Case Study | NBC Universal Global Networks Northern Europe
About NBC Universal Global Networks Northern Europe
As part of one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies, NBC Universal Global Networks’ Northern Europe division covers the recognised channel brands of, among others, SCI FI and 13TH STREET.
What was required?
For the SCI FI channel’s and 13TH STREET’s launch on the UPC platform in the Benelux region NBC Universal Global Networks required reliable, accurate and compelling EPGs to be produced both in English and in Dutch.
The solution
Having provided the UK SCI FI channel’s EPG for many years EBS were ideally placed to provide the EPG to the UPC platform for both SCI FI and 13TH STREET.
Our team of creative writers produce eye-catching synopses for both channel brands. From the SCI FI channel’s geek-chic to 13TH STREET’s gritty crime dramas, EBS research and create each synopsis in English to the required specification before they are proofread by a fellow editor and sent to the channel for sign-off.
Once the English synopses are signed off they are sent to our experienced, award-winning translation partner who, within a couple of days, returns the Dutch version of each synopsis to us to be imported into our EPG software, Digigate. From Digigate we produce a schedule document to the required specification ready for release to the channel’s distribution list as well as seamlessly integrating the listings into the channel’s websites which EBS also created and manage.
