It's Thursday, June 26, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Astral Media's Playhouse Disney commissioned new seasons of the Canadian animated kids series Franny's Feet and The Secret World of Benjamin Bear. Production on the 13x30-minute third run of Franny's Feet starts in Fall 2008 with producer Decode Entertainment. As for The Secret World of Benjamin Bear, the 13-episode season 4 will also go into production with Ottawa-based Amberwood Entertainment in the fall. The U.S.'s Zoo Productions, created in 1994, has been acquired by ALL3MEDIA. The production house works or worked on shows such as Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? (with Mark Burnett), MTV's Spring Break, TruTV's Speeders and more, per Variety. In other ALL3MEDIA news, ALL3MEDIA International inked more format agreements for its Cash Cab game show. UTV picked up the Indian rights for airing as a 13-episode series on the BINDASS channel. Belgium's VRT broadcaster is now the newest to gain the rights to a range of documentaries following a deal with the U.K.'s Channel 4 International. The 11 shows include My Boyfriend The S#x Tourist (2x50-minutes), Teenage Wives (1x60), The Girls Who Were Found Alive (1x50), The Girl in a Box (1x50), Undercover in Tibet (1x60), Medicine Men Go Wild (4x48), The Fake Trade (2x50), The End of the World Cult (1x50), Battleship Antarctica (1x50), Ochberg's Orphans (1x60) and The Beckoning Silence (1x76). Project Kangaroo, a BBC Worldwide, ITV and Channel 4 joint venture, is possibly running into issues with the company and BBC Archive. The latter is expected to launch by the end of 2008 as VOD service for BBC programming for a 7-day catch-up time period. Project Kangaroo will then be able to sell that content after the 7 days and catalog titles as on-demand content. The issue falls with the BBC's three content rights definitions with catch-up indicating the initial 7 days after airing, a commercial window that runs anywhere from 8-30 days after broadcast and archive. The possible issue lies with the last definition and which service will gain this content. HISPANIC MARKET: mun2 has partnered with co-headliners Intocable and Los Horoscopos de Durango for a Unidos Concert Tour. This on-air, online and on-site togetherness will bring live performances, behind-the-scenes tidbits, interviews and interactive features for fans. It all begins today at 8a on Reventon.
