3. PRICES PAID TO LICENSE A SHOW FORMAT IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY

A "format" is not a show but rather intellectual property like a
blueprint that allows a foreign TV show producer to make a show
similar to one that was successful in another country.  Format selling
gained notoriety with "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire", "Survivor" and
"Big Brother".  Inside Edition is one newsmagazine that is has
apparently sold it's format in other markets.  I want to know how much
shows are getting to sell their exclusive format rights in foreign TV
markets.  Again info regarding news/talk/controversy/reality-type
shows like my newsmagazine is of greatest interest.

Parameters:
A. With all the above prices/information I need the source so I can
document it for my business plan.   This could be an article, chart,
grid, etc. but I must be able to find/verify it and the credible
source behind it on my own.

B. I do not want aggregate/general/market information.  I want
specific detailed information such as "TV station KTLA in Los Angeles
licensed the show Inside Edition for $3,000 per episode"  or "MSNBC is
buying the Michael Savage show for $100,000 per episode" or "french
production company C'est La Vie TV paid $200,000 for the exclusive
format rights for one year for the show 60 Minutes".  I'm looking for
actual specific prices not general market conditions.  They should
indicate the show, the buyer, the price and when possible the unit
(episode/series/year).

C. These don't count because they are too general and I already have
them:
-- http://www.worldscreen.com/tvformats.php
-- RealScreen Factual Price Guide
-- World Screen News Program Price Index 
-- http://www.c21media.net/prices_map/pm_home.asp
-- The below article " Rethinking the off-net market"
