2 This is a unique opportunity For the first time, executives from RTL Group s subsidiaries and from several production companies met up at M6 s headquarter in Paris for a day in early March to discuss new ideas, formats and concepts. Backstage spoke to Thomas Valentin, General Director Networks & Content at M6. France - 3 April 2008 The RTL Group Pitch & Meet provides a unique forum for exchanges of fresh format concepts between the creative directors of Europe s leading production companies and programming directors in RTL Group s European network. It was the first time that RTL Group had invited around 40 of its senior executives to an exclusive meeting. Representatives from seven leading European production companies also joined the meeting for a day of ideas, discussion and direct feedback. The production companies that took part were All3Media, BBC Worldwide Productions, Endemol, FremantleMedia, ITV Productions, RDF Media Group and Shine Group. Jane Millichip, RDF Rights Chief Operating Officer commented: We were flattered to be invited to the RTL Pitch & Meet. RDF Rights has worked extensively over the years with RTL Group companies, increasingly in the area of formats, and we have strong relationships with your channel buyers. However, the Pitch & Meet added an extra dimension for us in that our heads of development from our production arm were able to meet and pitch to the RTL channel controllers and directors of programmes. We are pleased to say that since the event we have continued to hold fruitful conversations with a number of the RTL channels about a number of our new formats. It is a very exciting prospect to think that we could have one of our ideas produced and broadcast in mainland Europe before we have gone to air in the UK. To ensure a successful meeting for all participants, the day s proceedings were broken down into two parts. During the daytime pitching session, the audience consisted of RTL Group content executives. The focus was on presenting formats that appeal to various markets, taking advantage of the Pitch & Meet s international profile. Each production company was allotted an exclusive 45-minute slot, including around 20 to 30 minutes to pitch their ideas, followed by a Q&A session. For the second part of the event, which took place in the evening, RTL Group invited all the participants to a special get-together in the heart of Paris, where in a relaxed atmosphere, creative executives from production companies and RTL Group's channels could discuss ideas and projects on a one-toone basis. Claire Davenport, RTL Group s Executive Vice President Corporate Strategy and Business Synergies, said: The advantage of having seen all of these formats while together was that everyone not only got a good overview of what is currently being marketed but could immediately discuss the ideas with other experts in the group. I think Jane Milichip, COO of RDF Rights Claire Davenport, EVP Corporate Strategy & Business Synergies 2

3 people found this very helpful and it has already led to some discussions of multi-territory purchases. To provide a closer look on the event Backstage spoke to Thomas Valentin, General Director Networks & Content at M6, who chaired the meeting in Paris. What s the idea behind RTL Group's Pitch & Meet? We're convinced that the relationship between broadcasters and production companies is the key to the success of our businesses. As a result, for some time now we ve been exploring the idea of bringing programme executives from RTL Group s various channels together with some of Europe s top programme makers. We view Pitch & Meet as a unique opportunity for both sides to discuss new concepts and formats and share some of our experiences from across Europe. In addition, Pitch & Meet also gives us a chance to enhance our relationships with producers, beyond just dealing with day-today business. Last, but not least, it gives us the prospect of discovering new formats before our main competitors. Have you already received any feedback from the participants on RTL Group s side? The feedback from RTL Group s executives was extremely positive. They really enjoyed discovering new formats and relished being given a chance to discuss ideas with the production companies executives themselves. A linked event that also went down very well was the holding of a Syco, or Synergy Committee meeting, between RTL Group s programming directorsthe following day, which was used for debriefing purposes and discussing the various formats that had been pitched. This was deemed a really useful follow-up event. Thomas Valentin How about feedback from the production companies representatives? They were really happy to get a chance to talk to 10 countries, i.e. 10 potential clients, simultaneously. The feedback they received from RTL executives after each pitch was really useful and informative, though they also said they thought it was slightly too short. So we will try to improve the Meet part of the event next time, allowing more time for exchanges with the production companies after each pitch. Do you see any particular trend in programmes at the moment? The way I see it, there are currently five main trends: Big entertainment shows Loud, funny and often shot on location, these shows put courageous contestants through their physical paces and confront them with spectacular challenges (e.g. American Gladiators) First-person documentaries These are documentaries narrated and presented by a celebrity keen on exploring a current social issue (beauty, food, war, prison). This involves highly subjective journalism. (Louis Theroux Behind Bars, Ross Kemp in Afghanistan, The Truth about Size Zero.) 3

