TVE signs partnership deal with CMCS

Centre for Media and Communication Studies (CMCS) signed a partnership agreement with the TVE (Television for the Environment ), a London-based international organization, on April 6, 2010 (Tuesday).

Chris Miller, TVE’s Regional Coordinator for South Asia, and Sohel Manzur, Chairman of CMCS, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective organizations.

Under the agreement, CMCS was granted the rights and license to dub, sub-title, distribute, broadcast and screen the films produced and supplied by TVE for both commercial and non-commercial use.

No revenue will be due to TVE from non-commercial distribution of the films. However, the net receipts from commercial distribution will be shared by CMCS and TVE after deduction of distribution costs and other charges, such as tax.

Both the parties, under the deal, also agreed to develop a working relationship and actively develop programs/projects jointly in their respective territory to monetize the content and develop new avenues for further local programming.

TVE, which makes films to inspire change, covers the most important stories on the planet: from climate change to the role of women, from conflict to culture, health to human rights.

The films are aimed at inspiring viewers to lead a greener life, entrepreneurs to take up the sustainability challenge, corporations to see why they need to go green and decision-makers to think, and act, differently.

TVE’s films reach 300 million homes via global broadcast and more than half a billion viewers on national, regional and local channels.
