Cynopsis: International
04/21/08

Good morning. It's Monday, April 21, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

Telescreen in the Netherlands has been appointed by Korea's Cocaban to rep its Dibo the Giftdragon preschool series in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe for TV, home video and merchandising.  With the ink barely dry on the Ocon Animation Studios Inc. series deal, Telescreen signed a Nickelodeon broadcast agreement in Benelux while CNR took the home video rights.

PictureBox, Universal Pictures' SVOD film service, will make its third debut in the U.K. on BT Vision's digital TV platform as of May 5.  Subscribers will gain access to NBC Universal and other studios' current and library films with 28 titles available at any one time.  PictureBox has already launched in Poland on ITI Neovision's n service, in Singapore on Singtel's mio TV service and on two other platforms in the U.K.

The production costs and broadcasting for Howie Mandel's brand new Howie Do It comedy series, recently given the go ahead by NBC, will be shared with Canada's Global Television. Howie will star in the show in addition to co-exec producing through his Alevy Productions in association with 3 Arts Entertainment.  And Howie has been doing quite a bit of busy lately with a scripted Sci Fi series and another potential NBC pilot for Would You Rather in the works as well, among other Alevy projects.

Post-MIPTV deals have been signed by Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. for 18 titles in 14 territories.  The 4-hour Guns miniseries is traveling to Germany's RTL2, Spain's Free Dolphin, South Africa's Nu Metro and Australia's Movie Network.  New content such as Never Cry Werewolf, crime drama The Last Hit Man and family drama Ace of Hearts went to Nu Metro, Movie Network, the U.K.'s BskyB, Ireland's RTE, the Middle East's Phoenicia, Eastern Europe's Daro and Benelux's Lime-Light while other sales were made for drama Guantanamero, comedies Shred and Shred 2, thriller Devil's Mercy and romantic comedy Watching the Detectives. WEtv took Lifestyle TV programming for Spain and Latin America.

Four Eyes, produced by LA's PorchLight Entertainment and France's Pictor Media, is traveling to the U.K. to kiddie CiTV.  The digital network joins a list of other channels that have acquired the 26x30-minutes animated show, including Nickelodeon Germany, Latin America's Cartoon Network, Africa's Afrique Fairmead, Force Entertainment Australia and New Zealand,  Panama's Medcorn, the United Arab Emirates' E-junior and the Middle East's TTC, per C21.

Advantage Media Group has sold its high-def On Safari series in Italy to ERIKA. In addition, the new Men and the Machines of the Luftwaffe series has been licensed in Poland,Germany and Scandanavia.

Pay TV will be the top value driver over the next few years in Asia to reach a $46 billion value by 2012 for subscription and advertising revenue.  In 2007, it was under $25 billion in aggregate, according to Media Partners Asia's Asia Pacific Pay TV and Broadband Markets 2008.  By 2017, the figure is expected to jump to $65+ billion while broadband growth is anticipated to expand to $43 billion by 2012 and $43 billion by 2017.  India, China, Korea and Taiwan will continue to lead the way as the largest advertising markets in the region.  Asian regional pay TV penetration is expected to increase to 55% by 2017, up from 52% in 2012 and 43% in 2007.  Total digital pay TV subscriptions went to 48 million in 2007. The report anticipates an increase to 218 million in 4 years and 298 million by 2017.

HISPANIC MARKET:

Spanish-language content will begin putting in appearances during PBS Kids' third season, which launches on May 19.  The 120-minute preschool block's new run will bring in other elements such as interactive internet-based games, a new music series and more.  The Miss Rosa character will teach the wee ones new Spanish words and phrases.

GAY/LESBIAN MARKET:

The 60-minute Vickie Shaw: You Can Take the Girl Out of Texas will debut on April 22 at 9p on Logo as part of the network's weekly Tuesday night comedy block, Funny Gay Stuff.

EXECUTIVE MOVES:

Richard Engel has been named NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent, effective immediately. He will expand his Senior Middle East Correspondent and Beirut Bureau Chief role and continue to report for all platforms of NBC News, including NBC Nightly News, Today, MSNBC and www.msnbc.com .  Richard has been with the NBC division since 2003.