4 Natural beauty A distant cousin of the old, familiar fairytale makeover shows, these down-to-earth coaching shows teach viewers how to boost their self-esteem and stop chasing unrealistic expectations about their looks without resorting to Botox or dressing up like a princess. (How to Look Good Naked, Dawn Gets Naked) Rough men docusoaps Rather than filming celebrity-chasing starlets or contests in controlled environments, these documentary series depict the rough and genuinely dangerous daily lives of ordinary workers doing extraordinary jobs, e.g. deepsea fishermen or loggers. (Deadliest Catch, Ax Men, Ice Road Truckers) No-knowledge-required quiz shows Based either on common sense, pure luck or sheer guts, these quiz shows do not require extensive general knowledge on the part of their participants.. Luck-based: Deal or No Deal and its many imitators. Personality based: Amnesia, Moment of Truth. Common sense: Power of 10, Rich List It is also worth noting that everybody s on the lookout for the first big eco-show, for although climate change and the environment are big issues in today s popular culture, no environmentally themed show has yet managed to consistently generate high TV ratings. Would you qualify the first Pitch & Meet a success? Indeed I would. It was a great success to get 40 of RTL Group s senior executives from 10 countries together with top creative people and executives from Europe s seven leading European production companies. Moreover, the following-up between RTL Group s executives after the meeting was highly productive and extremely worthwhile in terms of potential future deals. Do you intend to organize Pitch & Meet on a yearly basis? Yes, we plan to make Pitch & Meet an annual event, held a few weeks before the MIP TV television fair. Next year, we would like to see the top production companies joined by smaller, local, but dynamic production companies. The aim of this kind of event is to make sure that the experience of being a programming executive at an RTL Group channel is more rewarding than it would be at a stand-alone channel. In other words, we want to drive home the fact that sharing knowledge and experience among programme makers from different countries enriches the creative efforts of all those involved. Thomas Valentin is Vice-Chairman of the M6 Executive Board in charge of Networks and Content, having been appointed to that post in February Previously he had been M6 s Director of Programmes since March 1992, and the group's Vice-Chairman since May Since joining the Groupe M6 in its very early days, he has held numerous posts within the company, including: Director of Fiction Programmes and International Relations until November 1989; Director of Fiction and Documentary Departments and Chief of International Relations up to December 1990; Deputy Director of Programmes and Director of Acquisitions and Production in 1991: Director of Programmes in 1992; and Chairman of M6 Films in

5 Leona Lewis Leona Lewis conquers the USA... and the worldwide charts Leona Lewis is already an established big-name singer in over 28 countries around the world and a shining star in the music business. She rose to prominence in December 2006 as the winner of the third season of The X-Factor in the UK. United Kingdom - 1 April 2008 Now she s managed to achieve what only few British artists before have succeeded in doing. Her single Bleeding Love, which topped the British hit parade at the end of 2007, has now also made it to number one in the Billboard Hot 100 Charts in the USA. To do that, last Thursday the song distributed by Simon Cowell s Label Syco Music, a joint venture with Sony BMG, leapt all the way from number eight to claim the top slot. J Records, Lewis US label, accompanied the US release of the single with an aggressive promotional campaign. Accordingly, two weeks ago Leona Lewis was a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and last week Jay Leno invited her onto his Tonight Show. No doubt these highly regarded performances helped to catapult Leona Lewis to the very top of the Billboard Hot 100 Charts. Having said that, a full two weeks before appearing on TV Leona Lewis had topped the itunes charts in the USA for two weeks in succession. Leona Lewis is only the second UK import in the last 10 years to have managed the leap to the top of the hotly contested US singles charts. The last British Sony-BMG artist to have topped the Billboard Hot 100 Charts was George Michael in This week Bleeding Love is not only number one in the US charts, but also in Belgium, France, Switzerland and the Euro charts. In Germany and Austria Leona Lewis s hit has made it to number two, in Australia and Great Britain number three. Bleeding Love is at number four in Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands. So it s a truly international success story. Leona Lewis meteoric rise to stardom hasn t come totally out of the blue. The singer, born in Islington, London, in 1985, owes her almost fairytale start in the music business to a TV format that itself is constantly breaking records, namely The X-Factor. On 16 December 2006 Leona Lewis won the final of the third season of the exceptional talent show produced by FremantleMedia subsidiary Talkback Thames and Simon Cowell s production company Syco TV. The final was watched by around 12.6 million viewers and 8 million votes were cast, most of them in favour of the young singer-songwriter Leona Lewis. Shortly afterwards, she had the Christmas hit of 2006 in Great Britain with A Moment Like This. In early December 2007 the 22-year-old artist then released her debut album, Spirit, in Europe. 375,872 copies were sold in a week. Bleeding Love, one of the tracks on that album, became the bestselling single of 2007 and stayed at the top of the charts for no fewer than seven weeks. The release of Leona Lewis album by J/Syco Records on 8 April in the USA as well is once again something very special. Never before has the debut album of the winner of a TV talent show been rolled out internationally in this way. 5

