Focus in Asia in 2011/2012
“We work with many pan-regional broadcasters in Asia and have seen growth in pay TV across the region, but we’ve also been growing our local reach both on free TV and local cable in countries like India, China and Taiwan. Many of our entertainment programmes can be easily adapted for local audiences… a feature we find increasingly important in Asia in order for finished programmes to compete with local productions.”
HD/3D
All of CABLEready’s new programmes are being produced in HD. Although the company doesn’t represent any 3D programmes at the moment, it is always open to working with new producers of high-quality content from all parts of the world.
Top shows are...:
Saw Dogs
“Master Carver” Steve Blanchard and his foreman introduce us to the hidden art of “chainsaw carving”. They pull from a pool of the best carvers in the world, matching their special skill sets to each week’s project, to craft some of the most intricate wood carvings imaginable. But unlike other crafts, chainsaw carving has an element of danger. Mistakes have resulted in loss of limb and even death. Confronting the chainsaw challenge requires a steady hand, a fearless disposition and a healthy ego. Episodes/ length: 10x30 mins (HD)
Hollywood’s Top Ten
Each episode counts down the top 10 of everything in Hollywood featuring memorable scenes from movies new and old. Top 10 car chases, Brad Pitt movies and movie kisses are just a few of the lists to be counted down. Each episode is evergreen, can be customised with local hosts according to network needs and shortened to be used as fillers. Episodes/length: 150x30 mins and new episodes weekly (HD)
