A Master Key to All Regions KANAL D IS VERY PROUD OF ITS ROLE IN THE INTERNATIONAL EVOLUTION OF TURKEY’S TV DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS. WITH SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TITLES IN ITS CATALOGUE, INCLUDING PROVEN HITS LIKE ‘FATMAGUL’ AND ‘FORBIDDEN LOVE’, THE COMPANY, PART OF DOGAN MEDIA GROUP, IS PUSHING FORWARD INTO NEW MARKETS.

f you have been a part of Turkish drama’s international explosion, as a buyer or even a viewer, you are more than likely to have crossed paths with one of Kanal D’s titles.

“There are four or ive Turkish titles that opened the doors to diferent markets,” says Kerim Emrah Turna, Head of Sales, Americas at Kanal D. “Globally, ‘Fatmagul’, ‘1001 Nights’, ‘Forbidden Love’, ‘Bidding Farewell’ and ‘Gumus’ are those titles, and the thing that they all have in common is that they are Kanal D titles.”

KERIM EMRAH TURNA,

HEAD OF SALES, AMERICAS - KANAL D

“WE KNOW THE ATTITUDE OF THE AUDIENCE IN DIFFERENT MARKETS AND AS A RESULT OF THIS, WE WORK WITH THE BROADCASTERS ABOUT THEIR NEEDS AND SCHEDULES IN DEEP AND TRY TO FIND THE BEST PLAN FOR THEM.”

Kanal D is one of the leading free-to-air mainstream entertainment channels, operated by DTVH, part of Dogan Media Group, a subsidiary of Dogan Holding, one of the major conglomerate companies in the country. Locally, Kanal D is the channel that airs the most Turkish dramas and entertainment programs during primetime, which fuels its powerful distribution arm, one that has found, or even created, markets all over the world.

“CEE, MENA and Central Asia have always been our core markets,” explains Emrah Turna. “Last year the Americas turned into one of our core markets. We are deepening our relations in Sub Saharan Africa and Far Eastern markets.”

The company is present at Discop Istanbul with a strong focus on licensing its new hits, such as ‘For my Son’, ‘War of the Roses’, ‘Matter of Respect’ and ‘Sunshine Girls’.

“Discop is focused on niche markets in Arabic speaking MENA, Asia and Africa. This

provides distributors like us the possibility of meeting new clients,” says the executive.

‘Sunshine Girls’ (‘Güneşin Kizlari’) is one of the company’s newest dramas, presented at the last Mipcom. The series follows the story of a 35-year old mother with three teenage kids. When she chooses to hide a new love interest, everyone’s lives get turned upside down.

‘For My Son’, meanwhile, premiered on Kanal D in January 2015. The series is on its second season. It’s the story of an undercover cop of sorts –he was actually discharged by the police, but still working for his old boss- that tries to protects his son by investigating the maia.

‘War of the Roses’ has been praised by critics for its original depiction of what is

Matter of Respect Drama

THE EXPERIENCE IN CANNES KANAL D was one of the leading Turkish companies present in the past edition of Mipcom 2015, where Turkey was celebrated as the “Country of Honor”. “It was the reward that the Turkish broadcasters, producers, distributors and all the parties that are working for the media industry in Turkey had gained,” said Emrah Turna. “We, as Kanal D, the admiral ship of Dogan Media Group, are proud to be the pioneer and leading company that has the biggest part in this success.”

10 titles have recently been sold by Kanal D to six countries in Central America.

War of the Roses Drama

in essence the conventional story of the humble girl that works for and falls in love with a rich guy. The show premiered in Turkey in July 2014 and is produced by Med Yapim.

‘Matter or Respect’ is probably the bestknown of the four. With a shorter run, which made it easier to attract international buyers, the show follows the story of two brothers that take very diferent paths in an attempt to avenge their murdered father.

The show is based on an Italian miniseries of the same name, which is distributed by Mediaset.

“We have a pipeline strategy,” airms Emrah Turna. “We know the attitude of the audi-

ence in diferent markets and as a result of this we work with the broadcasters about their needs and schedules in deep and try to ind the best plan for them.”

Proof of this capability to adapt to diferent markets is Kanal D’s rapid success in America, where ‘Fatmagul’ was a huge success and is being followed by titles like ‘Kuzey Guney’, besides the previously mentioned.

