Earning the right to expand

Article Abstract:

A study found that 62% of independent television producers retained their program rights following the completion of a commission in the UK. Competition between independent producers has lead to some forgoing their rights in order to gain a commission. The study of 115 television production companies also found that 69% of producers who kept their rights managed to retain worldwide rights. The creation of several new television channels in the UK should lead to more opportunities for independent producers who will be able to negotiate new deals incorporating retention of their rights.
