NENT, C More, VGTV join Nordisk fund

Scandinavian media giant NENT Group, Nordic digital TV and streaming service C More Entertainment and Norwegian web channel VGTV are the latest partners to join the Nordisk Film & TV Fond.

The three companies will become part of the fund in January next year, taking its financing partners to 22.

NENT Group operates the Viaplay and Viafree streaming services, the Viasat pay TV platforms and channels, free TV and radio networks and a wide range of production companies.

C More Entertainment is a digital TV and streaming service in the Nordic region, part of Bonnier Broadcasting. It is also Bonnier’s third TV operator to join Nordisk Film & TV Fond, after Sweden’s TV4 and MTV Finland.

VGTV is one of Norway’s leading web TV channels and part of Schibsted-owned VG.

Their participation was facilitated by the fund’s new agreement structure for 2020-2024, which allows pan-Nordic SVoD services to enter the exclusive Nordic partnership.

Oslo-based Nordisk Film & TV Fond was established in 1990. The Fund’s primary purpose is to promote film and TV productions of high quality in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, by providing top-up financing for feature films, TV fiction/series and creative documentaries.
