Discop East: As part of a study of needs and resources of TV channels in the Balkans, the Caucasus region and Central Asia, Christophe Dehlinger, CFI representative for the Mediterranean region, will be going to Discop East in Budapest (17-19 June) to start this quality survey. The outcome of this survey will be rounded off with a quantitative analysis that CFI will leverage to replace its offer-oriented strategy with one centred on responding to demand, in terms of both programmes and transfer of skills in the Mediterranean-Asia region. |
