DISCOP Istanbul/Pre-MIPTV Spotlight: TVE

ISTANBUL: TVE is heading to DISCOP Istanbul with plans to focus on its channel sales and program-distribution businesses.

Program highlights include Isabel, which focuses on the life of Spain’s Queen Isabella the Catholic. “Isabella and Ferdinand begin their reign, but they have to overcome a series of difficulties and embark on a war,” says Fernando Hernández Berzal, the company’s international sales executive. The historical series has been successful in more than 20 countries around the globe.

TVE is also showcasing Together, a public-service format that “encourages solidarity within society,” according to Hernández Berzal. Then there is Mom Detective, which follows the life of Laura Llebrel, who uses “her weapons, intuition and instinct to help her dismantle the most perfect alibi.”
