Cynopsis: International
09/08/08

Good morning. It's Monday, September 8, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

Italy's FASTWEB telecom provider is launching Warner Bros. International Television Distribution's Warner TV non-exclusively as a branded SVOD channel as of today.  The service's subscribers will gain access to a range of Warner Bros. TV series, films and cartoons such as ER, V (The Visitors), Looney Tunes: Back in Action and many others.  Previous Warner TV VOD channel launches include Top Up TV, Tiscali, Virgin Media and BT in the U.K., Germany's ProSieben, USEN Corporation's GyaO in Japan and France's Free TV.  A debut is also planned later this year in India.

Preschool network JimJam, a Chello Zone and HIT Entertainment joint venture, has reached Russia's audiences following a distribution deal with Akado.  The channel is geared towards K1-6 with puppetry, cartoons, songs with subtitles and more.  JimJam's Russian-language website,
www.ru.jimjam.tv , offers more info on the animated heroes, calendars and games.  This Russian launch brings the channel's reach to over 20 countries in Europe and the Middle East.

Shine Group's ShineReveille International inked several output agreements across 3 continents.  European station group SBS, Middle East Broadcasting Center and New Zealand's Sky Television pick up territorial exclusive first-looks for the international unit's formats and shows.  Programs from Shine-owned production houses Reveille, Kudos, Firefly and Princess Productions are also part of the deal as well as from other third-party companies.  The three networks have all made a commitment to broadcast a considerable amount of ShineReveille programming hours for this season.

Bulgaria's bTV, currently owned by News Corporation, is under scrutiny by Germany's RTL Group for a possible buy.  At this point, the commercial network's price tag is valued at 1.1 billion euros ($1.56 billion) with News Corp. hoping to sell it by the year's end.

HISPANIC MARKET:

The month of August results according to Nielsen Media Research for two of the U.S.' Hispanic networks ...
  • Telemundo's NTI results showed the network averaging 600,000 A18-49 with a 20% share of the three major Spanish-language broadcast networks for weekday primetime.  Dona Barbara, replacing the Victoria novela, averaged 667,000 A18-49 premiere-to-date after four weeks on the air at 9p.  The 10p Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso became Telemundo's highest-rated novela in NTI, averaging 884,000 A18-49 in August 2008.
  • Univision's current weekday 7-10p novela lineup averaged close to 4 million Viewers 2+, 2.2 million A18-49 and 1.3 million A18-34 every weeknight in the month.  For all of primetime, the network upped the ante to 3.39 million, 1.87 million and 1.12 million for the respective three demos.

EXECUTIVE MOVES:

ShineReveille named Eli Shibley as Manager/International Distribution and Creative Affairs, based in the company's London office.  Eli relocates from LA to work on European operations growth, working with Manager/East Europe Kate Ward.
