OCT 2005 - MIPCOM 2005 REPORT

Presenting our largest and most diverse roster of titles yet, Canamedia enjoyed a productive and successful MIPCOM 2005, meeting with buyers every half hour for the duration of the market. Buyer attendance was up, broadcasters were acquiring new programs with enthusiasm and many deals were set in motion over the course of the 4-day market.

New deals inked since MIPCOM 2005 include:

  • Driving TV – 13 x 30’ lifestyle series sold to Hong Kong
  • Skier’s World – 13 x 30’ sports/travel series sold to Israel
  • Women’s Wellness – 26 x 30’ women’s lifestyle series sold to Israel
  • Don’t Forget Your Passport – 13 x 60’ travel series pre-sold to New Zealand
  • Make Me A Porn Star – docu-reality series - a pre-buy on a new 30-minute “best of” episode sold to Granada in the UK

At the market, Canamedia has inked deals with Ten Francs and Tele-Image for the distribution rights of their catalogue to Canadian broadcasters. Please see our Agency Catalogue for a complete list of programs available.

Canamedia also capitalized on the market to meet with several International Producers and Distributors in order to acquire additional titles for our ever-expanding catalogue. We are also focusing on developing more original series and documentaries in conjunction with our Producers, and look forward to inking many new commissions and pre-buys with broadcasters in 2006. Projects in development include VINTAGE ADVENTURE and PRINCESS TEANA’S DOLL’S TEA PARTY.