“We have recently closed a huge deal for 10 of our titles in six countries in Central America,” the executive says. “In addition to this we have closed important deals in Puerto Rico, Ecuador and Panama for titles such as ‘Kuzey Guney’, ‘For my son’, ‘War of the roses’, ‘Forbidden Love’ and ‘Time goes by’.” ttv

EARLY THIS YEAR a new representation deal was signed between the Audiovisual Producers’ Rights Managing Entity (Egeda) and the Turkish Movie and Television Producers Association (Tesiyap), through which Egeda will manage intellectual property rights for producers of Turkish dramas in Latin America (Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia and Uruguay), the European Union, the US, Canada and Australia. Egeda is a non-proit association that manages a global repertoire of thousands of TV series and ilms.

“WE HAVE CLOSED IMPORTANT DEALS IN PUERTO RICO, ECUADOR AND PANAMA FOR ‘KUZEY GUNEY’, ‘FOR MY SON’, ‘WAR OF THE ROSES’, ‘FORBIDDEN LOVE’ AND ‘TIME GOES BY’.”

“THERE ARE 4 OR 5 TURKISH TITLES THAT OPENED THE DOORS IN DIFFERENT MARKETS (…)

AND WHAT THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON IS THAT THEY ARE KANAL D TITLES.”

K

nown for internationally successful dramas such as ‘Missing’, ‘Black Rose’ or ‘Black Money Love’, ITV Inter Medya has recently dived into a new genre that’s very much in demand in today’s global market: game show formats.

“We started the game show format business a few months ago, back at Mipcom 2015.

Since then, our partners and us have created six game show formats,” Can Okan, CEO of ITV Inter Medya, said to ttv at the last Natpe in Miami. “One of them is already on the air on a small Turkish broadcaster, mainly focused on the Turkish community living in Europe,” he added.

“The show has been very successful on its second season and we are aiming to have it airing on one of Turkey’s bigger broadcasters quite soon, as well as in other territories,” he said.

CAN OKAN,

CEO - ITV INTER MEDYA

Entertaining, exciting and easily adaptable to many cultures and audiences, game show formats can be a source of great success for broadcasters, and ITV Inter Medya is determined to ensure their popularity even more, taking their formats one step further with new technologies and innovative premises.

Presenting a varied ofer of new game show formats, the Turkish company’s catalog combines competition, human emotion, major prizes and innovation, providing something for all types of audiences.

Described as “a new frontier in programming,” the catalog is led by ‘Join Instant’, a new unique online interactive quiz elimination game show, which enables viewers at home to participate while the show is live.

‘Join Instant’ gives anyone with internet access the opportunity to join in the contest and play from their homes. The concept behind the original idea is to break with tradi-

tion and allow audience members to compete without barriers.

ITV Inter Medya is also presenting ‘Answer If You Can!’, a unique TV format based on skills, performance and knowledge. Contestants are asked to answer questions to compete for a US$ 100,000 cash prize, but they must answer in an uncomfortable situation, speciically designed to distract them according to their character, habits, fears and weaknesses. “This is a quiz show with great physical performances,” Okan said.

Third comes ‘Celebrities in the Kitchen’, which shows celebrities like you’ve never seen them before. “Cooking shows are also very popular these days. Here, the title already gives you the idea of what it is,” he explained.

For 13 weeks, celebrities will chop, dice and sauté their way to win. Each week they will Join Instant Game Show Format

ously along with the schedule of the chosen professional league. “’The League’ is a quiz show that can be adapted to any team sport, such as soccer, basketball, football or baseball,” the executive noted.

An original format, described as a “drama-quiz show”, in ‘Fifty Fifty’ 8 people participate in four rounds. In each one, the winning contestant should share half of their money with the other contestants. They may choose them and the amount they wish to give. As contestants form bonds with each other, personal intimacies and polarization begins, turning this into a drama-quiz show. At the end of each round, the contestant with the lowest amount of money loses, while the one with the highest amount wins.

“Our game shows received interest from Latin America, but also European and Asian companies have shown interest in them,” Can Okan said.

“WE STARTED THE GAME SHOW FORMAT BUSINESS A FEW MONTHS AGO. SINCE THEN, OUR PARTNERS AND US HAVE CREATED SIX GAME SHOW FORMATS.”

Already holding this notable catalog of game show formats, ITV Inter Medya is working on an additional four titles to present at Miptv.

“We are working on four new formats which we are planning to launch at Miptv during MIPFormats in April,” he said. “We are very happy with the feedback we’re receiving from our potential buyers,” he concluded. ttv

WINNING OVER THOUSANDS of fans across the world, Turkish telenovelas and drama series exploded over recent years, and ITV Inter Medya was certainly no stranger to this trend. “2015 has been a very interesting year for ITV Inter Medya,” Beatriz Cea Esteruelas, Sales Executive for the company, said to ttv at the last Natpe in Miami. “We opened up new territories, met with new companies with whom we’ve already signed contracts, so it’s been a very positive year,” she added. The executive highlighted three titles as the “most successful” in Latin America in 2015: ‘Black Money Love’, sold in over 15 territories in Latin America, ‘Endless Love’ and ‘In Between’, which were presented at Mipcom and have already been pre-sold in several regions. As for the year ahead, the executive seems quite optimistic about the continuous success of Turkish productions: “In 2016, we hope to sign more deals. We will receive a lot more content and we believe Turkish series will continue to thrive,” she concluded.

