Hitting the target?
Article Abstract:
Producers have to consider several factors in licensing and merchandising hit television shows in foreign lands, such as having the right broadcast partner, hiring a local licensing agent, and the different market trends for each country. Asia is seen as a big market where local agents can be useful, with Hit Entertainment's "Thomas" as the second most popular pre-school brand in Japan. Product piracy, especially in China, is also discussed.
