BBC and China Central TV to Open Story Development Center
Hong Kong — The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and China Central Television (CCTV) are to set up a center for story development.
The center is part of an agreement between the Chinese state-backed broadcast giant and BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the British pubcaster, that was signed Monday (Nov. 18) at the Sichuan TV Festival in Chengdu, China.
They said that the center will develop documentaries for TV audiences which will focus on the Chinese and Asian markets, but also possibly target global audiences. The deal is expected to last an initial three years.
Also part of the agreement was a commitment to expand their existing co-production and distribution relationships to include more TV landmarks, to explore live event projects, and to even expand their distribution relationship beyond TV.
“This Mou is a significant milestone in the history of BBC Worldwide’s business in China and in our relationship with CCTV.
