MISTCO to Rep TRT’s Entire Library

ANKARA: MISTCO and Turkish Radio and Television (TRT) have extended their partnership in a deal that will see the distribution company represent the Turkish public broadcaster’s entire library at MIPCOM, including the drama Resurrection.

The agreement covers TRT’s whole library of drama series, kids’ animation, documentaries, miniseries, educational programs and TV movies. In March, MISTCO became the exclusive sales agent for selected dramas, TV movies and miniseries from TRT’s library. Among the 130+ titles on offer from MISTCO at MIPCOM are the dramas Resurrection and Filinta.

Tuncay Yurekli, head of TRT’s TV department, commented, “In the name of TRT, I believe we have gained momentum through successful business in 2016. Despite the rapidly changing agenda all over the world, [both] inside and around Turkey, we managed to keep our position. We have produced really high-quality series and TV movies this year. And also we have very delightful programs for 2017. We have had a fruitful partnership with MISTCO, which began in March 2016 and now we have extended this partnership by including the whole TRT catalog in our deal. With the contribution of this partnership I believe we will keep this momentum in 2017 through our new assertive projects and contents from our library such as Resurrection and Filinta.”

MISTCO’s CEO, Mahmut Ipsirli, said, “We are proud to extend our partnership with the leading Turkish TV network, Turkish Radio and Television Corporation. This new and enriched collaboration will give us the opportunity to present the widest range of Turkish content to the world. With our experienced team and such a diverse catalog, our aim is to strengthen our position in the market.”