THE APPEAL OF EPIC PRODUCTIONS.

TRT and Mipcom 2015 Opening Party Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez

O

nce it was announced back in 2014 that Turkey would be the Country of Honor for the 2015 edition of Mipcom, one couldn’t help but think that it was about time. Lead by the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (ITO, in Turkish), Turkey’s delegation in Cannes was numerous, loud and very proud. Reasons abound.

“Turkish television series exports were worth more than $250 million in 2015, with more than 15 programs being viewed in over 70 countries, particularly in the Middle East, the Balkans, Latin America and Turkish language-speaking countries,” said Beşir Tatlı, head of Calinos Holding, in an interview with Anadolu Agency.

TTV MAGAZINE/17

Only 12 years ago, in 2004, Turkey’s TV export struggled to surpass US$ 10,000 a year, with each episode hovering around 500 dollars. Fast forward to last year, and Turkey’s TV series exports were north of US$ 250 million.

DANCING ON WATER TRT, Turkey’s public broadcaster, played a key role in Cannes, starting by co-hosting the “Mipcom Opening Party – Turkey Country of Honor”. “We organized the celebration for the opening night. We reached the highest participation number so far,” said Meltem Tumturk Akyol, International Programmes Sales Manager at TRT. “We are still receiving positive feedback about our success as event hosts.” The party was mostly held on the street, because the Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez was looded, cancelling the plans for a Red Carpet, among other activities. TRT also sponsored the promotional ilm of Turkey as the Country of Honor and the Snack & Screen at MIPJunior, under the umbrella of kids’ channel TRT Çocuk.

“Turkey produces 70 television series per year. Only 10 to 15 of those have been broadcast on foreign television. We expect that these exports will reach $300 million by the end of 2016,” Tatlı said.

The individual value of each episode has jumped from those US$ 500 in 2004 to almost US$ 200,000 per episode in 2015.

This level of success explains the high spirits that reigned among the 400 TV sector representatives that were present in Cannes under the motto “Turkey: Home of Content”.

“Turkey has achieved over US$ 250 million in revenues from its series and the target for 2023 is to take that number to US$ 1 billion,” said Ibrahim Çağlar, Chairman of the ITO. “With a sharp rise in quality and branding in the sector, Turkey has now exported TV programs and soap operas to more than 80 countries - from the Middle East to Eastern Europe”.

The ITO invited visitors to “discover Turkey’s rich content” in a dedicated space that consisted of a big stand (106.5m²) and an even bigger tent (300m²). Both spaces were used for business meetings and press conferences, among other activities, all under the banner “Turkey Home of Content.”

ITO’s side of the delegation consisted of more than 45 companies. Besides those, there were a number of companies that had their own space in the market, like the wellknown ITV Inter Medya, Calinos Entertainment, Eccho Rights, Kanal D, TRT Sales and ATV Distribution, among others.

Show And Tell Not even the heavy storm that hit the French Riviera just before Mipcom was able to drown the spirits of the Turkish delegates.

Turkey’s key role at Mipcom allowed many companies to make important announcements during the event, like Discovery’s decision to launch TLC channel, but mostly it was a perfect opportunity to get an inside look at what has transformed Turkish series into a global phenomenon.

Although some conferences where cancelled, key executives, writers, directors and stars from the Turkish’s ‘dizi’ were able to participate in the Country of Honor activities.

From the beginning, this drama has been ranked as a leader in ratings. It accomplished this on both the local and international markets.

Great interest in ‘Diriliş’ has led to sales overseas,” she said.

Together with these productions, the company is also presenting ‘Dad Adrift’, the story of a widower and single father searching for the perfect mother for his kids from Mega Chile; and from HBO Latin America, one of several projects titled ‘The Hypnotist’, which follows the steps of a hypnotizer who becomes a great TV star but is faced with his personal demons at every step.

Each and every one of these shows aims to present viewers with quality content, as this is what today’s audiences seek, together with an appropriate platform for its distribution; a testament to the ever changing consumer habits.

ast year was a great one for Telemundo Internacional and now, in 2016, the company is expecting to continue the trend by ofering its partners an exceptional content ofering that will be introduced during the latest edition of Discop.

