IMG ENTERTAINMENT BRINGS DRAMA TO THE BEACH AT MIPTV 2008

IMG Entertainment will be showcasing more than 130 hours of new programming from a new stand location at this year's MIPTV festival in Cannes. MIPTV is the world's biggest entertainment market and trade event for professionals from the entertainment industry with over $10 billion in transactional business done between MIPTV in April and MIPCOM in October.

Strong drama titles will be debuted such as the eagerly-awaited second series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Sordid Lives: The Series, starring Olivia Newton-John, and The Diary of Anne Frank, a moving adaptation based on the memoirs of Anne Frank. IMG Entertainment's new portfolio includes original programming and formats, across a range of genres, including drama, reality, comedy, entertainment and factual.

This year will also see IMG move to a new stand location at the global content market and can now be found at Riviera Beach stand 43.

Mark Young, IMG Entertainment's Senior Vice President, Entertainment Sales & Acquisitions Worldwide, said: "This year with a strengthened team of sales and acquisition experts, a new centralised location and most importantly a catalogue full to the brim of quality programming, from both our in-house and third party production companies, we are confident that MIPTV will be the start of our most successful year to date".
