Cynopsis: International 06/12/08 Good morning. It's Thursday, June 12, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Belgacom put in a 420 million euro bid for Belgian cable group Interkabel's Integan, Inter-media, PBE and WVEM cable TV operators. This counters the offer from the Belgian cable operator's rival, Telenet, coming in well over the latter's non-binding 350 million euro agreement. Zodiak's Yellow Bird film and drama company has started its international expansion with its first move into the German market. A Munich-based production house is the first order of business for the Swedish company as a joint venture with Oliver Schundler, who will run the company as MD. He is currently leading Bavaria Media Television. The unit will be all about cinema feature films and TV fiction for the German-speaking market. Initial productions will be based on rights that Yellow Bird already controls. The U.K. government seems to be holding to its guns with the country's media secretary, Andy Burnham, announcing to broadcasters that the rules regarding product placement on TV programs will not be relaxed to ensure programming integrity and increase viewer trust. The broadcasters have been facing declining revenues. In Andy's words, "here and now I do want to signal that I think that there are some lines that we should not cross, one of which is that you can buy the space between the programmes on commercial channels, but not the space within them." The issue comes up as part of EU member states' The Audio Visual Media Services Directive to individually decide on product placement. Final decisions are to be made in early 2009. Other words from the minister ... "Standards are part of Britain's brand when it comes to world markets. If we chip away at these standards in response to short-term pressures, we risk changing forever how people at home and abroad think and feel about original British programming." With a new partnership in place between Tangerine Global and Swisscom Hospitality Service, hotels in North America, Europe and the Middle East will now offer guests premium high-def programming. The agreement, utilizing Tangerine HD programming (adventure, sports and travel), marks the launch of Swisscom's new HD video over IPTV technology system when it debuts in 3Q2008. Renewing their TV deal in South Africa, Disney-ABC International Television and South African Broadcasting Corporation inked a new free TV volume deal for content including live action dramas (Desperate Housewives, Hannah Montana and My Wife and Kids), Walt Disney Pictures, Disney/Pixar, Touchstone Pictures and Miramax Films movies and Disney preschool animation. After exploring various options, Jetix Europe signs a deal with Disney, its majority shareholder, to integrate the management of its French Jetix channel with Disney Channel's operation in France. Moving forward Disney Channel's France-based team will manage the French Jetix channel operations, in addition to overseeing its existing channels, Disney Channel and Playhouse Disney. Virgin1 ordered up a new global adventure series, Deadly Weather: Fear Junkies (WT), to look at the world of obsessive extreme natural phenomenon enthusiasts. The 6x60-minute series, produced by Summer Films, will be hosted by Gethin Jones for a Fall 2008 debut. Australia's ABC TV launched a new multiplatform Web and TV youth travel show, Fanging It. It starts off with an Australian search for two presenters to host the program. Fanging It is a Net Effective/NMG production. The ABC2 TV travel show will be about travel in contemporary Australia with the hosts' own footage and travel mini-clips uploaded by viewers for prizes. HISPANIC MARKET: Univision Online, Inc. is launching a new music microsite on www.Univision.com titled En Directo with a free online concert by Colombian artist Fonseca starting it off today at 7p. Here's the 3Q2008 scoop on MEXICANAL's programming and new launches (all times are PT) ... July
