Common Issues and Challenges
In a competitive international television market place finding the best route to a commission can be a difficult and complicated process. With networks working with reduced budgets, the exploitation of rights and brands becomes an important element of television production
How to deficit fund television productions and pilot new formats without giving up all or the majority of Intellectual Property rights and sales income is now a complex business process
Also as important is the rights management of of the programme content,ensuring viable talent, contributor, third party rights management and contractual process for the best deal terms
Valuing ancillary rights, making sure distributors and sales agents make best offers for programming rights or representation is core to the Television sales business – owning rights is pointless if you don’t know the value.
