In This Issue: Promax Licensing Show Q&A with Lionsgate L.A. Screenings Guide THE BUSINESS JOURNAL OF FILM, BROADCASTING, BROADBAND, PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION JUNE/JULY 2008 VOL. 28 NO. 4 $9.75 ® www.videoage.org BY BOB JENKINS Is there a future for international program syndication in view of VoD and other digital marvels? That might seem like a peculiar question, but it is not as outlandish as it might first appear. Increasingly, major content producers are vertically integrating by owning their own channels and video-on-demand sites. In a few years the world will have gone completely digital, and this will, to a much greater extent than is currently the case, bring equality between channels. When this happens, the question bound to be asked is: Why am I selling my content to a rival? Or, why do I need a middleman, when I can reach viewers directly? And if content producers find they have a smaller appetite for selling, there is Is There a Future for Program Syndication? (Continued on Page 26) (Continued on Page 27) BY ERIN SOMERS The enduring popularity of telenovelas in Central and Eastern Europe will ensure that Latin soaps will again be a hot commodity at this year’s DISCOP market, which has added the “East” moniker, considering that the DISCOP brand has now expanded into Africa with a market set for 2009. The DISCOP East market, which caters to the Eastern European region, will take place June 18-20 at Budapest’s Sofitel, which lies on the Pest side of the city. In its 15th year, DISCOP continues to develop as television takes Central and Eastern Europe by storm. Dubbed an “emerging market” because there is still a big divide between what is spent per capita on TV advertising in the region and what is spent in more economically developed countries, Central and Eastern Europe’s greatest advantage, is its room for growth. This year, organizers and exhibitors alike were upbeat about what the expanding conference has to offer, and the lengthening roster of participating companies. Market organizer Patrick Jucaud is confident that the 2008 convention will Telenovelas Continue Reign at DISCOP What Stops Formats From Being Made: Money, Tech Formats, it seems are everywhere. But are there some that cannot be done? And have there been any great ideas that were too difficult or just too much before their time? If it is true that money makes the world go round, then, for quite some time now, formats have been the engine driving almost every broadcaster’s schedule on (Continued on Page 24) (Continued on Page 30) This year, the U.S. TV network upfronts –– the New York events that precede the U.S. studios’ Screenings in Los Angeles –– began on Monday, May 12 in the midst of a rainstorm. Whether it’s a sign of things to come remains to be seen. The fact is, though, that this year’s upfronts and L.A. Screenings are vastly different from previous years in that they’re leaner and more sober than usual. Most of the networks in New York and all of the studios in Los Angeles eliminated their traditional parties. Amazingly, the number of buyers who made the trek out to L.A. remained the same, about 1,200 — although some of them cut L.A.

Canada Airs TV Fees To PM Ear Afight between Canada’s cable industry and two of its national TV networks has landed at the country’s Prime Minister’s office, with both sides pleading their cases directly to Stephen Harper. Canadian TV networks CTV and Global want to start charging cable and satellite carriers for their signals — a plan that could be worth C$295 million to the broadcast industry. But the nets are facing opposition from distributors, who have said they would add the fees to consumers’ bills. Instead of waiting for the federal broadcast regulator, the Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), to rule, the two sides decided to go the unconventional route and write letters to Harper. Calgary-based cable operator Shaw Communications Inc. wrote to the Prime Minister in April, criticizing the nets. CTV responded with a letter of its own in which it said that networks are sick of giving their feeds to distributors for free since the distribs make large profits from the service. In response to that, the cable and satellite companies argued that they give the broadcasters access to millions of homes, thereby boosting their ad revenue. Worried that government officials would intervene before the CRTC could adequately assess the merits of the dispute, CTV said it felt “compelled to correct several fallacies” in Shaw’s letter. “I encourage you and your government to let the process continue and allow the CRTC to complete its review,” wrote Paul Sparkes, vice president of CTV globemedia Inc. CTV and Global have proposed a monthly fee of 50 cents per cable and satellite subscriber. Should the fees be approved, the cable and satellite companies have made it clear that they intend to pass them on to consumers, rather than pay the fee themselves. Of the C$295 million that has been proposed, CTV and Global would get about C$150 million. The networks have said that they plan to spend the money on local programming across the country. CNN Sued For Criticizing China Time Warner Inc.’s CNN and one of its commentators, Jack Cafferty, have been sued for $1.3 billion by a Chinese citizen and a U.S. citizen who claim they were defamed by remarks that the TV net said were aimed at China’s government. The lawsuit –– which asks for “$1 for every Chinese national CNN and Cafferty offended” –– follows comments made by Cafferty on April 9 when he said that Chinese exports were “junk” and referred to the Chinese as both “goons” and “thugs.” China’s foreign ministry immediately spoke out, saying the comments “slander” the Chinese people. Plaintiffs Li Lan Li, a retired Beijing elementary school teacher, and Lydia Leung, a Flushing, New York beautician, called the statements “defamatory, malicious, slanderous and libelous,” and have asked for damages on behalf of all Chinese. On April 16, CNN apologized for the comments, saying: “Jack was offering his strongly held opinion of the Chinese government, not the Chinese people. CNN would like to clarify that it was not Mr. Cafferty’s, nor CNN’s, intent to cause offense to the Chinese people, and would apologize to anyone who has interpreted the comments in this way.” Power PR Firm Launches Web TV Up-and-coming media talents now have a chance to win major contracts, thanks to Edelman Studios, a new program created by powerful New York-based public relations firm, Edelman. On April 28, the company launched a branch that connects talented amateur content creators with big-name companies looking for innovative advertising ideas. The program operates by gathering and developing Web content with commercial potential, including Web series, short films and viral videos. Hopefuls from this pool will have a chance to compete for professional contracts. Edelman Studios has signed an impressive client roster, including such heavy hitters as Burger King Corp, Butterball, Expedia and Kraft’s Philadelphia Cream Cheese. The companies involved are looking to come up with novel ways to reach their customers. Content submissions can be from any medium from video to mobile, and those selected will team up with members of Edelman’s entertainment arm to complete assignments.

Sarkozy-ing French TV In January, French president Nicolas Sarkozy announced plans for what some are now calling a “French BBC” by banning advertising on public television. In fact, last summer, Sarkozy’s advisor even visited the U.K. to study the BBC. Media tycoons, including Martin Bouygues, owner of TF1, France’s biggest private broadcaster, stand to gain should advertising be banned from stateowned television. The four public channels in France are financed by a mix of license fees and commercial revenues. License fees have been kept at 116 euros since 2002, and Sarkozy has made it clear that he doesn’t intend to raise them. Replacing the ad revenue and paying for programming to fill empty spots in the line-up will cost approximately one billion euros. The deficit will be made up by new taxes. Commercial broadcasters will be taxed on the surplus revenue that they stand to generate. Taxes on broadcasters will be complemented by a tax of around one percent on ISPs and mobile providers. But with the clock ticking towards the implementation date, which Sarkozy indicated as January 2009, there is uncertainty as to how any of this will actually be achieved. German B’caster Loses Revenue Germany’s largest private broadcaster, ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG, which runs the Sat 1 and Pro7 channels, reported the biggest decline in revenue in company history. In the first quarter of 2008, the value of the company’s stock plummeted 28 percent to 9.75 euros and earnings dropped 25 percent. Analysts have attributed the fall to fines incurred in October 2007. The company was penalized by Germany’s national cartel office for offering rebates to advertisers to boost sales, which harmed smaller competitors. The fines amounted to 120 million euros (U.S.$188 million). Additionally, ProSiebenSat.1 recently acquired SBS Broadcasting, a company with TV and radio stations all over JU N E 2 0 0 8 World Wrestling Entertainment® TELEVISION | ON DEMAND | PAY-PER-VIEW | LIVE EVENTS | FILMS | MOBILE | HOME VIDEO | PUBLISHING | MUSIC | LICENSED PRODUCTS | ONLINE All WWE programming, talent names, images, likenesses, slogans, wrestling moves, trademarks, logos and copyrights are the exclusive property of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

As a result of the loss, Peter Christmann, head of Sales and Marketing, resigned. The company plans to cut costs by 70 million euros over the course of this year to compensate for declining profits. Singapore TV Fined For Gay Show In April, Singapore’s Media Corp TV Channel 5 was fined for airing a show that featured a gay couple and their baby in a way that “promotes a gay lifestyle,” according to the city-state’s media regulator. The Media Development Authority (MDA) fined the channel 15,000 Singapore dollars (U.S.$10,950) after the station aired an episode of home décor series Find and Designthat featured a gay couple that wanted to turn their game room into a new nursery for their adopted child. The MDA said that the episode included scenes of the couple and their baby, as well as the host’s acknowledgement of them as a family “in a way that normalizes their gay lifestyle and unconventional family setup.” The episode violated rules of free-to-air programming which bans content seen to be promoting, justifying or glamorizing the gay lifestyle, according to the MDA. Earlier this year, the MDA fined StarHub Cable Vision, a local cable TV operator, 10,000 Singapore dollars (U.S.$7,300) for airing a commercial depicting two lesbians kissing. Under Singapore law, gay sex is “an act of gross indecency” and is punishable by a maximum of two years in prison. Spike Lee, Nokia In Mobile Movie Nokia is teaming up with U.S. director Spike Lee to create a short film made up of videos shot on mobile phones. The film will be a collage of three five-minute videos, all pertaining to the theme “humanity.” Lee, who recently directed Inside Man and When the Levees Broke , joined the project because he was interested in collaborating with the public and experimenting with an alternate medium that might take off in the next few years. For Finland-based cell-phone manufacturer Nokia, the project is an attempt to re-brand itself as an entertainment-friendly company, much like Apple has done with the iPod and iPhone. However, the firm has denied that its partnership with Lee is solely a marketing gimmick. According to Nokia executives, the project will also serve to show the possibilities of mobile phones in producing entertainment. Critics of Nokia’s mission have pointed out that it is doubtful that films shot on phones will become a genre of their own. At press time, the company had not found a carrier willing to distribute the film to viewers on mobile phones.

