  • BBC Estreia Novo Canal De TV No Brasil Por Gustavo Brigatto | De São Paulo
    BBC estreia novo canal de TV no Brasil Por Gustavo Brigatto | De São Paulo Jana Bennett, presidente da BBC Worldwide: país é a prioridade em 2012 A BBC vai lançar um novo canal no Brasil. Trata-se do BBC HD, que terá em sua programação séries, documentários, música e outros tipos de conteúdo em alta definição produzidos pela rede britânica. Entre os títulos estão o seriado "Sherlock Holmes", o reality show "Dancing With the Stars" e o programa automobilístico "Top Gear". Será o segundo canal da companhia no país, ao lado do BBC World News. A diferença, diz Jana Bennett, presidente da BBC Worldwide Channels, responsável pelos canais da rede fora do Reino Unido, é que a grade de programação do BBC HD será feita sob medida para o mercado brasileiro, com legendas em português. Alguns programas serão dublados. "Temos muitas produções novas e antigas, que ainda não foram exibidas no Brasil em alta definição. E com o crescimento da TV paga no país, acreditamos que este é o momento apropriado para investir", diz a executiva ao Valor. A operação brasileira será comandada a partir de um escritório em São Paulo. Jana não revela quanto será investido no país, mas afirma que o Brasil é a prioridade da companhia em 2012. Mesmo com o mercado de alta definição engatinhando no país, Jana diz que é importante chegar ao país com a tecnologia, ao invés de estrear um canal com resolução mais baixa. "Somos grandes produtores em HD. E o mercado brasileiro está crescendo muito nesse segmento. Por isso podemos queimar uma etapa", diz a executiva.

In 2006 the BBC launched two spin-off series, Torchwood (aimed at an exclusively adult audience) and The Sarah Jane Smith Adventures (for 11–15-year-olds), and what was once regarded as an embarrass- ment to the Corporation now spans the media landscape as a multi-format colossus.
