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 Cynopsis: International 07/09/08 Good morning. It's Wednesday, July 9, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: PorchLight Entertainment inked an exclusive international distribution, licensing and merchandising deal with Lincoln Butterfield Animation for its Tan animated series. Lincoln Butterfield will produce a 26x30-minute run with each episode consisting of two 11-minute shorts in time for a Fall 2009 launch. The K6-11-targeted show is about a new graduate (he's actually an egg) from the Lo Fat Martial Arts Academy & Cooking School and how he sets off to find friends and fortune and learn the ways of the world. Just to add some interesting drama ... Tan lives in a world with several crazy monkeys who wear little red Fezzes. Toronto producer/distributor Tricon Films & Television sold a few of its factual and lifestyle programs internationally with the 13-part Marriage Under Construction (season 1) going to The Home Channel in Africa, Canal+ Poland, SBS Netherlands and Finland's Nelonen. The latter, MGM Latin America (for its Casa Club TV channel), Canal+ Poland, Hungary's TV Paprika and Israel's Ananey Communications also took Fresh with Anna Olson (season 1). Nelonen has the 60-minute documentary specials Slut and Catfight while Ananey picked up Seasons 2 and 3 of Restaurant Makeover. It also went to France's Cuisine:tv and the Ukraine's Menu TV. Ad Persuasion (season 1 and 2) goes to Planete France, Viasat Scandanavia and Latin America's HSM Management with in-flight deals being signed with Spafax for British Airways and Inflight Productions for Etihad Airlines, China Airlines and Dragonair. From London to Argentina ... ITV Worldwide's The Rich List entertainment format is all set to debut in primetime on Telefe later in the month. The locally produced Argentinean version will air weekly on the Susana Gimenez Show. The original format was created by 12 Yard Productions, the format production biz recently bought by ITV. Ready to poke fun at reality shows? Reality Bites Back is a new series debuting July 24 at 10p, exclusively on Canada's The Comedy Network and on-demand at www.thecomedynetwork.ca . The 30-minute series satirizes all the biggies in the reality genre as stand-up comedians battle each other in weekly parody contests for a cash prize and the Lord of All Reality title. Michael Ian Black hosts. HISPANIC MARKET: As part of NBC Universal's wide-ranging coverage of the Olympic Games, Telemundo will broadcast from the games for the second time. The network will air over 380 hours of Spanish-language coverage over 19 days starting the day before the Opening Ceremony on August 7 with two men's soccer matches. The content will air throughout its standard daily broadcast schedule, 2-6a and 8-10a. Telemundo will feature live men's and women's soccer, basketball, gymnastics, diving, volleyball, track and field, swimming and baseball. Special programs will also focus on participating Latin American countries and Hispanic athletes. Its Olympic website www.Telemundo.NBCOlympics.com and www.OlimpiadasTelemundo.com will include 220 hours of exclusive video content in Spanish. Casting Call: Si TV is looking for two San Diego residents, one male and one female, to become reporters for the network covering the city's trends. On July 12 and 13 from 10a-6p, during the National Council of La Raza expo, open call audition applicants will be given a minute to create a mock segment in front of a Si TV judges panel. Finalists will be selected by the end of July 13. AFRICAN AMERICAN MARKET: TV One will offer live, nightly primetime coverage of the Democratic convention in Denver from August 25 through August 28. The coverage will be followed by TV One Live: DNC Afterparty, a 60-minute show anchored by Jacque Reid with co-hosts Rev. Marcia and Michael Eric Dyson taking an African American cultural perspective on the events of the day with a panelist discussion and local Denver folks' opinions. The convention coverage will be co-hosted by Joe Madison, XM Satellite and WOL-AM radio talk show host, and Arthur Fennell, CN8 news' principal anchor/managing editor. It will also include interviews with Congressional Black Caucus members and other leaders and speakers throughout the week. As August 28, the date on which Senator Obama is scheduled to make his acceptance speech, also marks the 45th anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King's 1963 March on Washington, TV One has a full day of special programming planned to honor the anniversary. Two documentaries, MLK: A Dream Deferred and MLK: The Making of a Holiday, will air that day, as will specials based on Tavis Smiley's 2008 State of the Black Union and Lessons from Little Rock: A National Report Card. In other TV One news, the network will debut a new series of 4 documentaries about civil rights cold cases starting on October 5 at 10p. Filmed in cooperation with the FBI and built to examine and possibly help solve civil rights murders from the 1940s and '50s, Murder in Black and White will air for 4 consecutive nights. Hosted by Rev. Al Sharpton, the 60-minute parts were produced by Till Freedom Come Productions. They include eyewitness and FBI case agents' information, forensic scientists, reenactments and more.