“The key in this evolution is being able to ind the appropriate platforms for each kind of content. It’s very important to get to know audiences. Times are changing and the demand for high quality content is growing with the evolution of new platforms,” explained Etchinson.

“We’ll be promoting Telemundo’s complete catalogue together with our new projects: ‘Centauro’s Woman’ and ‘Eva’s Destiny’,” mentioned Karina Etchison, Vice President of Sales for the EMEA Region at Telemundo Internacional to ttv.

“It is very important to be lexible and smart when it comes to programming and commercializing a product, never fearing change and always inding creative ways to maximize its use,” she concluded. ttv

‘Eva’s Destiny’ is one of catalog’s highlights and tells the story of a ighter who overcomes everything life throws at her, from betrayal to deceit and downfalls in love.

KARINA ETCHISON,

“There is always going to be an audience for this product and we’re also aware that audiences are much more open to contemporary content now. So we continue to pave the way on territories that are looking for these kinds of productions.”

Eva’s Destiny Telenovela

“It’s a telenovela that captures audiences seeking for a classic story with a strong main character. This kind of traditional storytelling is very popular in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and so is the cast; Edith Gonzalez, Jorge Luis Pila and Arap Bethke have already captivated audiences with previous projects and are an example of the quality of Telemundo’s programming.”

“THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE AN AUDIENCE FOR THIS PRODUCT AND WE’RE ALSO AWARE THAT AUDIENCES ARE MUCH MORE OPEN TO CONTEMPORARY CONTENT NOW.”

“At Discop we will strengthen what we did at Mipcom, presenting new formats and

further promoting other formats that are already successful in the international market,” Ricardo Ehrsam, Head of Global Entertainment Formats at Televisa Internacional, said to ttv.

At the last Mipcom in Cannes, Televisa Internacional’s distribution arm presented entertainment formats such as ‘Mini Me’, ‘TheWacky Old Games’ –chosen among the 24 best formats by TheWit’s Fresh TV Conference in Cannes–, ‘My Online Friends’ and ‘The Ticket’; and is now ready to present new titles in Budapest.

ttv Q&A “The truth is that since Mipcom, the results obtained by the four formats we presented have been very positive. We are starting to close options in diferent countries,” Ehrsam said. “For instance, ‘Mini Me’ has already been commissioned in Mexico this year and there are two more countries in Europe that will commission it for the irst semester of the year,” he added.

Other options are now also being closed in Europe for ‘The Wacky Old Games’. “We are developing and building the irst production hub for ‘The Wacky Old Games’ in Spain,” he said. “Once it’s established -during Q1, 2016- we will start receiving production orders from the diferent clients that have shown interest in it,” he added.

In addition, Televisa Internacional continues to highlight four formats that have been broadcast and opotioned in several countries worldwide, such as ‘Little Giants’, ‘Stand Up For Your Country’ and ‘TheAssemblyGame’, as well as iction sitcom ‘Los González’.

Its format ‘Little Giants’ continue to show positive results in several regions. “The second season was on the air on Telecinco in Spain. We already sold the second season in Poland and will premiere new season in Vietnam, Ukraine and Italy,” he said.

Moreover, ‘Stand Up For Your Country’, which ended its most recent season in Poland with great success, was on the air in Russia, and will premiere its second season on Telecinco in Spain in 2016. “We are closing seasons

with ive countries in Latin America for 2016,” he said. “’Stand Up For Your Country’ and ‘Little Giants’ are the two properties that are already optioned in the English-speaking market in the US,” he added.

“WITH THIS ARRAY OF FORMATS, WE ARE PROVIDING THOSE WHO INVEST IN TELEVISA INTERNACIONAL WITH A CONSTANT FORMAT SUPPLY.”

In addition, the company is signing deals for the quiz show ‘The Assembly Game’ in Mexico, Portugal, Turkey and Asia; and the format ‘Los González’ was broadcast in Italy with great results and has now been commissioned in Mexico along with ‘Recuerda y gana’ (‘Generation Gap’), which will have a second season in the country following the great results registered by the irst one last year.

“With this array of formats, we are providing those who invest in Televisa Internacional with a constant format ofer,” Ehrsam said.

“We can guarantee a constant supply of formats for their lineups, and not just in one speciic genre, but several genres for each timeslot,” he concluded. ttv

ince its inception, RioContentMarket has aimed very high. The event, staged by the Brazilian Association of Independent Television Producers (ABPITV), with assistance from Esmeralda Produções and Fagga/GL event exhibitions, has catapulted the Brazilian TV industry onto the international calendar.

