Pitch Smarter. Cynopsis: International 05/16/08 Good morning. It's Friday, May 16, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: The U.K.'s ITV plc bought Silverback AB, a Swedish indie production house/program format company business, to the tune of 5.2 million pounds with a future payment maxing out at 8.8 million pounds based on profit performance over the next 3 years. As part of the buy, ITV will pick up the exclusive global rights (outside the Nordic territories) to all content, formats and series developed by Silverback with the Swedish house's sales unit joining ITV's team immediately. In turn, Silverback acquires the right to produce or sell ITV-owned formats in the Nordic territories (similar to other ITV-owned production units in the U.S., Germany and Australia). Pan-Asian Star has it in for The Weinstein Co. in a 5-year output agreement covering Southeast Asia, including China and India. Films such as Sicko, Crossing Over and many others will be shown on Star Movies, per Variety. Disney-ABC International Television and French pay TV platform Canal+ started a new multi-year, multi-window content agreement to bring current and future movie and series content to viewers. Certain titles included in the agreement will be available in their Transactional VOD window to rent, before being introduced to PPV and then Pay TV. FremantleMedia Enterprises brought in a first look, TV development agreement with David Thompson's new production house Origin for film and TV drama. Although we sometimes feel like we are, Fox really is going mental. Fox International Channels and Fox Television Studios will work together on a new English-language, Latin American production titled Mental for Fox International Channels in Latin America, Europe and Asia as well as on U.S. channels. The 13x60-minute medical drama is about an LA mental health hospital's rather unorthodox psychiatrist who tries to get into his patients' minds to treat them. With another commission by Fox for Warner Bros. Television's new 60-minute Fringe series, Warner Bros. International Television picked up more international distribution rights deals. Other rights were taken for the second Fox run of Warner Bros. Television's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and the 14th of MADtv. HISPANIC MARKET: Spanish Broadcasting System signed a retransmission agreement with WSJU (Channel 30) to become Mega TV's newest affiliate in Puerto Rico as of August 25. Timeless got a firm go for Know Your Heritage, Hispanic College Quiz Show in over 70% of US households for September/October 2008 with NBC O&O clearances in the major markets. Hosted by Zoraida Sambolin, this E/I Jeopardy-style format takes after the historic College Bowl series. Content may also be streamed on station websites during Hispanic Heritage Month. Univision will broadcast the Tecate Premios Deportes Sports Awards on July 20. The red carpet event with ten awards and tributes to Hispanic athletes will take place in front of a live audience in Pasadena, CA. Voting will also happen online through www.Unvision.com for several categories.
