Why will these programs appeal to buyers?
Last year we saw a considerable increment on the demand for our novelas, this based on the success and name that Caracol has acquire through the years, the high quality of Caracol´s productions and the great ratings results of each product both in the national market and internationally. Our Telenovelas go beyond of the classic romantic drama without leaving that aside, giving them a sense of humor and a more typical lively touch that attracts audiences. The element that seduces the programmers as well as the audience is the love plot and obstacles that generate parallel character stories which keeps them from ending together. However, when referring to a specific key element it could be said that our differential ingredient is the originality of our stories, we are always looking for innovative ideas that usually are inspired in our own daily experiences.

What are your goals and expectations for MIPTV?
Our main goal for MIPTV this year is to maintain the slots that we have conquered with our traditional clients and create new demand, continuing to deliver high quality products to our current and potential customers and solidify even more the international name of Caracol productions. We believe that the same success that our novelas have had in other countries can be achieved in new markets.
