New Hire for DR International Sales

COPENHAGEN, May 27: Nordic
distributor DR International Sales has named Kim Christiansen, previously with TV2
Denmark, as its co-production manager.

In his new role,
Christiansen will be in charge of selling co-productions abroad and uniting
producers and broadcasters around the world.

DR has been looking to
work more extensively with external partners in terms of co-production. With
the new hire, the company hopes that the sales department will be able to put
further emphasis on the financing and production area. DR notes that it is
already involved in several large international co-productions.

For the past year and a
half, Christiansen served as the head of sales for TV2 World, TV2 Denmark’s
international program and format sales department. Prior to that, he was in
charge of buying factual and documentary programs, and he also worked with
co-productions at TV2.
