Set for blast-off in Cannes

Article Abstract:

Approaches to the launch of television programmes are changing substantially as the market becomes more competitive. There is now considerable need for pre-sales and advanced warning to buyers, but this does not mean that major market launches have lost their significance. Nevertheless, such launches now play a different role in the marketing plans of television programme distributors. The Mip, Mipcom and Natpe events still account for a large proportion of the business of many distributors.