6 Tanja Szewczenko plays Diana Sommer Diana inspires dreams in France Monday, 31 March saw the launch of the first episodes of a brand new series entitled Le Rêve de Diana (Diana s Dream) by M6 and Téva in France. France - 28 March 2008 The plot revolves around 23-year-old Diana Sommer (Tanja Szewczenko), who spends her days delivering mail on her rollerskates but who has always dreamed of becoming a figure-skater. One day, she bumps into Julian, marketing director for Steinkamp, a company which sponsors ice-skaters; Julian is looking for a face for his new advertising campaign and Diana s dream begins to become a reality. Diana is played by Tanja Szewczenko, a figureskater well known in Germany and bronze medallist at the 1994 World Figure Skating Championships. In 2000, Tanja Szewczenko retired from competitive skating to pursue modelling and acting. As it turned out, it was only a brief pause since Tanja is now donning her skates once more, this time in a new drama. When asked in an interview whether she identified with her character, Diana, Tanja Szewczenko replies: Like her, when I was little I was passionate about ice-skating and was ambitious and a perfectionist. I share Diana s philosophy: what s important isn t where you come from but what you can achieve. I drew heavily on my professional experience in preparing for this role. Le rêve de Diana has proved a resounding success in Germany where it airs under the original title Alles was zählt (All That Counts) with 440 episodes filmed to date. The series is produced by Grundy UFA TV Produktion and is broadcast on RTL Television at 19.00; it regularly attracts an average audience share of 17.3 per cent in the target group. The statistics are certainly impressive: one 25-minute episode is filmed each day and involves some 120 people; all episodes are filmed in a 2,000-m² studio and two ice rinks are regularly commandeered for filming. M6 and Téva joined forces for the launch of Le rêve de Diana on Monday, 31 March. The first two episodes were shown on both channels simultaneously at followed by episodes three and four at on Téva only. The single La vie n est plus qu un jeu (Life is just a game) performed by Julianne Deville and the theme tune to the series will be released on 28 April 2008 through M6 Interactions.

7 Top sports bidder Ofcom, the independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries, confirmed on Friday, 28 March, that Five has been given listed event status, the same as BBC1, BBC2, ITV1 and Channel 4. United Kingdom - 31 March 2008 This means that Five is now in the category of free television channels which must be given a genuine opportunity to bid for the right to broadcast listed sports events live rights in the case of Group A events (e.g. Olympics, FIFA World Cup, European Football Championship, Wimbledon) or highlights in the case of Group B events (e.g. Cricket Test Matches, Six Nations Rugby, Commonwealth Games). Ofcom has concluded that Five meets all qualifying conditions to be given listed event status. Namely these conditions are that the service is provided without any consideration being required for the reception of the service and that the service is received by at least 95 percent of the UK population. The Broadcasters Audience Research Board (BARB) Data for January 2008 showed that Five is now received by 96 percent of the UK population. Educational general-knowledge magazine for children Super RTL s new general-knowledge magazine Dragonfly TV Dem Wissen auf der Spur (Dragonfly TV Tracking down the truth) is getting right to the heart of the matter when it comes to fascinating questions about science and research. Germany - 31 March 2008 In Dragonfly TV Dem Wissen auf der Spur, children get to investigate scientific facts from the mundane to the completely ludicrous and unearth the secrets behind them. The new magazine follows in the tradition of Super RTL s highly successful WOW Die Entdeckerzone (Backyard Science) which achieved an impressive market share in excess of 50 per cent among children aged between 3 and 13. Director of programmes Carsten Göttel is convinced that Dragonfly TV Dem Wissen auf der Spur will be a hit: Children enjoy finding out about the world they live in. It s fun for them to pretend to be mini-explorers or mad scientists and if they are learning about science at the same time, then so much the better. In their quest for answers, children will be investigating various topics and getting involved in all sorts of unusual experiments. In attendance will be Super RTL presenters Pia Ampaw and Beni Weber (Disneys Art Attack). Dragonfly TV Dem Wissen auf der Spur will be broadcast in Germany at every Saturday evening, with the first of 52 episodes airing on Saturday, 3 May. 7

The daily French news magazine 100% Mag, presented by Estelle Denis, drew an average audience of 1.5 million in March, peaking at a record 2.2 million on Monday, 24 March.

In March 2008, M6 s ratings over the day as a whole were slightly up on the previous month, at 10.9 per cent in March, compared with 10.7 per cent in February. 8

10 Natasha Kaplinsky Five is growing larger The British RTL Group channel Five has recently had seven consecutive weeks of year-on-year audience share growth for the first time since United Kingdom - 2 April 2008 With the introduction of Neighbours earlier this year and a revamp of its News, Five has already made headlines this year.

In terms of the audience group Individuals, Five has achieved an average audience share of 5.6 per cent per week over the past seven weeks, which is a 3 per cent rise on the same period last year. Apart from the introduction of Neighbours which increased Five s ratings more than proportional, this is thanks to great across-the-board performances from programmes as diverse as UEFA Cup football, Ice Road Truckers, Breaking into Tesco, I Own Britain s Best Home, NCIS and needless to say, the relaunched evening News. The News which is anchored by Natasha Kaplinsky since mid of February has increased its share by 50 per cent compared to last year. But it is not just the main channel that is performing well. The digital channel Five Life, which is going to be renamed as Fiver, recorded another best-ever weekly share of 0.65 per cent (Individuals) in multi-channel homes just last week. Neighbours 10
