TVT brings BBC World News to Hulu Japan
Published: ASIA
JAPAN: Independent media services and postproduction house, TVT, has signed a deal to provide BBC World News video-on-demand (VoD) content to Hulu Japan. The new agreement reportedly follows a long-standing relationship with the channel that has seen TVT assist in the delivery of regional Japanese content for 21 years, and will see it deliver localised versions of popular documentaries to the Japanese market.
‘Our experience of working within Japan and with the BBC is what truly makes this a great fit. VoD providers such as Hulu expect high quality and consistent content which conforms to their strict criteria for video encoding and metadata and our knowledge of the market and the requirements of VoD platforms means we are able to deliver exactly that,’ commented Kim Thesiger of TVT. ‘We also pride ourselves on our tailored, bespoke approach to media management – it is something we really excel at. The new agreement with BBC World News complements the work we already do with them. We look forward to kick-starting our work for Hulu Japan, and helping to deliver great, local content.’
Hulu joins a host of other VoD platforms that TVT delivers content to including Netflix, Comcast, UPC, Mediaset, Multichoice and Canal.
