It's Wednesday, June 25, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: BBC Worldwide is acquiring Australia's subscription TV channel, UK.TV with the official takeover happening on July 1. As one of three stakeholders in the company (formerly with a 20% share), BBC Worldwide's Channels business has bought the remaining shares from joint partners FOXTEL and FremantleMedia to become UK.TV's 100% owner. BBC Worldwide and FOXTEL also teamed up to launch 3 new channels in Australia from the new BBC-branded international portfolio. BBC HD launched earlier in June as the first on the new FOXTEL HD+ service. BBC Knowledge and CBeebies will be the first BBC channels to launch on FOXTEL in the middle of 2009. BBC World News, already available on FOXTEL, is the last of the BBC Worldwide's 5-channel availability. A new partnership between HBO and Jasmine Group in Israel will bring about a new SVOD service launch on Cyprus's PrimeTV. The two former companies have already worked together on an SVOD initiative on Israel's HOT platform. Operated by PrimeTel, HBO SVOD will be comparable to other related international SVOD services with HBO series, documentaries and features. Rive Gauche Television licensed the TV broadcast rights in Asia for several reality and documentary shows. The sales include:
In more Asia Pacific news, Globo TV International sold some of its productions in Malaysia. The first one is the comedy series The Cleaning Lady going to the Media Prima Berhad media group. It will be dubbed to the local language, Malay, for a July debut. Amberwood Entertainment sold the TV and DVD rights to The Secret World of Benjamin Bear (39x30-minutes) to Russian Film Company for Russia and the CIS. The show was originally ordered by Family Channel in Canada, per World Screen. www.iVillage.co.uk and FremantleMedia are teaming up to launch a new online drama series titled Parentshood. Developed by FremantleMedia's FMX, the 12-week short-form comedy/drama will launch on the site in the fall with stories from 5 parents parenting in the modern world. Oasis International inked an 11-title agreement with Hallmark International for the U.K., Poland, Hungary, Turkey, Benelux and Middle East and Russian feeds. It includes titles such as Lifetime/CTV's Murder on Her Mind, The Wedding Wish and the Barna Alper's Show Me Yours.
