ITVS GE Renews Long-Term Deal with Japan’s Intervision

LONDON: ITV Studios Global Entertainment (ITVS GE) has re-upped its agency deal with Japan's Intervision for the 50th year.

Intervision has been representing ITVS GE’s portfolio to major Japanese broadcasters since 1965. Most recently, Intervision brokered a deal for satellite channel Imagica to air ITV Collection, a new ITV-branded programming block.

Augustus Dulgaro, the executive VP of sales for the Asia Pacific at ITVS GE, said: “The renewal of our deal with Intervision for the 50th year is a significant achievement. Intervision has a deep understanding of our brand and, as illustrated by our recent deal with Imagica for the ITV Collection programming block, finds the perfect outlets for our programming in Japan.”
 
Takio Okomoto, the president of Intervision, added: “As we begin our 50th year of working together, I am deeply grateful for the continuous efforts and understanding of ITVS GE that enabled us to carry out our duties as an agent. I would also like to express my gratitude for the cooperation of all the broadcasters and other media business partners we’ve worked with, as well as thanking the Intervision team. Looking back over the past 50 years, I recall many of ITVS GE’s flagship, blue-chip programs which we have been proud to represent and I personally have been very lucky to be involved with the distribution of these titles.”
