Good morning. It's Wednesday, July 2, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

The Style Network will added this month to Sky in the U.K., bringing the female-focused channel's international reach up to more than 9.5 million subscribers (outside of the U.S.).  The channel will be part of Sky's Lifestyle & Culture package.

VOOM HD Networks has appointed Chello Zone as RUSH HD's distributor in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia, a second VOOM HD channel repping pickup for Chello.

In Australia, Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific's Discovery HD has been launched as one of five 24/7 HD channels on FOXTEL's new service, FOXTEL HD +.

In further growth in the Latam region, Fox Television Studios has signed in on several development agreements.  With Rosstoc in Argentina, Fox will create the 13-episode, 60-minute Todos Contra Juan (Everyone Against Juan) destined for the country's TeleFe broadcaster.  It is based on a 30-minute pilot already developed by Rosstoc about a one-time actor, his not-so-successful relationships and hopes to return to fame.  Other projects for the two include Feo (Ugly).  Argentina's Malapop and Quark are also in on the action with Perra (abused young girl looking to make it in the big city) and Tramas or Plots (a true story Mexican bank robbery), respectively.  In addition, Chile's Efe3 is already working with Fox in the country.

Tern Television picked up two new commissions for BBC Northern Ireland with The Last Resort (8x30-minutes) investigating extreme modern lifestyle addictions. The 60-minute Rape ... Crisis looks into the realities of Ireland's only rape crisis center.  Both will debut this fall.

In Copenhagen, Nordisk Film TV has won quite a bit of a commission from Denmark's TV2 commercial broadcaster, beating out 8+ other production houses in a bidding process. The order is to produce 3 hours of live TV per day for several years beginning in January 2009 for the Go Morgen morning and Go Aften evening talk shows.  Nordisk Film has been producing Go Aften for 6 years already but the bidding process was to find one producer for both programs.

The German-language rights for a slew of U.S. series from Media Rights Capital and ShineReveille International have gone to Tele Muenchen Group.  The package includes ABC's The Goode Family, CW's Easy Money, F.A.T. City and I.M. Valentine, Comedy Central's Krod Mandoon, Fox's Outnumbered, Lifetime's Rita Rocks and HBO's The Life & Times of Tim.

CROSS-MARKET:

Three days of continuous live music performances and concert specials will be part of Gospel Music Channel's holiday weekend when it blasts off on July 4 at 7a with a Front Row Live marathon.

HISPANIC MARKET:

Home Depot is sponsoring a Spanish-language microsite www.univision.com/content/channel.jhtml?chid=8&schid=24406 and a web show for Univision.com called Handyman Al Rescate (Handyman to the Rescue) featuring 6 minute tutorials on everything from how to organize your garage to how to remodel your bathroom.

ESPN Deportes' exclusive Spanish-language coverage of the Germany-Spain EURO 2008 Final on June 29 brought in a 10.08 Hispanic household coverage rating with 357,000 households and 647,000 Hispanic viewers. The EURO2008 Preview show before the game had a 2.78 rating while SportsCenter afterwards experienced a 4.01 rating.  With all 26 live EURO2008 tournament games, the network saw a total of 1.5 million Hispanic households and 3.3 million Hispanic persons.

EXECUTIVE MOVES:

Endemol International's Senior Exec Director/Commercial and Creative Affairs, Mike Morley, is leaving after seven years with the company.  Among his positions at Endemol, Mike has previously served as MD/Endemol Poland.  The move follows soon after Ynon Kreiz became CEO of Endemol.

Turner Broadcasting named former Heart FM MD Barnaby Dawe as VP/Marketing and Communications for all Turner Entertainment brands in the U.K. The channels include Cartoon Network, CN Too, Cartoonito, Boomerang, Turner Classic Movies, Adult Swim and Nuts TV.  Barnaby will report to Dee Forbes, Turner Broadcasting UK and Ireland's SVP and GM.
