Zodiak Expands into Finished Programming

COPENHAGEN, October 6: Zodiak Television World is targeting
the finished programming market, entering into distribution deals with the New
Zealand-based independent Ninox Television and the Scandinavian drama producer
Monster.

Key titles from Ninox that Zodiak will be showcasing in
Cannes next week include the 3×45-minute Coroner’s Inquest and the 17×30-minute Emergency Heroes. From Monster, meanwhile, comes the seven-part
family drama Boys Will Be Boys
and the comedy The Agency.

Zodiak also offers up finished content from its own
Jarowskij production outfit with the 8×1-hour Hombres.

Heather Stevenson, the president of Zodiak Television World,
commented, “With our rock solid global format distribution base, we feel the
timing is perfect, expanding our business proposition into sales and
distribution of strong finished programs. It’ll be a key tool when trying to
achieve our ongoing growth ambitions, and we are really pleased to welcome both
Ninox and Monster, with whom we believe we very fast can become a key
distributor of finished programs.”
