Venevision Heads to MIPTV with Novavision Content

PARIS: Novavision has signed a distribution agreement with Venevision International for Latin American territories, U.S. Spanish-language channels, as well as English- and Portuguese-language channels in Africa.

At MIPTV, Venevision will handle distribution for Novavision’s catalogue for U.S. Spanish-language channels, as well as English- and Portuguese-language channels in Africa. In Latin America, Venevision will distribute the Novavision shows Hilarious Home Video, Bubble Comedy Show and Extreme Sport Bloopers. Venevision will also set up local co-productions for Novavision formats such as The Prize of Surprise and The QuizZz.

“With our ever-growing library, we had reached a point where we needed to reinforce our position in the Latin American market,” said François-Xavier Poirier, the president of Novavision. “Venevision, with whom we’ve always had a very good relationship, was the obvious choice for us. We believe their extensive experience and contacts in the industry will help us in our search for the right partners for the local production of our humorous clip shows.”