The last edition was named “Brazil’s Best International Event” in 2015 during the prestigious Caio Awards. After attracting more than 14,000 participants during the previ-

ous ive editions, RioContentMarket expects to cement its position in 2016 as a market where business is made.

“RioContentMarket is not a 3-day conference,” says Carla Esmeralda, curator of the event. “[We] want to build this strong idea that this event is business oriented.”

Even a quick glimpse at the agenda of the event, that will be held from March 9th to the 11th at Hotel Windsor Barra in Rio de Janeiro, shows that compromise at its earnest.

RioContentMarket 2016 has put an emphasis on one-on-one meetings between pro-

appointments for players and producers that submitted their projects. When the event starts they will have one-to-one meetings. This is planned networking. To balance this with the global event, we show content in panels, giving priority to what the players need, together with content and narrative exposure. We balance this with great speakers talking about narrative and business models.

The meetings might be the cake for producers looking to make their dreams come true, but the event will ofer plenty of opportunities for networking all around. Besides those, this year’s program will include over 100 presentations, panels on diferent areas of TV, movie and digital media, in addition to the presence of award-winning feature ilm and documentary producers and screenwriters.

the event has welcomed many bigtime digital players (hulu, youtube). what are the main opportunities and challenges they present for the local industry?

One of the highlights is opening keynote speaker, Steve Goliin, the American producer of series such as ‘Mr. Robot’, Golden Globe winner for Best Drama Series in 2016, and ‘The Knick’, in addition to the ilms ‘The Rev-

enant’ and ‘Spotlight’, both Oscar nominees this year.

Golin is also the founder and CEO of Anonymous Content LLC, a production and management company of entertainment industry talents, including writers, directors, actors and comedians.

Another conirmed professional from the industry is Howard Gordon, producer of ‘Homeland’, responsible for the adaptation of ‘Hatuim’, the Israeli series that inspired this American production. Melissa Rosemberg, creator of the Netlix series ‘Jessica Jones’ and Rhys Ernst, co-producer of ‘Transparent’, will be another great attraction.

Peter Iacono, president of International Television and Digital Distribution at Lionsgate will be another keynote speaker during the event. In his keynote speech, Peter will focus on the relevance of content distribution regardless of platforms.

Together with Ernst, other representatives of the main streaming services (Amazon, Netlix and Hulu) will explain how they order content for their platforms.

CARLA ESMERALDA, CURATOR, RIOCONTENTMARKET what were the strongest elements of the 2015 edition that you would like to build on this year?

I want to build this strong idea that this event is business oriented. The presence of Steve Golin (producer of ‘The Knick’ and ‘Mr. Robot’) will help us to assure the importance of having a creative producer making business in a worldwide market. One of the themes that interest us since the irst edition is to understand what makes a narrative so powerful it can cross borders. We had in 2014 Gideon Raf, the creator of ‘Hatuim’ (the Israeli series, basis for ‘Homeland’) and this year we are bringing Howard Gordon, that imported the creation and the creator and created a new work to the American market. He is a wonderful hit maker and it is a pleasure to have him and to inluence Latin creators.

Maybe he can ind something here. one of the challenges of an event is to balance networking and conferences. how do you accomplish that?

strategies and acquiring original content.

YouTube has a prime time at the event since its irst edition and brings the digital market trends every year. you have talked in the past about the challenge that brazil has to reach the international market. how do you see this developing in the next years?

We are proud to say that our market has improved enormously in terms of narrative and business in the last ive years. Now it is time to promote encounters of international market with our local producers. One of our challenges is the Portuguese language.

It is diicult to make productions in Portuguese cross borders. We already have a huge success in animation, but drama is not on the same level. That is why we are putting the foreign heads of content together with local creators, so they can think how to make projects global.

RioContentMarket is not a 3-day conference. In October we select players to come and in November the producers can submit their projects to ive players. During this time, the buyers pick up the projects they want to meet with the producers. We had made

elping Canadian producers thrive in its ever changing marketplace, Canada Media Fund is gearing up for a very busy 2016. With their eyes set on furthering the relationship between Canada and Latin America with successful co-productions, the fund’s president and CEO, Valerie Creighton, talked to ttv about what’s to come. what were canada media fund’s biggest accomplishments during 2015? The Can-

ada Media Fund pursued its eforts to support our producers in the stellar work they are doing. In the last year alone, over 30 Canadian television productions were sold in Latin American markets, with Brazil leading the way. We are pleased that our productions resonate with Latin American audiences and we hope to see continued growth in this sector over the coming years. The CMF has continued to closely monitor industry trends and consumer habits to ensure that its programs and policies are suited to face upcoming challenges and opportunities.

