Cynopsis:
International 05/15/08 Good morning. It's Thursday, May 15, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Germany's ProSiebenSat.1 launched a new fully-owned production company titled Red Seven Entertainment to develop light entertainment content for the group for channels in Germany and throughout Europe as well as other platforms. ProSieben's current Head/Entertainment Jobst Benthues will be in charge of the new entity, which will be based out of a Munich suburb as part of ProSieben's Group Content Acquisitions and Productions Division under EVP Jan Frouman. He will take on additional duties managing acquisition, production, distribution and format development. FremantleMedia Enterprises entered into a deal with BermanBraun and Original Productions to pick up a variety of international TV, home entertainment and format rights to four new NBC shows on its 2008/2009 TV schedule. America's Toughest Jobs, Swords and Shark Taggers will be part of a four series deal, which will form a primetime programming block of 30+ hours. One additional series will be named in the near future. The international TV rights, including Canada, and home entertainment rights in Australia and U.K. were gained for the 3 shows in addition to FremantleMedia Productions taking the global format rights to America's Toughest Jobs (also including Canada). Digital Rights Group's Zeal Entertainment entered a new repping agreement with U.K.-based Love Productions for the global format and finished program rights (excluding North America) for its factual series Young Mums' Mansion (8x60-minutes). The series, a social experiment of sorts, follows a group of young, single mothers and their children as they live together and pool their resources to see if communal living can help them. Several more international distribution rights renewals were made by Warner Bros. International Television in addition to those mentioned in yesterday's Cynopsis: International. Warner Bros. Television's Eleventh Hour and The Mentalist were commissioned by CBS while the network also renewed WBITV's Cold Case, Without a Trace, The Big Bang Theory, The New Adventures of Old Christine and Two and a Half Men. HISPANIC MARKET: On May 25 at 10p, Discovery en Espanol will air Santo Milagro, an original production on the pageantry, color and rituals of how some Hispanics practice their religious faith and even unexpected ways in which they look for miracles. In new news, Spanish Broadcasting System's Mega TV flagship station is now in an exclusive content sharing deal with Fox News,making the channel Fox News' only Hispanic affiliate in the U.S. With the deal, Mega TV will gain complete access to the Fox News Edge interactive server. Lifetime Networks and Cox Communications will launch all of the company's new multi-platform channels, including Lifetime Television HD, Lifetime Movie Network HD, Lifetime On Demand and Lifetime Movie Network Espanol On Demand. Cox will begin rolling out Lifetime HD to its customers in June. The Top 10 Broadcast Spanish Language and English Language Primetime Program Live +SD ratings and African American TV home rankings from Nielsen Media Research for the week of May 5-11, 2008 will be posted in Friday's edition. Yesterday's Hispanic TV upfronts included V-Me, GolTV, Univision, Telefutura, Galavision and ESPN Deportes. At its first upfront, the 14-month-old V-me spoke of reaching 6 million Hispanic TV homes, according to Nielsen, part of the 38 million households it reaches in the U.S. Programming:
