Los Angeles – Former News Corporation executive Martin Pompadur, E! Entertainment Television co-founder Larry Namer and Amerilink founder Jean Zhang have launched Metan Development Group LLC (Metan), a new venture created to develop and distribute entertainment content and media specifically for the Chinese market. The announcement was made by Metan’s founders. “Our goal is to create and acquire high quality content for the Chinese audience developed from a Chinese perspective,” said Namer. “We possess the proven expertise and important contacts, including invaluable working relationships with China Central Television and the China Association of Film, Radio and Television, enabling us to assist all content creators and owners to sell their programming to the over 3,500 provincial, regional, city and local stations within the region.” First on the agenda will be the creation and distribution of original programming tailored to the Chinese TV market, as well as internet and mobile content to complement each television property. Hollywood Today, Music News, World Film News and World Sports Report will be available by early 2010. Metan’s first offering set to debut in late 2009 will be Hollywood Today, a daily 15-minute program offering the latest entertainment news. The program will feature two anchors reporting from Metan’s Beijing studios and Chinese speaking field reporters in the US. In 2010, Metan will launch its live event division and present the top Western music, dance and stage acts to the Chinese audience. Metan currently has offices in Encino, California and Beijing, with plans to open in Shanghai in late 2009.
