'Cosmic Journeys' Takes Voyage to the Italian Market
Janson Media announced today that it has struck several licensing deals in the Italian market for its scientific discovery series Cosmic Journeys(18 x 30'). The acquisitions will open marketing opportunities for an Italian version of the intriguing series via television, on-demand and DVD platforms.
Cosmic Journeys was acquired by both the RAI Educational channel, and by Telecom Italia, which will begin airing selected episodes of the series on it's SVOD platform Cubovision in September. The Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera will also bundle DVDs of Cosmic Journeys for its kiosk distribution throughout the country. The Italian version will be hosted by Mr. Piero Angela. Angela is well-known in Italy for his work as a science journalist and writer, contributing his expertise to relevant programming since the 1960s.
How did the universe begin? Where will it end? Are there other worlds like Earth? Cosmic Journeys combs the rubble of exploding stars and dives into gigantic black holes in search of answers to our most searching questions about the cosmos and its most mysterious moons, planets and stars. Producer Thomas Lucas specializes in productions that make use of special effects and high-end computer animations, which are incorporated each episode.
RAI operates a large number of television channels and radio stations, broadcasting via digital terrestrial transmission (15 television and 7 radio channels nationwide) and from several satellite and IPTV platforms. It is Italy's biggest broadcaster with broadcasts also received in neighboring countries, including Albania, Croatia, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, Slovenia, Vatican City, and southern Switzerland.
An Italian publishing icon, Corriere della Sera was founded in 1876 by Eugenio Torelli Viollier. In the 1910s and 1920s, under the direction of Luigi Albertini, it became the most widely read newspaper in Italy, maintaining its importance and influence into the present century. Telecom Italia, owner of Cubovision, is the largest Italian telecommunications company, also active in the media and manufacturing industries.