We’re happy to share the results of the re-

search we provide to Canadian and international industry communities through our website and we’re pleased to have a growing number of followers. based on last year’s success, what goals have you set for this year? At this stage, we are developing our programs. We have completed a cross-country consultation with our stakeholders to assess the best options to ensure that our industry continues to lourish in a rapidly changing marketplace.

Canadians are large consumers of content on a variety of platforms. This places Canadian producers at the forefront of dramatic changes taking place in our industry and their input is critical to helping share our strategy moving forward. how important are events like riocontentmarket for your business strategy?

Our participation at international events has allowed us to develop business opportunities for Canadian producers by featuring their work at sessions and showcases.

We have also beneited by events like RioContentMarket to develop mutually beneicial relationships with like-minded funding agencies interested in the growing opportunities coproduction can provide. As consumers have growing access to content from all corners of the world, the production community beneits greatly from working on the international front and sharing expertise, talent and access to markets. what have you been able to accomplish in past events? Coproduction incentives have been developed with SP Cine and RioFIlme (Brazil), Screen Australia, Wallimage (Belgium), the Directorate General Cinema of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Activities and Tourism (Italy) and NZ On Air (New Zealand), all through networking and meetings at international events. what are your expectations for the market this year? The Canada Media Fund is interested in supporting eforts by Canadian producers to develop co-productions with Brazil and other Latin American countries.

We look forward to welcoming international delegates to our Canada stand to meet with Canadian producers and oicials. We will also take-part in a session dedicated to coproducing with Canada to share information and ield questions on how we can work together. cmf has always shown an interest in the latin American region, why is the region important? what makes them good partners for an alliance? Canada has a natural ainity with Latin America. Both our territories strive to compete in a very competitive environment with many productions imported from big content-producing nations.

VALERIE CREIGHTON, PRESIDENT AND CEO - CANADA MEDIA FUND

Yet, both Latin America and Canada succeed in punching above their weight and producing world-class television and digital media content for all to enjoy. what other countries or regions are you interested in working with? The CMF is looking at several options for partnering with other countries. Canada has over 50 coproduction treaties in place that we can leverage to implement dedicated funds for co-development or coproduction. These treaties cover television and feature ilm production, but since digital media has become an important component of our industry since the treaties were signed, we can explore new means of bringing digital media producers closer together with their international counterparts. ttv

igital platform Globo Play was launched on November 3, 2015, with a R$ 12.90 price tag for a subscription that grants access to Globo TV’s programming, a catalog of 86 titles including telenovelas, series, news and entertainment, adding up to 7,300 hours of content.

In an interview with ttv, Erick Brêtas, director of Digital Media at Globo, talks about how the platform was developed, its technological features, its content ofer and how it will be used in the coverage for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. how much was invested to develop globo play? We don’t reveal those numbers. But I can say that creating and developing Globo

Play demanded the creation of a new platform to process and manage videos, creating two lines of development, and broadening the existing lines, in addition to setting up editorial teams in the programming areas. We have over 30 people working directly with Globo Play and almost 100 people working indirectly.

“SIXTEEN DAYS SINCE THE LAUNCH OF GLOBO PLAY, WE REACHED 2 MILLION APP DOWNLOADS.”

how much time did this process take?

We began conceptualizing the project two years ago, in October of 2013. The development itself began in January of 2015.

could you explain what the platform offers? The videos ofered on Globo Play come in three formats: Simulcasting -the programming is shown same as it is on television-, complete and fragmented on VOD. We can say that everything that Globo produces is on Globo Play on VOD. One can access live programming -it is currently available for the central Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo regions-, with no additional cost but the simple subscription fee. Fragments of all the shows can be accessed for free. Complete episodes of telenovelas, series and comedy shows are exclusive to Globo.com subscribers. The rest, including complete newscasts, entertainment shows and realities are also available for free. Lastly, our archive section has 86 titles uploaded from 2010 on.

which live events will be available on globo play in 2016? The most relevant will be the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, for which Globo Play will ofer a network with Olympic programming. This channel will be produced by the team behind our sports platform, Globoesporte.com. considering the recent technological revolution and audiences’ new content consumption habits, what do you think will happen to linear tv in the future? Linear television will continue to be extremely relevant. Television is unbeatable when it comes to sporting events and major journalistic coverages. In Brazil, once the rhythm of consumption is what we deine as “almost live,” the importance of telenovelas also contributes to maintain linear TV’s hierarchy. Most of the successful reality shows, like ‘Big Brother Brazil’ or ‘The Voice Brazil’, are ofered live. The change must come in content like movies, weekly series and kids’ shows. These can be consumed on demand with no sacriices to the consumer experience. It’s important to see how the viewer organizes their mix of content. They will probably organize it in a folder with linear TV, pay TV and VOD services, whether they come from operators or OTTs.

in what regions and through which devices can globo play be accessed? Globo Play can be used anywhere in Brazil. In this irst stage, the simulcasting service -live TV programming- is restricted to Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

which genres and how many hours of content are available? The archive section has 86 titles. Most of the ofer is telenovelas and series, but there are also entertainment shows and newscasts. There are 7,300 hours of content in total. will globo play have exclusive premieres?

