Pitch Smarter. Cynopsis: International 09/19/08 Good morning. It's Friday, September 19, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: Central and Eastern European TV broadcaster Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (CME) and MTV Networks International (MTVNI) inked a multi-year licensing deal for the rights to launch a localized MTV channel in the Czech Republic. The agreement also covers an opportunity to distribute the channel on cable and satellite platforms in the Slovak Republic. MTV Czech is scheduled to debut in the first half of 2009 as a fully-localized, 24-hour channel with MTVNI working closely with CME and TV Nova to bring in a mix of locally produced content, Czech adaptations of MTV formats and other programs such as Pimp My Ride and Cribs subtitled in Czech. MTV Czech will be part of TV Nova's terrestrial and cable entertainment and thematic channels. ITV plc is renaming and joining ITV Worldwide, Granada International and Granada Ventures under the new ITV Global Entertainment Ltd. name. Headed up by President and MD Peter Iacono, the company will act as ITV's international distribution division for TV, home entertainment, publishing, consumer products and global networks businesses. The merged Granada International and Granada Ventures businesses previously referred to as ITV Worldwide will now be folded once more with the new combined division being part of ITV's Global Content Division. iD Distribution renewed its first-look deal with indie production house Colonial Pictures into 2009. Under the deal, over 20 hours of new programming will be delivered for global distribution over the next year. Pre-sales for FremantleMedia Enterprises are picking up with U.K. broadcasters taking U.S.-based Original Productions' Black Gold (8x60-minutes), Verminators (13x60-minutes) and 1000 Ways to Die (12x30-minutes) ahead of their official launch at MIPCOM. Five acquired the U.K. premiere rights to Black Gold for its Five terrestrial and Fiver digital while The History Channel has the second window rights. The latter two series have been exclusively bought by Virgin Media Television for Virgin1 and Bravo, respectively. Entertainment Rights secured the U.K. home entertainment rights to Frankenstein's Cat from Mackinnon & Saunders. The 30x11-minute animated comedy series airing on CBBC is targeted to the K6-9 demo. As part of the agreement, ER has the option to distribute future series and spin-offs as the show develops. First plan of action is an October 20 release of the The Cat From A Kit DVD with 8x11-minute episodes. Target Entertainment Group sold Ten Years Younger's format to Germany's RTL with MME producing the series for a daily mid-morning slot as of October. ProSieben acquired season 7 of talent show Popstars. Tresor, which has produced all the Popstars series in Germany, will also produce this season. London's Cineflix International Ltd brought in a batch of deals with three terrestrial broadcasters in Germany. RTL is the new buyer of Cineflix in-house production Mayday's season 2 and 3. NDR Germany captured the 6x60-minute Trapped while Prosieben's Kabel 1 has season 3 of Huge Moves, a Cineflix co-production with the U.K.'s Windfall Films. Starz Media picked up two new shows, assuming international rights distribution duties for all 3 seasons of sketch-comedy series The Whitest Kids U Know and the Christmas Proposal film. Both will get their global feet wet at October's MIPCOM. Toronto's Breakthrough Entertainment has signed numerous broadcast agreements covering several genres. Here's the sales scoop ... Kids:
