielsen Company/Oldsmar, FL; Matthew Willence-ITN Networks/NY; Eddie Hsu-KCTV/KSMO/Kansas City; Stephen Clune-Disney Channel/Burbank; Alison Moore-Channel 4/London Today's Trivia Question: live on a houseboat, can often be found at Danny's Place, and have an assistant named Sam. Who am I? (Click here with your answer and be sure to include your name, company, city and time zone.