It’s a possibility that we’re analyzing. We

“WE LAUNCHED EPISODE ZERO OF ONE OF OUR TELENOVELAS, ‘TOTALMENTE DEMAIS’. IT WAS AN EPISODE PRODUCED SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR DIGITAL PLATFORMS.”

what role does digital media play in globo’s strategy? It’s a pivotal aspect. Our shareholders and our CEO, Carlos Schroder, have made this very clear: Globo is not a TV network; it’s a company that produces and distributes high-quality content for whichever platform it’s used for. have you set a goal in terms of subscribers for globo play? We don’t have a specific goal. Globo Play works under a freemium model, in which part of the formula comes from the subscribers and part of it from the advertising. So it’s important to guarantee the general product’s result, both in audience and formula. Sixteen days since the launch of Globo Play, we reached 2 million app downloads. I can say that result surpassed even the most optimistic expectations. ttv

TTV MAGAZINE/39

one of globo play’s main characteristics is the option to simulcast globo’s live programming and live events. could you comment on this? We believe live programming on mobile devices can be a very attractive feature for the audience that’s stuck in traic or wants to watch the news during their lunch breaks, just to mention two very common examples. In this sense, one of the biggest technological challenges was to guarantee audiences had access to the TV network for the speciic region they were located in. This is done through the devices’ GPS system and through the Geo-IP technology on their browsers, which guarantees the presence of local content and values our model of ailiated broadcasters across Brazil.

“GLOBO PLAY WORKS UNDER A FREEMIUM MODEL, IN WHICH PART OF THE FORMULA COMES FROM THE SUBSCRIBERS AND PART OF IT FROM THE ADVERTISING.”

“THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR US IN 2015 WERE THE TWO SEASONS OF ‘RISING STAR’ AIRING IN ARGENTINA AS ‘ELEGIDOS’, AND THE LAUNCH OF ‘BOOM!’ IN CHILE AND ARGENTINA.”

eady to launch a raft of new shows this year in its catalog and for the international market, led by a highly-anticipated co-developed format in the works with Telefe; Keshet International is starting another very successful year. Now, present in Brazil for the 2016 RioContentMarket, the company will soft launch a few shows which it will be launching at Miptv in April. “Buyers in Latin America will be some of the irst to see what Keshet is going to have for the irst half of this year in terms of new material,” said Kelly Wright, Sales Director for Latin America, Asia, Australia/NZ, who spoke to ttv about the company’s new launches and projects for 2016. how was 2015 in terms of business for keshet international? We had a great year, we grew a lot. It was a successful and fantastic year, so we are very pleased. The highlights for us were deinitely the two seasons of ‘Rising Star’ airing in Argentina as ‘Elegidos’, and we launched ‘Boom!’ in Chile and Argentina, which is now travelling North throughout South America and even North America. We signed a deal with Azteca in Mexico for the format, as we announced in Natpe. In addition, we signed a huge deal with Televisa for our scripted shows, which will go into production for them over the next couple of years. This was a very strategic deal which brings us into the US Hispanic market through Univision, so strategically this was very important for us. This comes in addition to ‘Prisoners of War’, which is already in development with Televisa as well.

what role does latin America play in your distribution strategy? Latin America is an essential piece of our strategy. We don’t see it in any kind of lesser light we see Europe or Asia.

For us, Latin America, Europe and Asia are the three mega regions. Obviously content now is much more fractionalized, so people in Europe are looking towards other European content and maybe less onto international brands. And Asians and Latin Americans are also doing that. So buyers from Chile are looking at Argentina, from Mexico are looking at Colombia, and so on. Our goal this year Boom!

Format

ttv / RIOCONTENTMARKET 2016 / Q&A

is to create more regional content, more Latin American content. That means we will be entering into more co-developing agreements, that we are going to be partnering with local independent producers and broadcasters to pilot new shows and co-develop new original ideas, and bring them to the Latin American and international markets.

42/TTV MAGAZINE

what are your expectations for 2016? could you share any upcoming projects?

