SevenOne International expands to Hongkong
Munich, March 1, 2012. SevenOne International,
the worldwide distribution company of ProSiebenSat.1 Group, will
open a branch office in Hongkong. The company, which has already
sold numerous TV formats to Asia in the past, will expand its
activities there with the new Hongkong office, which will also help
manage the business with Australia. English-speaking markets are
becoming increasingly important for SevenOne International, as the
distribution company's portfolio includes more and more
English-language fiction programs.
Jens Richter, CEO of SevenOne International: "Already today,
more than 50 percent of all the world's TV households are located
in Asia. This market offers tremendous long-term growth potential
for us as a distribution company."
SevenOne International has already successfully placed several
formats in Asian TV markets. The TV station Jiang Su Satellite has
aired 52 episodes of the SAT.1 show "Mein Mann kann," which was the
most successful foreign format adaptation in Chinese television in
2010. In 2011, the free-TV channel Shanghai Docu TV secured the
rights to ProSieben's knowledge magazine "Galileo." In 2005,
SAT.1's science show "Clever" was actually broadcast in its
original version with Barbara Eligmann and Wigald Boning. And
China's biggest TV channel, CCTV, broadcast all seasons of the
German experimentation show with (Mandarin) Chinese subtitles.
