The EBU Television Department has a stand
at MipTV in Cannes from 24 to 28 March 2003.
On Monday, the TV Department organized a
screening to present dozens of programmes and ongoing projects
highlighting the new look for Young Dancers and Young Musicians, a
new animation series Pitt & Kantrop, and Midnight Circus, which
is a pool of entertainment programme segments to be exchanged
during 2004. As a backdrop to the continuing war in Iraq, a new
current affairs programme was also unveiled in Cannes: What the
World Thinks of America (negotiated as an EBU coproduction), which
will be presented by the BBC and made available to broadcasters
worldwide.
Tuesday is Eurovision day. A new Junior
Eurovision Song Contest and plans for a brand new format for the
adult Eurovision Song Contest were outlined at an international
press conference.
Plans for the rest of the week
include broadcaster promotions, new format presentations and Member
receptions on the EBU stand.
