Cyn opsis: International 08/05/08 Good morning. It's Tuesday, August 5, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Following up on Lavena Holding 4 GmbH's put option to force a buy, Telegraaf Media Group acquired a 12% stake in Germany's ProSiebenSat.1 for $587 million. The price came out to $44.72 a share, whereas the network's share price is presently trading at $8.56. Lavena bought the option last year when Telegraaf Media Group sold its SBS stake to KKR and Lavena. In India, News Corporation is infusing quite a bit of money in 6 new regional channels. A sum of $100 million to be exact. The company also announced plans for an international stock index with more details to be given at a later date. As for the TV channels, they will each operate in their regional language starting in 2009. Broadcast Management Sweden's TV7 has been purchased by NonStop Television with a relaunch already scheduled by fall as part of the newly minted deal. The 2-year old entertainment channel and its Swedish digital terrestrial network license were taken by NonStop. Plans also include launches beyond Sweden in Norway, Denmark and Finland. German speakers in Europe will have a new U.S.-focused channel to peek at as of October 4. Fox's international channel with its many American shows picked up carriage as part of a carriage agreement on the Premiere pay-TV platform on Premiere Film in Austria, Germany and Switzerland in addition to Premiere hotels HISPANIC MARKET: August 1 on Telemundo proved to be a good night with the finale of Victoria. For the A18-49 audience, the 9p telenovela's finale averaged 799,000 while its 35-week run averaged741,000 A18-49, according to Nielsen's NTI ratings. Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Sports en Espanol joined forces with FC Barcelona, the American Youth Soccer Organization and Malaria No More to debut the international More than a Club: Kick it to Malaria initiative with an Every Goal Saves a Life awareness campaign. Beginning September 2, a $10 contribution will be made to Malaria No More for each goal scored during both channels' live and premiere telecasts for certain tournaments, representing a donated mosquito net to families affected by malaria in Africa. AFRICAN AMERICAN MARKET: The Democratic convention in Denver is coming up in but a few weeks. TV One will have live, nightly primetime coverage of the event from August 25 through August 28, followed by TV One Live: DNC Afterparty. The rather irreverent 60-minute post-convention show with Jacque Reid and Rev. Marcia and Michael Eric Dyson will take an African American cultural look on the events of the day with panelists' commentary and stories from the convention floor and the Denver streets. Convention coverage co-hosts Joe Madison (XM Satellite and WOL-AM radio talk show host) and Arthur Fennell (CN8 news principal anchor and managing editor) will also interview Congressional Black Caucus members and other leaders with a multitude of contributors. In addition, August 28 marks the 45th anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King's 1963 March on Washington. TV One will air special programming all day to commemorate the anniversary. GAY/LESBIAN MARKET: Although we can't mention the actual name of the series due to the possibility of spam blockers ... here! will launch a new 6 episode half hour show and a 60-minute special this winter taking a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of several gay adult cinema stars and their lives. Part of the title ... "Everything You Wanted To Know About Gay #### Stars *but were afraid to ask."
