NBC Universal is pursuing film and television production acquisitions in Europe, India and Japan as part of a drive to bolster its offering of shows and movies outside the U.S.
NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker said at a media briefing in London Tuesday that such markets were attractive for new deals as the company strives to double the size of its international operations.
Earlier in the day, NBC announced a $150-million deal to buy a 26% stake in India’s New Delhi Television.
“This is a good platform to build a big Indian business for our company,” said Peter Smith, president of NBC Universal’s international business.
