MUMBAI:
FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME), the commercial and brand
extension arm of television format creator and distributor
FremantleMedia, has become a launch supplier to HBO Nordic,
the pan-regional channel launched last week in Stockholm,
inking a deal that will see some of FME titles in drama, comedy
and factual finding audiences across Scandinavia.
Sales
include drama 'Hit and Miss', comedy 'Web Therapy' and two
factual titles from Morgan Spurlock. In 'A Day in the Life'
Spurlock uses his trademark wit and humour to give an insight
into 16 very different lives including Sir Richard Branson
and Will.I.Am; 'New Brittania' takes a comedy sideswipe at
the behaviours and institutions which make Britain so…British.
FME
senior VP sales for UK, Eire and Scandinavia Justin Hatfield
said, "The new HBO channel is a great addition to the
Nordic media landscape and our shows will have great appeal
to audiences in the region. From the darkly compelling Hit
and Miss to the distinct comedy of Lisa Kudrow, and Morgan
Spurlock’s unique approach to factual storytelling, we’re
looking forward to seeing the success of these titles on HBO
Nordic."
The FME catalogue spans thousands of hours of drama, comedy,
factual and kids and family titles available to broadcasters
around the world.
