Cynopsis: International
08/12/08

Good morning. It's Tuesday, August 12, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

With the military conflict between Georgia and Russia escalating, the former terminated the broadcasts of all Russian TV networks this past weekend, including Channel One, Rossiya and NTV, in addition to blocking .ru website domains in Georgia.

Aachen and Wiesbaden (say that 5 times), two regional cable channels owned by Germany's PrimaCom, have been sold to another German cable network operator, Unitymedia.  The price tag for the two was a little under $80 million (49.43 million euros).  This will extend Unitymedia's reach by another 100,000 cable households, enabling it to bring them its triple services of TV, telephone and internet.  Its previous reach only extended into analog and digital TV services in Aachen and Wiesbaden.  The deal is subject to regulatory approval.

In a new deal between the two, FremantleMedia Enterprises inked with Thom Beers' Original Productions to acquire all visual rights (excluding North America) to five new shows: Verminators, America's Port, L.A. Hard Hats, 1000 Ways to Die and Black Gold.  All will debut internationally at MIPCOM in October.

Scripps Networks' Great American Country (GAC) is taking a trip to another country following a down under deal with Australia's Country Music Channel for the series The Hitmen of Music Row.  Country Music Channel, a XYZnetworks network, is the first international network to sign a distribution agreement with GAC.

CABLEready is now in exclusive charge of the global distribution rights to several original programs from Burrud Productions. The Women in Peril high-def programming is about real women and will be unveiled at MIPCOM.  It includes Women in Fear (1x60-minutes), Women of The Occult (1x60-minutes), Women Addicted to S#x (1x60-minutes), Women Behind Bars Season 2 (12x60-minutes) and Women on Death Row (Episodes 3+4, 2x90-minutes).

A long-term deal has been signed between RTL Nederland and Eyeworks for the exclusive global distribution rights (excluding the Netherlands) to RTL 4's Who is the Chef? format.  The RTL Productions-created and produced show is airing as a weekday entertainment program in Holland this summer.

HISPANIC MARKET:

GolTV launches this week in New York City and LA on Time Warner Cable (TWC), bringing the markets its Spanish and English-language soccer coverage on TWC's Sports tier at channel 459 and the DTV en Espanol package at channel 820 in New York City. In LA, it will be added to the core Hispanic packages and on channel 856.  In addition, GolTV will debut in several Texas systems such as Austin and Waco and in New York's Hudson Valley system.

Telemundo Communications Group's owned and operated Stations Sales unit is launching Telemundo Conexion, a new multi-market, multi-platform branded sales initiative.  It will combine local TV with local station websites, mobile, digital out of home and grassroots Telemundo-hosted consumer events.  It first launched in LA and will be rolled out by end of the year in Miami, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Puerto Rico.

August 6's airing of Historias de Ultratumba on Discovery en Espanol brought the network the #1 spot for the night among all Spanish-language Pay TV networks for households, A18-49 and W18-49.  In addition, it held the top 10-11p ranking as well with a .77 share (93,000) for HHs, .57 (124,000) for A18-49 and .54 (56,000) for W18-49, according to Nielsen's NHIH/NHHI (Live+SD) ratings.
