Speaking at the MIPTV funfest in Cannes, Hincks says Endemol is getting back into the acquisitions business. The production company has endured some rough financial times, but Hincks is putting on as brave a face as possible.
As for the Factor channel, it will feature archival footage from the NBC series plus oddball clips sent in by oddball users. Endemol wants to expand the channel worldwide, which may be just what the world needs now.
Meanwhile, Fremantle is peddling the Perfect Score format at Cannes. This is the Dating Game retread spiced up with compatibility scores. In the U.S. we'll see it on the CW this July, but Fremantle wants to spread it around the globe. They're also looking to sell many other unscripted formats.
