It's Thursday, June 5, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Across the ocean in London, Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) has officially acquired Dutch entertainment company 2waytraffic for 114.3 million pounds. It will become an SPE subsidiary with 2waytraffic's CEO Kees Abrahams staying on to lead the new division, reporting to a combined 2waytraffic/Sony Pictures Television International board. The potential purchase was first announced back in March. The company develops, produces, licenses and distributes light entertainment content for TV, mobile and digital platforms, including shows such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, You Are What You Eat, Take It Or Leave It, Brainiest and That's The Question. Cisneros Group's Venevision International global sales division has a new business under its jurisdiction. The company has launched a formats unit with Hector Beltran in charge to sell and adapt Venevision's catalog and create new scripted and non-scripted formats, per Variety. The focus will mainly consist of dramas and game and talk shows for the Latin American market as well as for Asia and Europe. Cablevision Systems Corp. is adding a new iO Filipino Package to its iO International programming service. The new Filipino Package, the company's 11th international package, will be made up of TFC or The Filipino Channel (Channel 268) and GMA Pinoy TV (Channel 269) for $14.95 per month or $9.95 each. TFC offers live news broadcasts, dramas, comedies and more for Filipino Americans. GMA Pinoy TV viewers will see news, public affairs, lifestyle programming and more. Up North in Toronto, Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. is hard at work after picking up new orders for 7 non-fiction shows for a total of 58 episodes. The company's Vancouver-based The Eyes started production on season 2 of the Discovery Civilization's Air Dogs series and specials Peak to Peak: Building the World's Highest Ski Lift and Reconstructing Big Blue: The Building of a Blue Whale. Additional episodes have been commissioned for Discovery HD's Industrious, new seasons of The Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp and Bulging Brides for Canada's Slice network and a new season of UberGuide Television for Travel + Escape in Canada. Peace Arch will handle international broadcast and new media rights. Lonely girl is heading off to the world of Italian men following a rights and co-production deal between Miles Beckett's Eqal digital production house and Italy's M.A.D. Entertainment for a localized Italian-language run of the lonelygirl15 show. The Milan co-producers have decided to create the version as a spin-off rather than an Italian translation of the original show. As FremantleMedia Enterprises unveiled season 2 of Live From Abbey Road, it also announced pre-sales in over 60 territories. Individual and pan-regional broadcasters reserving the series include the U.K.'s Channel 4, the U.S.' Sundance Channel, Germany's The Biography Channel, Sweden's Kanal 5, Australia's XYZ, Singapore's MediaCorp and Sony across the Latin America region. Who else is going Live? Belgium's VRT, Cyprus' Lumiere, Finland's YLE, Turkey's Super Kanal, Australia's XYZ and many others. The Italian format rights for the first 27 episodes of Los hombres de Paco (Paco's Men) have been sold by Spain's Imagina International Sales to Endemol Italy. Other companies picking up the rights include Studio Ata for Greece and Amedia for Russia and the Baltic States with a Romanian turn starting production soon with Mediapro Pics for Pro TV, per Variety. The original version is produced by Globomedia for Antena 3. MTV Networks Europe got in a bit of trouble this week for some bad language on several of its channels. It picked up a 255,000 pound (approximately $500k) fine from Ofcom for "widespread and persistent breaches" for offensive verbiage on TMF, MTV U.K., MTV Hits and MTV France and even racist text messages that broadcasted early a.m. back on Christmas 2006. MTV's responded by stating it is taking the sanctions seriously and has implemented changes. In Canada, Family Channel will also be hosting all the Camp Rock multi-platform doings including the movie premiere on the network June 20 at 8p, followed by the full original movie being available on broadband from June 23 at 8p at www.family.ca . Beginning June 17, Family Channel's SVOD player, Family OnDemand, will offer a sneak peek at the movie. We all know camp is a summer-long thing so the network will premiere the Camp Rock Rock-Along version of the TV movie on July 4 at 730p. In two days time, the U.K.'s ITV will debut its new high-def channel with live Euro 2008 coverage initially offered to Freesat satellite viewers (reaches 98% of U.K. HHs). Germany's Sat.1 Comedy sure thinks it can't get enough friends. The digital pay TV network will begin airing a marathon on Saturday at 815p that will run for 100 consecutive hours for soccer-adverse viewers (Euro 2008 begins this weekend). By the time the last of the 236 episodes will hit the air, it will be Wednesday after 10p. CROSS-MARKET: A few more details on ESPN's international and U.S. Hispanic platforms coverage were announced for the UEFA European Football Championship 2008 (Euro 2008) taking place June 7-29. In addition to the previously mentioned ESPN Deportes broadcasts, ESPN Deportes Radio will stream all Euro 2008 matches with live on-site coverage throughout the entire tournament. As for SportsCenter, both the English- and Spanish-language versions will cover the games from the site. ESPN International's Latin America and Caribbean networks will reach 44 countries (except Brazil) as well as Canada with their coverage and news/info shows. The networks include ESPN Latin America North/South and the Caribbean, ESPN+, ESPN Dos and ESPN2 Caribbean as well as TSN and Rogers SportsNet in Canada. New media platforms airing Euro 2008 content include www.ESPN360.com in Mexico, www.ESPNdeportes.com , www.TSN.ca and www.RDS.ca as well as PPV and podcast components on the regional networks and their respective platforms.
