C21 presents Schedule Watch report at Mip

MIPTV: C21 presented the inaugural Schedule Watch Content Opportunities Report at MipTV in Cannes this morning, highlighting some of the trends in the business and the opportunities they create.

Based on C21’s premium Schedule Watch strand, which analyses global schedules and programming trends worldwide, the Schedule Watch Content Opportunities Report explores the programming requirements of the top channels in leading markets worldwide.

Identifying trends is one thing; the aim of this report, however, is to tease out the content opportunities that those trends offer producers and distributors in the business of developing, pitching and distributing the programming that the market needs.

This 35-page report is cross-genre and is designed to provide a road map to effective content development, coproduction and sales in the international market. It highlights 10 trends uncovered after interviews with leading buyers and commissioners from around the world, as well as a selection of international buyer profiles: Atresmedia of Spain, Chilean network Mega, Norway’s public broadcaster NRK, TF1 of France and Japanese channel Wowow.

The report was written and compiled by C21 research editor Gün Akyuz and her team of reporters around the world, and the 30-minute presentation of its findings took place at MipTV today, presented by C21’s editorial director Ed Waller.
