Media: Globo TV Cracks New Markets in Asia Pacific, including Australia

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 27: Globo TV International has expanded its Asia-Pacific business, scoring a volume deal with Australia’s Dream House Entertainment and an agreement for the broadcast of The Clone in Singapore.
Under its agreement with Dream House Entertainment in Australia, 1,900 hours of telenovelas from Globo TV International will be broadcast until 2010 via subscription channel La Telenovela. The channel will dedicate three of its slots to Globo’s telenovelas, kicking off with The Clone, Terra Speranza and Uga Uga. This marks Globo TV International’s first entrée into the Australian market, and is an extension of its existing agreement with Dream House Entertainment covering the North American market.
In a deal with StarHub, Globo TV International has also sold the broadcast rights to an Indonesian dub of the telenovela The Clone, marking the first time that a channel in Singapore will air programming from the Brazilian distributor. Scheduled to premiere in June, The Clone will air on subscription channel Senasí, which includes programming entirely dedicated to the Indonesians and Malays living in Singapore.
