Video Interview with RMC Découverte’s Corentin Glutron

NEW YORK: Corentin Glutron, the head of acquisitions for RMC Découverte, spoke to TV Real's Mansha Daswani about the mix of acquired and original programming on the channel.

The factual channel RMC Découverte debuted in late 2012 and has carved a niche for itself in the French DTT space. Positioned as a male-skewing service, it features such strands as history and investigation, science and technology, tough jobs, real life, and adventure and wildlife. Corentin Glutron, the head of acquisitions for RMC Découverte, buys around 1,200 hours a year. Formats are an important part of his buying remit—past acquisitions have included Top Gear, with RMC Découverte acquiring both the original British and U.S. versions of the show, and then commissioning a French edition.
