Red Arrow International: Sony’s AXN secures rights to “Falco” for CEE territories
Munich, October 20, 2014. Sony's AXN Central
Europe has bought Pay TV rights to Seasons 1 and 2 of "Falco" for
15 CEE territories including Poland, Hungary and the Czech
Republic. Originally airing on TF1 in France, "Falco" outperformed
the channel average by up to 135%. Produced by Beaubourg
Audiovisuel, "Falco" is based on "The Last Cop", SAT.1's most
successful crime series. The series has also been picked up by
Mediaset in Italy.
Axel Böhm, Senior Vice President Sales, Europe says "With a
proven track record on TF1, 'Falco' is an incredibly successful cop
series which has gone on to captivate more and more territories.
It's exactly the right character-driven action series for AXN and
I'm certain the show will have a great following in the CEE
region."
