TELEPOOL ranks among the leading programme distributors in Europe. Originally founded in 1963 as the distribution arm of several public broadcasting stations, TELEPOOL has established itself as a reliable partner for producers and broadcasting stations on an international scale. Apart from world sales, its operations also include co-financing and co-production, theatrical and video distribution as well as new media and merchandising.
The company handles the international rights of its proprietors, independent producers and other TV stations. In this connection, the company has recently signed a long-term output deal with the private broadcasting station RTL Television covering the international distribution rights outside of German-speaking Europe.
In addition, TELEPOOL controls the distribution rights to numerous high-profile motion pictures for German-speaking Europe, including – through an exclusive output deal – the free-TV rights of the US major studio DreamWorks SKG and DreamWorks Animation. Due to its diversification and the staff's experience, TELEPOOL offers a comprehensive tailor-made service for any programme - no matter whether it is a documentary or of fictional content.
Operating from offices in Munich, Baden-Baden, Zurich, Leipzig and Los Angeles, the company’s highly-qualified team is headed by Managing Director Dr. Thomas Weymar.
TELEPOOL’s shareholders are:
Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR)
Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR)
