Cynopsis: International
05/29/08

Good morning. It's Thursday, May 29, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

Canada's Rogers Media Television is the newest company to sign on with Media Rights Capital and ShineReveille International's new joint venture to air fresh TV shows.  A minimum of 8 scripted series will make their way to Citytv for the next season with possible titles such as I.M. Valentine, F.A.T. City, Rita Rocks and several others.

The Asia Pacific region will import two new channels as NBC Universal Global Networks brings in SCI FI and Universal Channel this July on Singapore's StarHub Digital Cable.  The channels will be offered with Chinese subtitling.

Virgin1 ordered six documentaries from ITV Plc to air as part of its new 60-minute & Proud series in primetime.  The shows will take a rather in depth look at several taboo topics such as outrageous womanizers, gold diggers, cradle snatchers and more.

Zeal Entertainment has announced another deal this week with a new program repping agreement in place with the UK's
www.Sumo.TV video sharing site.  Zeal will be in charge of distributing programming such as its flagship My Sumo user-generated content clips show and Video Zoo.   The website is a subsidiary of Cellcast plc.

For the first time, Disney Channel Spain will launch on free Digital Terrestrial TV on July 1. It first debuted in the country on pay cable back in 1998.

CROSS-MARKET:

Gospel is belting out two new tune shows with the third season of American Idol-like Gospel Dream 2008 debuting on June 1 at 9p on the Gospel Music Channel.  Preceding the show will be the series premiere of Bobby Jones: Next Generation at 8p.  Episodes of both shows will air back-to-back on Sunday nights over the summer.

HISPANIC MARKET:

Alterna'TV had a 3-channel launch this month in California's Palm Desert area following a new distribution deal with Time Warner Cable. The entertainment/art Mexico 22, multi-genre Once Mexico and general entertainment CB Tu Television Michoacan are offered on Time Warner Cable Desert Cities.

Ole, ole, ole, ole.  As part of ESPN's coverage of the UEFA European Football Championship running June 7-June 29, ESPN Deportes will be the exclusive U.S. Spanish-language carrier for the tournament Spanish-language commentators for Euro 2008 will be announced at a future date.

On June 2 at 10p, TeleFutura will present its first ever primetime novela, La Dama de Troya (The Lady of Troy).  The show is about a woman who is strong amidst the tragedies that she experiences as she recaptures her faith in life and love.