L.A. Welcome U.K.’s Colonialists Tinseltown honored its British population during the last week of April, with its annual Brit Week celebration. For the second year in a row, the festival paid tribute to the contributions of Hollywood transplants from the U.K. Sponsored mainly by U.K.-based Virgin Megastores, the event featured screenings of a variety of films showcasing the immense influence of Britain on American cinema. Anglophiles got their fill of Britishdirected classics at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Egyptian Theater and the Aero Theater, where, among other films, Lawrence of Arabia, City Lights and The Man Who Wasn’t There , were shown. Other festivities included a British comedy festival, a celebrity soccer match hosted by David Beckham’s Galaxy soccer team, and an appearance by rock group Duran Duran. Special “U.K. maps” highlighting Hollywood’s British enclaves and U.K.-owned shops were distributed to tourists. The event organizers hoped the festival served as a reminder of the importance of British creatives in the American entertainment industry. British producers and directors have an impressive history in AmericanTV, with recent credits spanning such hits as Survivor , The Apprentice , Dancing With the Starsand American Idol . Regulators to Bow to Murdoch? As he nears the completion of a deal to acquire Newsday from the Tribune Company, Rupert Murdoch seems poised to pose the first challenge to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) recently adopted media ownership rule. Even before the Newsday deal, Murdoch had been in the process of seeking waivers that would allow him to continue to control two newspapers ( The New York Postand The Wall Street Journal ) and two TV stations (WNYW and WWOR) in New York. While those requests are still pending at the FCC, the Newsdaydeal would mean that Murdoch would now have to apply for a waiver to own two stations and three papers — all in the same market. The new rule, which was passed in December of last year, allows a firm to own just one paper and one TV station in the same city in the top 20 markets so long as there are at least eight other independent sources of news and the station is not in the top four. The stations currently under Murdoch’s thumb are the fourth- and sixth-largest in New York. The new deal comes to light at the same time that Congress is taking up a measure that could restore the old ownership rule, which barred companies from owning both a newspaper and a TV station in the same city — unless granted a waiver from the FCC. Under the old rule, Murdoch managed to control two local TV stations through one permanent and one temporary waiver. The renewal of both stations’ licenses has been under review since 2006 and has oft been challenged by groups who oppose the consolidation of media. Murdoch’s News Corp has already joined a host of broadcasters and newspaper companies in a lawsuit that challenges the ownership restrictions as a violation of their First Amendment rights. Industry lobbyists have said that Murdoch would most likely say that his ownership of multiple papers and TV stations would pose no problem in New York since it’s the most diverse media market in the world. But critics say that should News Corp be permitted to control two stations and three newspapers in the same market, it would render the rule meaningless.

