Cynopsis: International
05/07/08

Good morning. It's Wednesday, May 7, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

Granada International sold over 300 hours of high-def programming to Taiwan's Chunghwa Telecom for its Multimedia On-Demand (MOD) IPTV-VOD service.  Titles in the deal include My Boy Jack, Murdoch Mysteries, Planet Science, Agatha Christie's Poirot and more.

Our very own NBC has signed an agreement with FremantleMedia Enterprises for the new family drama series Merlin for NBC's winter primetime schedule. The 13x60-minute show will debut first in the U.K. on BBC One in Fall 2009.  Merlin is set in the mythic city of Camelot with a 21st Century twist.

For the first time, Canada's Canwest Broadcasting and NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution inked a content deal in advance of the LA Screenings. Canwest picked up several new and returning shows slated for its over-the air networks Global Television and E! for the 2008/2009 season as well as for its 21 specialty cable channels.  Knight Rider, My Own Worst Enemy, Kath and Kim and House are just a few of the shows heading up to our northern neighbors.

Earlier this week, TV Globo premiered its Marble Dance telenovela in a 6p slot in addition to broadcasting it to over 110 countries via its international channel. Inspired by Lygia Fagundes Telles' novel by the same name, the show takes place in Sao Paulo in 1958. Did you know that 50 years ago it was the 10th largest city in the world?

HISPANIC MARKET:

This Sunday, Azteca America will launch its newest musical show Te La Sabes? Cantala con Famosos! (If You Know It, Sing It - With Celebrities!) at 9p. Hosted by Chuck Pereda, the 60-minute singing competition is an American version of the show which aired on TV Azteca in Mexico ... but with a little twist.  The U.S. show will pit celeb against celeb in a karaoke-style showdown.
