CABLEU 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 Cynopsis: International 07/10/08 Good morning. It's Thursday, July 10, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Less than one month before the Olympics begin, global broadcasters have finally been given the go ahead by the Chinese government to broadcast live via satellite from other Beijing and co-host city locations besides the sports arena used for the Olympics. Limited access will be given Tiananmen Square from 6-10a and 9-11p for rights holders only with television crews only allowed to pre-record content in the Square. National Geographic Channels International (NGCI) now has the international premiere rights for the 13-episode Monkey Thieves series outside of France from Off the Fence Productions. In addition, NGCI picked up 6 new episodes of Michael Hoff Production's Super Factories from Off the Fence with the two series debuting in August and later in July, respectively. Other NGCI buys include SuperCarrier (2x60-minutes) and Flight of the Elephants (1x60-minutes) while Nat Geo Wild took 30 hours of programming such as Wild Asia (9x60-minutes), Scavengers of the Sea (1x60-minutes), Animal Inventors (3x60-minutes), Caught Barehanded (1x60-minutes) and Fishzilla (1x60-minutes). Competition may just pick up if Argentina goes through with its plans half the amount of broadcast licenses a company can own. The current regulations are set for 24 with the big three in the country, Grupo Clarin, Grupo Uno and Telefonica (Spain), owning the majority. The proposed changes will also concern broadcasting definition from a service to a business, per Variety. The bills on the table are based on U.S. legislation. IMG Sports Media has been named by the conferences and universities that participate in the Bowl Championship Series as the exclusive international media rights rep for the series that begins in 2011. Up in Canada, Astral Media's Family Channel is going Hannah crazy with the broadcast of Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert 3D on July 26 at 8p, day and date with the U.S.' Disney Channel. CROSS-MARKET: The Major League Baseball All-Star coverage on ESPN from Yankee Stadium (last season at the old ballpark - can you believe it has arrived?) will be shown on ESPN Deportes and ESPN International, among other ESPN platforms. On July 14 at 8p, it will air a live presentation of the 2008 State Farm Home Run Derby. There will be a preview to the event at 730p on ESPN Deportes and the Spanish-language network will also televise the Futures Game live. Both ESPN Radio and ESPN Deportes Radio will broadcast the 79th All-Star Game on July 15 at 8p while Joe D'Ambrosio comes in to host pre- and post-game shows. ESPN International will have live coverage of the All-Star Game and Futures Game on its networks broadcasting in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and New Zealand. Coverage of the Home Run Derby will also be made available in these regions, plus Australia. NASN will air the All-Star Game to 43 countries throughout Europe. HISPANIC MARKET: History en Espanol will air a special set in the Wild West era about what happened to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid after they fled the U.S. Butch Cassidy in Patagonia, an Anima Films production, debuts on July 13 at 8p. In its season-to-date, Galavision posted increases among A18-49 in both Prime (+9%) and Total Day (+6%), according to Nielsen, reaching over 11 million A18+ viewers.
