Where PRODUCERS find opportunity Where PROGRAMMERS track competition Where ADVERTISERS get the real story CableU Confidential - Now U Know. Cynopsis: International 06/27/08 Good morning. It's Friday, June 27, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Show me the money seems to be the saying of the day for London's ITV Worldwide after the company tripled its development and acquisitions investment fund. The money will mainly be used to grow its collaborations with indie producers. In the indie production bend, it already has a 25% stake in Mammoth Screen, exclusive first look deals with Zig Zag and Quickfire Media and distribution deals with U.K., Canadian and Australian producers. Casper may be less scared now. DQ Entertainment in India and Europe's Moonscoop Group signed a co-production deal valued at $100 million. The two recently collaborated on Casper's Scare School and will now look to co-produce a minimum of 5 TV series and two features for international distribution through 2012. At least 1 series or movie will be launched each of those years. The Africa Channel will come to the LA metro area on Channel 176 on July 29 following a deal with Time Warner Cable. This is the first under the recent national affiliation deal between the two companies. Sony Pictures Television International (SPTI) announced the launch of three pan-Latin American mobile content portals distributed across 34 carriers and reaching 300 million mobile users in 16 countries across the region. The distribution pipelines give SPTI a marketplace for video clips, wallpapers, ringtones and mobile games sourced from Animax, Sony Entertainment Television and AXN television networks. Region specific mobile content offerings include Nada Que Ver (Nothing To Watch), Brazil's Next Top Model and the animated sci-fi series Afterworld. The format for Battleship, originally created by Grundy Light Entertainment, has been licensed to Turkey's Show TV by ProSiebenSat.1 Group's SevenOne International. It is all set to debut on June 29 under the title Amiral Batti in its regular 9p Sunday night slot. BBC Two has placed an order with Tigress Productions to produce a new series titled Beachcomber Cottage. It will follow Monty Halls (no, not Let's Make a Deal's Monty Hall, this Monty Halls is A former Royal Marine, highly trained diver, marine biologist and explorer), cameras follow him during his summer living on Scotland's remote west coast. The exec producers of the 8x30-minute series will come from BBC Scotland, BBC Documentaries and Tigress. Oh dear, it's Punk'd meets home renovation. In Ontario, HGTV's newest 30-minute series, The Fix, will have Brit contractors Neil Davies and Jay Purvis proposing rather absurd renovation and decoration ideas to homeowners who believe they're receiving a free home makeover. The 26 episodes of the General Purpose Pictures Inc. production will start off on July 3 at 9p on HGTV. HISPANIC MARKET: V-me and LazyTown Entertainment entered into a new multi-platform partnership to encourage more active and healthier lives for Hispanic children. In October, V-me will become the exclusive U.S. Hispanic broadcaster of the preschool-targeted LazyTown while the two companies will work on a campaign that involves local events, touring shows, outreach and education programs and more. Last but not least, LazyTown Entertainment will bring its U.S. operations base to V-me's New York headquarters. LazyTown will air twice a day in V-me's morning preschool block, with a special family time-slot on weekend evenings and special series PSA's and short-form content to be broadcast as well. The next original co-production between Telemundo and Sony Pictures Television International has picked its leading star. Mexico's Edith Gonzalez will become Dona Barbara for the high-def show, which is under the direction of RTI Colombia. Production begins on June 30 in Colombia for an anticipated summer debut on Telemundo. Univision's first annual Tecate Premios Deportes (Tecate Sports Awards) will be brought to U.S. Hispanic audiences on July 20. The show includes 10 categories honoring Hispanic athletes for their talent, character, perseverance and contributions to and impact on the Hispanic community. It takes place in Pasadena, California. For ESPN Deportes, the network's coverage of 23 matches of the UEFA European Football Championship 2008 averaged a 2.39 Hispanic household coverage rating. The Spain/Italy match on June 22 was the top watched sports event on Spanish-language cable last week with 309,000 viewers, according to Nielsen. This Sunday will be the final game (won't divulge who I am cheering for but it begins with an S). ASIAN/INDIAN MARKET: iaTV has picked up quite a bit of new California coverage. In addition to the previously announced Charter Communications additions, the ImaginAsian Entertainment, Inc. channel will also debut on Cox Communications in Orange County on July 11 on digital basic Channel. GAY/LESBIAN MARKET: For the first time, Bravo will broadcast the GLAAD Media Awards when it airs the 19th annual event tonight at 7p exclusively on the channel. The special will be followed by the basic cable premiere of Brokeback Mountain. Friday Fun Fact: In the town of Coober Pedy, in the northern outback of Southern Australia, approximately half of its 3,000 residents live in underground homes called "dugouts". The rough and barren terrain coupled with unusually high temps 3 months of the year in this "Opal Capital of the World" are the main reasons for this lifestyle. Answer to Yesterday's Trivia Question: The premise of this series: an undercover agent serves 18 months in prison to establish a credible cover with the mob then joins them when he gets out. Everyone, including his mother, thinks he's a real mobster. What was the name of this show? WISEGUY Kudos to: Matthew Willence- ITN Networks/NY; Ed Goode-Connelly Partners/Boston; Jim Brown-WWE Enterprises/Stamford, CT Today's Trivia Question: On the series TV Arrested Development, what was the name of the Bluth family yacht before Gob destroyed it?
