Cynopsis: International
08/27/08

Good morning. It's Wednesday, August 27, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

ASTRO All Asia Entertainment Networks Limited and A&E Television Networks' AETN All Asia Networks Pte. Ltd. (AAAN) joint venture will launch The History Channel HD in Singapore and Hong Kong on September 1, marking the HISTORY HD brand's debut in the Asia-Pacific region.  It will make its first splash in Singapore on StarHub Digital Cable and in Hong Kong on now TV later next month.  The signal for HISTORY HD Asia will originate from Chello Benelux's Digital Media Centre broadcast facility in Amsterdam.

Italy's Mediaset broadcaster acquired several documentaries from C4i as part of their ongoing output agreement.  The new titles include The Real Superhumans (Proper Television, 1x120-minutes), Half Ton Man (Mentorn, 1x50-minutes), Aileen - Life And Death of a Serial Killer (Lafayette Films Ltd, 1x90-minutes), The Real Rainman (Focus Productions Ltd, 1x50-minutes) and Rude Tube (October Films Ltd, 1x50-minutes).

Season 1 and 2 of Fireworks International's Canadian drama The Border has been picked up by Fox's FX in the U.K. for a Spring 2009 primetime debut.  The 26-episode series is produced by Toronto's White Pine Pictures with Canada's CBC.

Karen Tso, an Australian business and finance journalist previously with Nine Network, is coming on board CNBC's editorial team in Australia this October.  She will anchor Squawk Australia, a 60-minute show about Australian and international business news.  Broadcasting takes place from CNBC's new studio in Sydney.  Karen will also be featured in the CNBC Market Updates, distributed on the SBS channel in Australia. 

Correction: The Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget debuting on September 20 will air exclusively on Canada's The Comedy Network, not Comedy Central as stated in yesterday's edition.

HISPANIC MARKET:

Bilingual entertainment/music network LATV will air a 60-minute special on the 23rd Annual Imagen Awards on August 28 at 8p with exclusive behind-the-scenes and red carpet footage of the ceremony.

Some Labor Day weekend programming ...
  • V-me will celebrate Labor Day with special programming throughout the day, including a kids marathon and the U.S. Spanish debut of Los Braceros in primetime.  The latter will air 8-830p, following the lives of the 4-6 million Mexican men working in the U.S. as part of the Bracero Program (Strong Arms to Aid the USA).  A preschool marathon will take place from 8a-5p, extending the regular 6-hour daily kids programming block with the debut of the new Boowa & Kwala series.
  • TeleFutura will have Reventon del Dia del Trabajo (Labor Day Party Special) on its Labor Day mind.  The live special event will bid a fun farewell to summer with hosts Charytin, Marisa del Portillo, Felipe Viel and Lilia Luciano on September 1 in Miami at 1p.

EXECUTIVE MOVES:

Sony Pictures Television International (SPTI) named Sergey Plotnikov as GM of its newest network, AXN SCI-FI.  The channel is in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan.  He joins from Moscow's City TV where he was CEO.  His mission for the new channel will be the AXN SCI-FI's continued expansion in Russia and the CIS region as well as business development locally for SPTI's networks operation.  He will be based in Moscow, reporting to Tom Davidson, SPTI's VP/International Networks.

Endemol named Tom Toumazis as its Chief Commercial Officer.  Although the actual start date has not been announced, Tom will oversee distribution growth and manage third-party distribution, scripted programming pre-sales and co-productions.  He reports to the Endemol's new CEO, Ynon Kreiz from his base in London.

ProSiebenSat.1 promoted its ProSieben Television Head/Corporate Communications and Business Development, Petra Fink, to be the new SVP/Business Development and Spokesperson of its German Free TV Holding unit.  As of September 15, she will report to German Free TV’s Head, Andreas Bartl.  Petra will be in charge of communications and diversifying the division’s stations.


Answer to Yesterday's Trivia Question:  What was the first name of the bearded lady on the HBO series Carnivale? LILA Kudos to only one: Eric Adler-Eric Adler Research/Clearwater, FL

Today's Trivia Question: After her long stint as Mrs. Brady, Florence Henderson became the long-term spokesperson for what name brand cooking product? (Email with your answer and be sure to include your name, company, city and time zone. Unofficial rules: Only the second four correct answers from each time zone will be mentioned; and once you've been mentioned in any of the Cynopsis editions, you can't be mentioned again that calendar week.)
