By BRENDAN KELLY

In the first big announcement since ShineReveille and Media Rights Capital formed their joint venture this month, the combo has sold eight series to Canuck broadcaster Rogers Media Television for the 2008-09 season.

The shows are drama series “I.M. Valentine,” “Easy Money” and “F.A.T. City”; animated skeins “The Life and Times of Tim” and “The Goode Family”; and the comedy series “Rita Rocks,” “Outnumbered” and “Krod Mandoon.”

Accord reps the first major deal ShineReveille has inked with a Canuck broadcaster and the first time it has distributed scripted content for Media Rights Capital. Rogers owns the five City-TV stations, Rogers Sportsnet and the Shopping Channel.
