TV and online video execs unlock mysteries of China’s TV market
MUMBAI: Nobody knows TV content in China like Hunan Broadcasting Station VP and Mango Media executive director Molly Mei Nie. Unless it’s Anke Redl – China Media Management (CMM-I) managing director and partner. Both are featured as top speakers at ‘China and the World’ convention in Shanghai that is scheduled to take place on 10 June, 2015 at Swissotel.
It’s often said China will be the second largest TV market on the planet by 2016 but what is less known is how much China will change the global landscape of TV and online video. The convention will present ‘In Conversation with Molly Mei Nie’ for answers.
In ‘China Going Global – Opportunities and Challenges,’ Redl will join Glocal Media founder and CEO Dennis Young and AMC Global and Sundance Channel Global president Bruce Tuchman. Young is an expert at exporting Chinese and Asian content to the US and around the world, whereas Tuchman is a specialist on the global footprint for content.
What are China’s ambitions? And what are the best opportunities? What about the regulatory front? Are you where you should be? Answering these questions will be CCTV Copyright Management Dept deputy director and Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union copyright committee chairman Yan Bo.
China and the World, organised by Lightning International and CASBAA, promises to offer a unique perspective on great TV.
