Technicolor, NBCU Ink Deal

The Technicolor Services division of Thomson will provide international broadcast distribution and media management services for NBC Universal in an agreement signed between the two companies. The long-term service agreement will have Burbank-based Technicolor manage the preparation and international distribution of a total of 31 NBC Universal channels, of which 19 will be managed from a newly acquired facility in Denver and the balance managed from existing Technicolor facilities overseas. This transaction marks Technicolor’s first broadcast facility in the United States, and provides Technicolor with an excellent base for continued growth and customer penetration throughout North and South America.
