Cynopsis: International
05/02/08

Good morning. It's Friday, May 2, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

AETN International reeled in a new licensing deal with Five UK for 3 of its series, including two 13x60-minute series, Ax Men (History) and Ice Road Truckers (season 2).  Both are produced by Original Productions for History. Five also licensed season 1 of the 16x60-minute Intervention (A&E Network) for FIVER.  The latter is produced by GRB Entertainment.

ShineReveille International and Media Rights Capital (MRC) are forming a joint venture to distribute content internationally with Chris Grant, ShineReveille's President, managing sales for the entity.  The U.S. TV/movie production house MRC is creating scripted and non-scripted shows such as The Goode Family (ABC), Outnumbered (Fox), The Life and Times of Tim (HBO) and Rita Rocks (Lifetime).  ShineReveille will handle international sales for the two outside of the U.S.  MRC's President, Keith Samples, will continue to pursue new properties, talent, financing and program development.

In addition to several U.S. programming debuts on History, Smithsonian Networks and HGTV, Lightworks Producing Group and its KPI production will see its 60-minute Florence Nightingale drama debut on the U.K.'s BBC1 this spring.

Watch out Meerkat Manor ... the monkeys are coming.  U.K. factual indie Icon Films has been commissioned by National Geographic Channels International, Smithsonian Networks and Granada International to produce Street Monkeys. The 5x60-minute animal docu/soap follows the story of wild Vervet monkeys as they adapt to life in the suburbs of Durban, South Africa.

In other National Geographic news ... National Geographic Channels International commissioned New Zealand's NHNZ to create a trio of 60-minute China-focused Megastructures shows to air as part of the network's May China Special.

But wait.  There's more.  National Geographic Television International (NGTI) inked a new agreement for 15 hours of programming with Ireland's RTE state broadcaster. The deal mainly covers 52-minute wildlife titles such as Lake of a Thousand Caiman, Quest for the Megafish of the Amazon and The Valley of the Wolves, produced by National Geographic Television. RTE also purchased 52-minute programming from NGTI's independent producers. From Australia's ABC Productions, RTE has acquired Australia: Land of Parrots (1 x 52) while it took Humpbacks: From Fire to Ice and Secrets of the Great Barrier Reef from YNR Marketing/Ocean Planet Images.

LA's Small World IFT distributor has signed an exclusive pan-European distribution and production rights agreement with Endemol International for the Big In Japan gameshow format in Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. Created by Babyfoot APS in Denmark, the show is a show within a show where Western contestants live together in Tokyo and compete in a rather crazy Japanese show.

Here are the latest Off the Fence sales inked post-MIP ...
  • History Channel UK - Crossings: Jackie Chan (1x60-minutes) and The Curse of the Elephant Man (1x60-minutes)
  • Animal Planet US - Ocean Voyagers (1x60-minutes)
  • Belgacom (Belgium) - A 100-hour package for its VOD platform
  • Viasat (Scandinavia) - A 14-hour package
  • ERT (Greece) - A 9-hour deal including Cinema Asia (5x60-minutes) and Shaolin  Journey to the West (1x60-minutes)

  • Cult (Italian Fox channel) - Changemakers (8x30-minutes) and 3 other titles
  • PTS (Taiwan) and Every Show (Korea) - Man Made Marvels (6x 60-minutes)
  • Golden Universal (China) - Big Cat Doctor (1x60-minutes) and Africa's Super Seven
  • PT Cakrawala Pesona Jaya Film (Indonesia)  A 10 hour package with Return of the Prime Predators (1x60-minutes)

HISPANIC MARKET:

Once Mexico, the international, Spanish-language broadcast of Mexico's Once TV, will join other major global broadcasters for the 4-hour transmission of the Pangea Day global event on May 10 beginning at 6p. It features 24 short films, music and speakers.  Once Mexico, carried on DirecTV, Comcast, Time Warner and other providers, is distributed in the U.S. by Alterna'TV.

GAY/LESBIAN MARKET:

Logo will air the first-ever NewNowNext Awards on June 7 at 9p on the network and www.LOGOonline.com , hosted by Candis Cayne. Janet Jackson, one of the specials guests, will accept the Always Next, Forever Now award during the 90-minute telecast.

EXECUTIVE MOVES:

Fox Korea has a new man in Tom Oh.  The former CJ Entertainment SVP has left the company and will take over as MD for Fox Korea on May 9.  Reporting to Fox's VP/Asia-Pacific Sunder N. Kimatrai, Tom takes over the MD position from Jay Shim.

Former Univision exec Michael Bollo is coming to V-me as the Spanish-language network's VP/Sales and Sponsorship. In this newly created position, he will be based out of New York and report to Frank Donaldson, SVP and Director/Sales.  Michael was previously VP/National Sales at Univision.
