KT Skylife Announces Production Support Contest for Small and Medium PP Until the 10th

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT Skylife will hold a 10-day open call from the 7th for the ‘Small and Medium Broadcasting Channel Operators (PP) Production Support Project.’

According to KT Skylife on the 7th, programs selected through the Small and Medium PP production support project can receive package support from content production to distribution. Skylife supports program production costs, joint marketing, and content sales and distribution. UHD channel scheduling benefits are also provided.

In particular, this year, considering the difficult production environment due to the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the support scale was increased by 50 million KRW from last year to 200 million KRW. The application period for this open call is from the 7th to the 16th of this month. Small and medium PPs that provide channels to Skylife can participate.

Skylife started the production support project open call in the second half of last year. Throughout last year, it supported the production of a total of 23 broadcasting programs, including 19 UHD programs.

Han Chan-soo, chairman of the Korea Small and Medium Broadcasting Channel Association, said, “Skylife’s continuous production support projects are expected to contribute to the win-win development between small and medium PPs and satellite broadcasting.” Kim Cheol-soo, president of KT Skylife, stated, “We will continue to make efforts to coexist with small and medium PPs by utilizing various methods that Skylife can offer, such as content production support, distribution, and marketing.”
