Liberty Global to Add Original On-Demand Content in All3Media Deal

Liberty Global signed a deal with All3Media for creation of original content for its European, Latin American and Caribbean customers, Liberty said in a news release Tuesday. Liberty said the deal is for four original drama series over the next two years, with the series to be made available on demand to subscribers. All3Media production companies will produce the series, Liberty said. Liberty and Discovery are joint partners in All3Media, and Liberty and Discovery also renewed their distribution agreement, Liberty said in a separate news release Tuesday. That renewal will keep Discovery networks on Liberty's cable lineups in 12 European nations, and includes digital rights for accessing that programing on various devices and out of the home, Liberty said. Liberty said the deal also includes full Olympic Games coverage through Discovery's Eurosport network.
