Good morning. It's Tuesday, September 2, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

MTV Networks International (MTVNI) is launching its first international high-def service dedicated to music and kids. The 24-hour, English-language MTVNHD (MTV Networks High Definition) begins its life on September 15 in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Poland and Sweden at noon (CET) with 30 Seconds to Mars' video A Beautiful Lie. More than 300 hours of programming has been ordered up for the next two years from the companies' brands.  The next moves will most likely be into France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the U.K., Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela by the end of this year.  MTVNI's Emerging Markets Group, which will operate MTVNHD, will produce and broadcast the channel from its Warsaw hub with content produced by other global MTV Networks production divisions in Southern Europe, the U.K. and Latin America.  Shows include regular MTV fare such as MTV Unplugged and VH1 Storytellers as well as Isle of MTV, Roskilde, the MTV Video Music Awards and the MTV Europe Music Awards.  Here are a few of MTVNHD's original HD programming ...
  • Chartblast - A 60-minute weekday countdown show
  • HD Extreme - A 30-minute, extreme sports magazine series
  • MTV Top 20 - A weekly 90-minute show taking a look back at the best of ... with host Ortiz
  • Uncompressed - A weekly 60-minute show with each carrying different themes in music hosted by Perfect

BBC Worldwide debuted BBC Entertainment and CBeebies in Latin America late last week as part of its distribution deal with SKY Mexico to offer both to close to 1.7million households in Mexico, Central America and the Dominican Republic.

The U.K.'s Aardman is growing a bit more with the launch of a new Aardman Rights division dedicated to marketing, licensing and global TV distribution.  Sean Clarke is moving up from Aardman's Head/Marketing and Licensing to be the new unit's Head to manage the marketing and sales teams.

In South Africa this week, MultiChoice began broadcasting ESPN Classic and 4 London-based BBC channels, including BBC Entertainment, BBC Knowledge, BBC Lifestyle and CBeebies.  BBC Food and BBC Prime will head out the door with the above 4 BBC channels replacing these two.

SABC2 inked an agreement with Telcast Media Group's Earth Television Network to launch live earth TV shows daily.  As of this week, SABC2 will air earth TV's The World LIVE four times daily with 90-second shorts.  SABC2 also commissioned a local version of the format titled South Africa LIVE, follow the same format and frequency as The World Live but based on feeds from new earth TV cameras installed in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Londolozi in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve.

EXECUTIVE MOVES:

As part of the launch of its new Aardman Rights division, Aardman upped Sean Clarke to be Head, overseeing its marketing and sales teams, while Jennifer Burgos is Head of Marketing.  Sean was previously Head/Marketing and Licensing at Aardman with Jennifer coming in from her Turner Broadcasting position as Director/Sponsorship and Licensed Promotions.  Alix Wiseman continues to be Head/Sales for TV, DVD and new media.  Former Radica Games exec Rob Goodchild will be Licensing Manager.

Virgin Media Television (VMtv) promoted its former Commissioning Editor/LIVING Mark Sammon to enter into a newly created role as VMtv's Head/Commissions.  His move is part of a commissioning team restructure.  Mark will commission all original productions for VMtv's LIVING, Virgin1, Bravo, Challenge and Trouble, reporting to Claudia Rosencrantz, Director/Television.  Reporting to Mark will be a team of commissioning editors including Sophie Morgan, Rebecca Johnson and Lucy Pilkington.  Chris Collie, previously Head/Scheduling for LIVING and Virgin1, has been upped to another new VMtv position, Head/Scheduling and Channel Strategy.

Sony Pictures Television International's Animax Broadcast Japan Inc. named Masato (Mark) Oda as Deputy President and GM, replacing Shingo Ishiyama.  In addition to becoming a board member, Masato will manage daily operations and development, including the Japanese anime channel's programming, sales, marketing, on-air promotions and technical operations.

Nickelodeon and Viacom Consumer Products (NVCP) upped Andres Mochon to VP/NVCP for Latin America. The prior Director/NVCP for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, he will now be responsible for MTV Networks International's licensing and merchandising for its properties in all Latin American markets. Based in Miami, he will report to Jean-Philippe Randisi, SVP and MD/NVCP Canada, Europe and Latin America.  Jennifer Lawlor, who will also report to Jean-Philippe, was named to the newly created position of VP/Agent Territories, NVCP for Europe, Near East and Africa.  Based in London, she will oversee NVCP's agent partnerships in ENEA markets such as Greece, Israel, Italy, Poland and Spain.

Kerstin Mogull, the BBC's Deputy Director/Policy and Strategy, is moving to a newly created position at the company. The COO/Future Media and Technology will manage the FMT division and work with other BBC units such as visual, audio, music and journalism and the BBC Trust.  She reports to FMT's Director, Erik Huggers.
