Finland
What are your acquisition strategies?
To find new, fresh, high quality programming suitable for us as public broadcasters
What products are you looking for?
I look for one hour science and history documentaries, both one offs and series, from all over the world. I also need for half hour health/medical and technology series.
What were your key acquisition deals in 2007?
There are so many of them so it's really hard to name any specific ones, but for example "The War" (WGBH), several "Horizon Programmes" (BBC), "Stephen Fry - The Secret Life of a Manic Depressive" (RDF) are titles that I'm proud of.
What are your plans for MIPTV?
To meet as many people as possible, to be very, very updated when I leave Cannes. |
