Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ
Worldwide has increased its presence in Spain by agreeing three
major deals with television broadcasters in the region.
A landmark
agreement has been secured with TVE in Spain to form a major strategic
partnership. The five-year output and pre-sales agreement includes
the broadcasting of Fimbles, a further 120 episodes of Tweenies,
Planet Earth and about 50 hours of blue-chip titles.
Jose-Luis
Roncal, Director of Acquisitions, TVE says, " We are delighted
to be doing business with Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide once again. We have had
great success with Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ natural history programming in the past and
we are looking forward to seeing the new-pre sales package in our
primetime slots."
In
another exclusive deal, Localia - Spain's local television network,
made up of 70 TV stations - has secured a branded slot. The one-hour
scheduled slot will consist of science and biography documentaries
on Saturday night primetime. The Localia channels will be the only
free-to-air channels to broadcast a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Exclusive slot.
FORTA,
the Spanish regional channels network, has agreed a deal with Spanish
film distributor Wanda Films together with Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide, for the
broadcast and distribution rights of Deep Blue, the theatrical version
of The Blue Planet, which was launched at the San Sebastian film
Festival this September.
