The Spanish operator Orange reached an agreement with The Mediapro Studio for the joint acquisition of content and the exclusive premiere of movies and series through the Orange TV platform. It is a similar deal to the recent agreement between Movistar and Atresmedia, who agreed to set up a joint TV production company to share and distribute content.
Following the agreement, Orange has secured rights to feature films including “Rifkin’s Festival” and “Official Competition,” as well as the television series “The Head” and “Caminantes”.
“Our company is decidedly committed to promoting the production of quality content in Spain, and this alliance with Mediapro allows us to strengthen this objective, as well as to enrich the offer for customers of our television platform, one of the most evolved and innovated in recent years in our country, both from a functional and content point of view,” said Josep Maria Rabés, Director of Orange TV.
Laura Fernández Espeso, Corporate and Television Director at The Mediapro Studio, added: “The greater the interest in the original content of platforms and operators, the more opportunities we have to strengthen production. Orange TV is betting heavily on its television offering, which we are pleased to be part of with an important selection of our most important productions”.
Lastly, Javier Méndez, Director of Global Content at The Mediapro Studio, commented: “We are proud to be a guarantee of quality for all our partners. Agreements like this not only confirm the confidence of the sector, but also strengthen our position as a leading partner in the production and distribution of content at an international level”.
