Acquisition Strategies

What are your acquisition strategies at the beginning of 2010?

We would like to keep doing big primetime shows as we think this is our main strength, but at the same time, we are looking forward to developing new content for scripted format (comedy, romance etc.). Of course, we hope to find new ideas and new concepts traveling around the International TV Markets, although we think that the key element of our production company is based on the pure entertainment genre with humor and fantasy.

What products are you looking for?

We are primarily interested in non-scripted formats that fit for the free television, but we are also approaching other genres such as factual entertainment, reality, dating shows, comedy shows and lifestyle for the digital and satellite Italian Networks. As well, we would like to find new ideas for an original daytime.

What rights are you looking for?

We are also looking for finding rights for scripted format. This is a new genre that we would like to produce and we hope to find new products to localize for the Italian Market. Of course, we would like to find long-running series for both the daytime and prime time.
