In recent years, with the growing importance of TV broadcasting via satellite, cable, and the Internet, and now with the advent of terrestrial digital broadcasts, we are seeing an unprecedented expansionary phase in the television market. Accordingly, there is a growing demand for broadcasting content. In step with these new developments, the broadcasting rights sales business is also undergoing a transformation. Consequently, Broadmedia Studios is in the process of making its own dramatic changes.
Broadmedia Studios acquires broadcasting rights to movies, such as those produced by leading U.S. movie studios - including the long-established Hollywood majors NBC Universal, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), and 20th Century Fox - as well as to popular foreign television series, documentaries and animation. The Company also creates for the domestic market Japanese versions (both dubbed and subtitled) of such programming and licenses them to Japan's leading television broadcasting companies.
In 2005, Broadmedia Studios signed an agreement with NBC Universal, granting the Company exclusive terrestrial and basic subscription TV broadcasting rights in the Japanese market to a wide selection of Universal's first run and library feature films, as well as new TV movies and TV series.
Broadmedia Studios will continue working hard to promote these first-rate entertainment features. Going forward, however, the Company will not rely on acquiring television broadcast rights only, but will put its efforts into seeking out attractive, high-quality programs and movies, and acquiring “all rights” to such product.
By securing “all rights,” we are acquiring all the windows from theatrical, DVD, video-on-demand (VOD), and pay-per-view, to terrestrial broadcast. Through investing in advertising and promotion, it is possible to exploit the product to viewers throughout the various windows. Our chief aim is to realize a “content distribution revolution.” |
