In China, the Asia Entertainment Group will have access to all
the segments in the show. It will use the material to produce a
daily magazine show First Touch with Movie & TV. This is
a co-production venture with the Shanghai Media Group and the China
Film Group.
IBC president Jon Helmrich was quoted in a company release saying,
"China is an important market for us and we look to conclude similar
programming agreements with our other broadcast partners in this
region of the world. As the market continues to mature, there's
more of a demand for Western style programming. We have the ideal
catalogue to meet this growing demand."
Helmrich adds that Australia's Foxtel and New Zealand's Sky TV
recently renewed agreements to air the show in their markets. Cinenews
features interviews with the biggest stars in front of and behind
the camera. The series also explores the past, present and future
of film with Hollywood's top executives and behind-the-scenes experts.
IBC focusses on global programming distribution and channel development.
It represents Entertainment News Service (ENS), The Tennis Channel,
Chum Television International, KCW Productions and other companies.