We are launching a lot of new shows this year in our catalog and for the international market. We are also hoping to launch a co-developed format that we are working on with Telefe, which we will announce soon. It’s very much a hybrid of Keshet’s innovation and technology expertise, so it has a very strong digital element, there is a very natural integrated interactive element in the show.

From the South American side, we have a lot of Latin lavor, so it’s very romantic, there is a lot of story, drama, reality elements there too, which combine to make a really unique product, which was the goal. The goal is to really create the perfect alchemy of Israeli innovation and the Latin American lavor and culture. I think we’ve come upon a really successful version of that, which we will launch this year as well. We are very excited about that.

resonates more with the younger audience.

We are very excited that they chose our catalog, from which they will select the most relevant content and adapt it to their viewers.

The irst show that we’re working on is called ‘Loaded’, the Hispanic name is ‘Realidad Aumentada’, and it is very much for a male audience. It’s young, dark humor, funny, about the business world, about high-tech, about friendship and becoming multimillionaires overnight. It’s just a very cool theme right now for Mexico and the way it is viewing content, which is veering more strongly towards OTT and away from linear television. in terms of formats, ‘Rising Star’ and ‘boom!’ continue to ind new broadcasters and partners around the world. what are your plans for these titles? We continue to grow ‘Rising Star’ and ‘Boom!’. We announced the irst deal for ‘Boom!’ in January and will soon be announcing another deal in a different territory. Hopefully in March after the summer we will announce some more deals.

Unfortunately, it has a lot to do with the economic and political situations happening in the region, which are afecting programming decisions and acquisitions. But ‘Rising Star’ has really proven itself and it allows the channel to grow its potential. Right now channels are competing with the rise of Netlix, and everyone from Amazon to HBO are developing original scripted content now. And what ‘Rising Star’ allows broadcasters to do is to access those viewers who are turning away from traditional television by making live-event TV, which requires your full attention throughout the episode. We are really excited to launch this show in several major territories in the region. We will soon be announcing new deals for ‘Rising Star’.

“IN ADDITION, WE SIGNED A HUGE DEAL WITH TELEVISA FOR OUR SCRIPTED SHOWS, WHICH WILL GO INTO PRODUCTION FOR THEM OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.” “WE ARE GOING TO BE PARTNERING WITH LOCAL INDEPENDENT PRODUCERS AND BROADCASTERS TO PILOT NEW SHOWS AND CO-DEVELOP NEW ORIGINAL IDEAS, AND BRING THEM TO THE LATIN AMERICAN AND INTERNATIONAL MARKETS.”

what can you tell us about the deal with televisa in mexico? We are already lunching production for the irst title this month, so we are moving at a very fast rhythm.

Anybody who knows Televisa and how they work sees that this is really accelerated in terms of the pace for them. I think that it shows how dedicated they are to doing this deal and bringing a new kind of content to viewers in Mexico. Everybody knows Televisa is the king of telenovelas in the region.

Everyone around the world is watching telenovelas by Televisa. So what they’re aiming to do with this 13-episode series is to create a diferent kind of viewing pattern which

which titles will you be presenting at riocontentmarket 2016 and what are your hopes and expectations for the event? We are expecting to be able to announce some of these deals. Keshet is attending oicially

for the irst time. We are going to have our CEO, Alon Shtruzman, doing a keynote. We are going to have Sebastian Burkhardt, our Head of Business Development and Acquisitions there, on a panel and to look at acquisition opportunities. Because we don’t only export into Latin America, we also want to export out of Latin America into other territories in terms of the great scripted content and entertainment shows airing there. And also, Karina Dolgiej and I will be there to push sales in our business there in terms of formats and entertainment. We are looking at this as a great opportunity to soft launch a few shows which we will be launching at Miptv in April. So those buyers in Latin America will be some of the irst to see what Keshet is going to have for the irst half of this year in terms of new material. ttv

ACCORDING TO ROXI – THE TV SERIES (Sitcom - 27 x 24’) Roxi is above all a mom. A politically incorrect mom. An anti-heroin who divides the world between allies (the woman who works at her home, the Chinese of the neighbor supermarket) and enemies (teachers from school, pediatricians, kindergarten moms and the rest of the world) on a mission to emerge unharmed from the lovely devastating experience of motherhood. Roxi is a working mother and therefore a friend with no time, a wife without a ring and an overwhelmed woman. She is neurotic, self-centered, funny, demanding and judgmental. She faces maternity with the less attractive weapons in the market: honesty, low tolerance to child- maternal world, paranoia and the utopia of reaching happiness when her 3 year old child gets all existing viruses and she tries not to be absent at work. She used to be a strong determined woman, brave and adventurous, but since she is a mother she became a vulnerable complicated and insecure human being.
