It's Wednesday, June 4, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: The rumors circulating over the last few days have turned out to have some bite. Terry Semel, the former Yahoo and Warner Bros. header, is gathering financial backing to make a possible bid on the U.K.'s IMG Media. The company, which focuses on entertainment and sports, owns Tiger Aspect, TWI and Darlow Smithson as well as other units in the marketing and agency arena. The New York Post was the first out with the speculation that Terry had already raised over $1 billion in private equity funding. In 2004, IMG chairman and CEO Ted Fortsmann's Fortsmann Little fund acquired IMG for $750 million. Other suitors have reportedly talked to the powers that be at IMG but the company is officially saying it is currently centering on business growth rather than a sale. The North American rights to Spain's El sindrome de Ulises (Ulysses' Syndrome) have been acquired by Fox Television Studios for a 1-year period. An option exists to extend this to a second run. The comedy with a social spin is about a young physician who starts in a working class area and how his life is changed. It first aired on Spain's Antena 3 with production handled by Zeta Group's FicciON TV. Cake Distribution signed a series of sales (say that 5 times) for its Total Drama Island animated reality to Cartoon Network channels in the U.S., Latin America, Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa. The show is set to debut tomorrow in the U.S. at 9p. The 26x22-minute A Fresh TV Inc. production was made for Teletoon Canada. The Netherlands' Eyeworks sold its The Italian Dream format to Belgium for VTM. The original lifestyle competition show was created and developed by Eyeworks International for airing on the Ned1 public broadcaster. Up in Canada, Decode Entertainment has decided to team up with Australia's Mememe Productions to co-produce the 26x30-minute dirtgirlworld. The animated preschool show about a girl and her backyard pals will air on ABC in Australia, the BBC's CBeebies in the U.K. and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. As for distribution, licensing and merchandising, Decode will be in charge of the international arena while BBC Worldwide will handle the U.K. market and Mememe will take on the Australian rights. RDF Rights has secured another pre-sale deal for U.K.-based Blakeway Productions' documentary Secrets of the Cellar with the U.S.' MSNBC, per C21. In another RDF Rights deal, the company sold its Don't Forget the Lyrics! format to Spain's Plural Entertainment (a Grupo PRISA division). HISPANIC MARKET: As part of its involvement in the National Puerto Rican Parade taking place on June 8, MTV Tr3s will snippets of the parade on its Mi TRL program on June 12 at 4p. The network is also offering info on its float, images and more on www.mtvtr3s.com . History en Espanol will debut a new documentary, The Disappeared (Los Desaparecidos), about the victims of political violence in Argentina in 1976-83 and one young survivor's search to find his family result. It debuts on June 8 at 9p. On Friday, May 30, Univision was the top network for the whole evening among all A18-49 viewers. The Hispanic network had the #1 and #2 programs with Fuego en la Sangre (Burning for Revenge) and Al Diablo con los Guapos (Down with the Beautiful), according to the Nielsen NTI ratings. LATAM MARKET: MTV Latin America signed a Letter of Intent in which the Organization of American States and the Private Sector of the Americas will join MTV Agents of Change. The 2-year old initiative was launched in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank to motivate youth to innovate and create a positive social impact in the Latam region. The stories of several will be spotlighted on Noticias MTV. If you are flying this month on Portuguese airline TAP between Portugal and Brazil, you will be one of the first to watch TV Globo programming inflight. The two companies signed to air 1808 - The Court in Brazil from June through December. AFRICAN AMERICAN MARKET: Actor/comedian D.L. Hughley is the host of BET's BET Awards '08, taking place on June 24 at 8p with performances from artists such as Usher, Lil Wayne and Nelly. EXECUTIVE MOVES: Caribbean Hispanic TV network CaribeVision named Leticia del Monte as Director/Advertising, Promotions and Public Relations for CaribeVision Station Group and CaribeVision Networks. The former General Producer and Managing Editor of Zona Cero-Clasica 92.3 FM for the Spanish Broadcasting System will start her new position immediately.
