The deals brokered through LGI Media’s Beijing office by Karen Lee, Head of Sales – Asia, includes a package deal of over 397 hours to YuanLai Education an educational program broadcaster based in Wuhan, China.  The package includes a variety of programs from LGI’s catalogue including Coded World (4 x 60’), Horses (1 x 60’) and VR 101 (8 x 30’).

VR101 is a highly entertaining factual series that will take viewers on the exciting journey of VR and how it will change the way we live, work and play.  The series looks at how VR is applied across different fields such as TV & film, security/public safety, gaming and medicine.  Expert interviews, eye-catching graphics and informative VR content showcase this amazing technology.

Further deals include Beijing based OTT & VOD operator Bytedance China, owners of the world’s leading short-form video platform TikTok acquiring 168.5 hours of programming for their network’s new documentary slot.  Programs include reality series Spiky Gold Hunters (6 x 60’) which reveals one of New Zealand’s most dangerous jobs and gets a unique insight into the sub-culture of sea urchin fishermen and The Wine Guys: Grape Escapes (6 x 30’).  In addition, Hong Kong based broadcaster PCCW has picked up LGI Media’s 4K program Yohji Yamamoto: Rebel in Black (1 x 60’) for their SVOD platform.
