Film producers to launch TV channel

[Thakur]

Soon a round-the-clock movie channel
managed by the Kerala Film Producers
Association will enter the television air space.
A meeting of the producers held here on
Wednesday decided to launch the channel
within three months.
The decision came after entertainment
television channels refused to buy satellite
rights of movies citing poor quality and high
rates for the rights, especially those with
superstars in lead roles. Many producers were
left in the lurch by the stance.
“We have 130 films in our kitty to start the
24X7 channel. The satellite rights of most of
these movies could not be sold owing to the
stance taken by the entertainment channels.
We will not be at these channels’ mercy now
as all the new movies could be telecast
through our channel,” said M. Renjith,
secretary of Film Producers Association.
G. Sureshkumar, president of the
organisation, said many investors had already
evinced interest in the proposed channel.
A committee had been formed to work out
the modalities of the round-the-clock movie
channel. Besides the association
representatives, it would have producer-
director Vinayan and producer-distributor
Siyad Kokker as its members.
Maximum returns
Mr. Vinayan said that the channel would end
the supremacy enjoyed by entertainment
television channels in Malayalam. He said the
producers would get the maximum returns
from the sale of satellite rights with the
launch of the new channel. Film producers to launch TV channel - The Hindu: Mobile Edition

I wish we have one such channel owned and managed by film producers in Tamil so we can see all types of recent movies and film producers make money via ad's and channel subscription.

Malayalam film producers body plans to launch a TV channel!

Kerala Film Producers’ Association is getting
ready to try its luck in the small-screen by
launching a 24×7 movie channel in the wake
of entertainment channels in the state
imposing regulations in buying the satellite
rights of new movies.
The Association has formed a committee led by
director-producer Vinayan to study the
feasibility of the project, industry officials
said.
The Association president G Suresh Kumar said,
the aim of the project is to end the hegemony
of regional entertainment channels.
“Channels are refusing to accept many of the
films citing trivial reasons. Many of them are
accepting only big banner movies with
superstar cast. This largely affects those who
take a medium-budget movie with ordinary
actors,” Kumar told PTI.
He said not only producers but technicians
and artistes of the Malayalam industry were
also toying with the idea of launching an
exclusive movie channel for some time.
The Association has also plans to join hands
with its counterparts in south India to screen
other language movies in its channel, Suresh
said.
Many industry players have already evinced
keen interest in investing in the channel, he
added. Malayalam film producers body plans to launch a TV channel! – Bollywood News & Gossip, Movie Reviews, Trailers & Videos at Bollywoodlife...