Today, the Production Code that policed morality in motion pictures from 1930 to 1968 looks like plain old censorship. By modern standards, the rules governing suggestive content, controversial subject matter and vulgar language in American cinema appear stuffy and prudish, not to mention unconstitutional. Will H. Hays, the head of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) –– the precursor to the current Motion Picture Association of America –– during Hollywood’s golden age, has long taken the rap as the villain behind the code. But outside of film history buffs and those who have researched industry arcana, few realize that Hays was actually just a figurehead, more concerned with New Deal era politics than the minutiae of big screen regulation. In Hollywood’s Censor (2007, Columbia University Press, 427 pages, U.S. $29.50), author Thomas Doherty debunks the popular misconception that Hays was Tinseltown’s watchdog, revealing that the real man behind the curtain was irrepressible Irish-American Joseph I. Breen. Although he is all but forgotten to history, Breen exercised vast control over the motion picture industry, with an influence in standardizing world thinking that was likened to “Mussolini, Hitler, or Stalin” by Libertymagazine, a trade rag of the day. For better or worse, it was Breen and his staunchly conservative tastes that scrubbed the silver screen of sex and blasphemy. The Production Code was instituted for a variety of reasons. By the early 30s, talkies had revolutionized the industry and were pushing the boundaries of what was deemed acceptable in the media. Doherty, who often takes the side of the censors, describes the period of relative screen freedom preceding the Code as a time when “trigger-happy gangsters, wisecracking dames, and subversive rebels, male and female, ran wild through the lawless territory of American cinema.” Sound had opened the floodgates to the possibilities of spoken vulgarities and a whole new level of innuendo. Women’s Societies and Temperance Unions, as well as Catholic and Protestant organizations were scandalized by the new raciness of the movies, and they weren’t afraid to lead boycotts. Censor boards in religious enclaves like Catholic-heavy Chicago and Baptist-laden Atlanta were having a field day banning movies. With box office numbers at a low, the entertainment industry was discovering that it was not immune to the Depression. By the time Breen arrived in Los Angeles in 1934, the religious zealots, Hollywood producers and the Roosevelt administration were all, for once, in agreement: the system needed a major overhaul. Will Hays, a former post-master general under the Harding administration, had attempted to institute a method of industry self-regulation in 1930 through the MPPDA, but his attempts were impotent, due to a lack of government backing and industry clout. It wasn’t until the government interceded in an attempt to revive dwindling audiences, that the Production Code Administration (PCA) was created. Breen, a former journalist, public relations man and bureaucrat, had made a name for himself as one of Chicago’s prominent Catholics. During the 20s and 30s, Chicago was, paradoxically, a gangster haven and Catholic hub. Due to its booming population, the city’s censorship board actually wielded a good deal of power over Hollywood. If a film was banned in Chicago, chances were it would not be a box office hit. Being a squeaky-clean Chicago bigwig with an understanding of PR and the way the film industry operated, Breen was the ideal man to head the PCA. When Breen took the helm at the PCA, Hollywood got the renovation conservatives were looking for. Breen and his staff “vetted storylines, bluepenciled dialogue, and exercised final cut over hundreds of motion pictures a year.” The PCA had government backing, and those who did not comply V I D E O • A G E JU N E 2 0 0 8 12 B o o k R e v i e w Hollywood Drama Behind The 1930s Production Code with the agency’s “suggestions” were fined $25,000, the equivalent of approximately $300,00 in today’s money. Breen’s censorship was ruled by four key principles: the sacredness of the bonds of matrimony, the suppression of “things of the flesh,” the veneration of women, and the respect for authority. The PCA staff considered these standards to be sacrosanct, and the code was constructed to enforce them as strictly as possible. The most amusing portions of the book outline some of the code’s more ridiculous regulations. In addition to the obvious rules governing sex and profanity, all foreign words had to be translated into English, babies in diapers were classified as “bathroom humor” and forbidden, and even showing a cow being milked was deemed too provocative for impressionable audiences. Needless to say, Breen was a thorn in the side of the lion’s share of Hollywood writers, directors, and producers. Getting script approval from the PCA was an arduous process that often spanned many months. One anecdote recalls legendary director Alfred Hitchcock’s first run-in with Breen, during the pre-production of the film Rebecca. Any movie involving a murder was always judged a “tough nut to crack” by the agency, and commanded extra attention. Thus, the approval process of Rebecca limped along at an infuriating snail’s pace. When asked to comment on his battle with the censors, a jovial Hitch responded, “Breen wants Rebeccato die of cancer, and I want her to be shot with a gun.” Hitchcock’s attitude was not the norm, however. Filmmakers chafed under Breen’s regulatory hand. Yet despite grumbling from producers, the Production Code did give the box office a much-needed jolt. Churchgoers returned to the movies and stern Chicago opened its movie house doors to anything with its golden boy’s stamp of approval. Doherty catalogues the upside of the Production Code with enthusiasm. It saved films from the over-critical eye of local censors and boosted ticket sales. Additionally, the Code provided filmmakers with a set of regulations under which they could better hone their art. The Code called for an increased subtlety in screenwriting that is all but unheard of today. Gone is the subversive sexual tension that lies just below the scrubbed surface of a Code-approved Billy Wilder or Frank Capra film. The sheer inventiveness of the films that were forced to disguise sexuality, bawdy humor and violence appears masterful alongside today’s outright scatological box office hits. Still, Doherty’s insistence that the PCA was an ingenious system of “selfregulation,” rather than censorship, or even propaganda, comes off as suspect. Joseph Breen may have been a good guy who was just doing his job, and Hollywood may have even benefited from the PCA in the short run. But Breen and his ultraconservative cronies were still responsible for enforcing a system of draconian and oldfashioned regulations that crippled artistic expression in America for decades. ES
