Meet the Commissioning Editors/Funders: Mark Bell, BBC
9:30 am – 10:00 am Wednesday, Dec. 3
Starting on Monday afternoon and continuing throughout Congress, a number of broadcasters will present an overview of their networks. WCSFP 2008 also offers between 30 and 40 small group meetings with individual commissioning editors and media executives, all of whom either commission science and history programs from independent producers outside their own territories or who provide significant funding. Designed to be intimate and interactive, the numbers will be strictly limited and will run on a first come first served. However, recordings of these meetings will be available to delegates on request.
BBC commissioning executive Mark Bell is interested in science and history landmarks, singles and events (including natural history) to air across BBC One, Two, Three and Four.
