Global Screen Adds rbb media Content to Catalogue

MUNICH: Global Screen is on board to distribute a selection of rbb media programming around the world in non-German-speaking territories.

Among the titles under the agreement are The Con Squad (Hauptstadtrevier), from the police comedy format CrimeTime (Heiter bis tödlich), and Scene of the Crime, which stars Dominic Raacke and Boris Aljinovic as homicide detectives. The deal also includes a slew of documentaries.

"Global Screen is a major player with a worldwide distribution network, excellent knowledge of the market and the right know-how to be able to sell our programs worldwide," noted Klaus Wilhelm Baumeister, the CEO of rbb media.

Rolf Moser, managing director of Global Screen, said the agreement "makes perfect sense and is the logical next step," proving that "the joint venture Global Screen is becoming more and more of a factor as distributor of ARD programming around the globe."

Thomas Weymar, managing director of Global Screen, added: "We're proud to grow our portfolio with major fictional and non-fictional programming from rbb, and look forward to representing them successfully internationally."
