CABLE
U U WANT TO HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD? Sound off on our industry at the CableU Confidential Blog ! The CU Confidential Blog features exclusive articles written by industry professionals, interviews with programming execs, and now, it's YOUR place to hear and be heard. CableU Confidential - Now U Know. www.CableU.tv Cyn opsis: International 07/07/08 Good morning. It's Monday, July 7, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: After attempting to ink an agreement on price for several months, Italy's Mediaset has stated that it will not consent to its Sky Italia satellite rival carrying Mediaset's Premium Gallery pay TV channels. However, the door is being left open regarding other content such as sports. The U.K.'s CITV has commissioned Bookaboo! (13x10-minutes), a new multiplatform, mixed live-action/animated preschool series about a drumming 'rock puppy', who just can't seem to perform his drum solo unless a story has been read to him. Bookaboo! will be produced by Happy Films with celeb guests helping out by reading stories to the puppy so he can go on. ITV's commission supports the UK's National Year of Reading 2008 effort to promote kid and adult literacy. The series will be supported by an online Bookaboo Book Club, as well as live events and in-store promotions. TVI in Portugal bought the Caiga Quien Caiga format from Eyeworks Cuatro Cabezas, Eyeworks' Argentinean unit. The Portuguese-language local version of the humor and irony-filled take on news program will have an October premiere with Cuatro Cabezas in charge of production. In Australia, ABC has ordered a second run of The Gruen Transfer from Zapruder's other films. The advertising-focused show goes into production early in 2009. EM.Entertainment and Munich-based Your Family Entertainment (f/k/a RTV Family Entertainment), will jointly agreed to end their four-year old distribution pact as of September 30, 2008. Moving forward the kid-targeted programming included under the previous deal will be distributed on a non-exclusive basis by both EM.Entertainment and Your Family Entertainment until the agreement expires on September 30. Canada's YTV is set to premiere the reality series The Next Star (12 episodes) on Friday, July 18 at 6p. Hosted by Adamo Ruggiero (Degrassi: The Next Generation), the series features 12 kids, all under 15-years-old, going head-to-head to earn a recording contract with Universal Music Canada. The Next Star series is produced by Toronto-based Tricon Films & Television in association with YTV. In addition to panel of judges, including Suzie McNeil (INXS), Christopher Ward (songwriter) and Steve Cranwell (music marketing exec), folks at home will be called on to vote for their favorite performers via www.ytv.com and text message to help determine the winner. Indie producer Kindle Entertainment will debut its new preschool puppet series, Big and Small (52x11), on CBeebies this fall 2008. A co-production between Kindle Entertainment and 3J's productions, Big and Small is produced in association with Treehouse (Canada). With the goal of encouraging preschoolers to see things in different ways, the series follows the adventures of Big and Small, two best friends who are opposites, and features the puppets/puppetry from The Grogs workshop. In the UK the series features the voices of noted personalities, actor/comedian, Lenny Henry and actress, Imelda Staunton. While in Canada the series will feature the voice talent of The Grogs. Charles Wheeler, who has served the BBC since 1947, passed away from lung cancer. The 85-year old earned the distinction of being the longest serving foreign correspondent for the broadcaster and was knighted in 2006 for his journalism service. First beginning in news as a Daily Sketch copy boy, Charles covered U.S. stories for the BBC such as Watergate and the Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy assassinations as well as BBC Radio 4 documentaries. He was creating a show about the Dalai Lama just before he passed away. LATAM MARKET: In post-DISCOP news, Globo TV International renewed its contract with Armenia TV for the broadcast of two daily slots of TV Globo telenovelas. The two companies have been working together for the past four years. Armenian viewers currently watch the Brazilian producer's Snakes & Lizards and Like a Wave. GAY/LESBIAN MARKET: Logo's mid-summer film festival lineup started this week with the debut of East Side Story in the regular Sunday 10p slot running for the month of July. EXECUTIVE MOVES: Impossible Pictures brought in Sophie Gardiner as Executive Producer/Drama from her prior position as Interim Commissioning Editor/Drama at Channel 4. Claire Ingham also joins as Head/Drama Development working with Sophie while Nancia Leggett comes to Impossible as Head/Marketing. Among other projects, the former Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment exec will manage and develop the Primeval brand. Answer to Yesterday's Trivia Question: Who am I? My wife Eleanor and I live in Baltimore with my wife, brother and my dad, a retired railroad man. I'm a garbage man by trade, tho I also like to play poker and did a term in the Army. Eleanor is a nurse, and sometimes to pick up a few extra bucks, I'll work as an orderly at the hospital. Who am I?
