London – Fuji Television Network, Inc, and FremantleMedia Asia, have announced a new strategic co-development partnership focusing on supplying new television formats to Asia to maximise opportunities for business development and growth in the ever-expanding regional market.

FremantleMedia Asia and Fuji TV will work closely to build a steady content pipeline for viewers across Asia, co-developing, co-producing and rolling out fresh television formats as well as amplifying the business opportunities of each other’s existing formats in local Asian territories.

Mr. Ian Hogg, CEO, FremantleMedia Asia, said, “The Asian marketplace is thriving and this new deal between Fuji TV and FremantleMedia Asia will capitalise on opportunities to develop our Asian businesses more aggressively and deliver powerful new programming throughout the region.”

This new deal in Asia enhances and builds upon the success of the global Creative Exchange Alliance between Fuji TV and FremantleMedia, which saw highly experienced senior creative staff from both companies’ global production teams undertake placements in each other’s businesses, and resulted in the creation of such  hit global programmes as Total Blackout.
