Activities
Pink International's range of activities encompass:
Radio
Radio Pink was started in 1993, covering only the Belgrade metropolitan area. The premise behind the radio was to focus on music programming. No news is broadcast.
Television
TV Pink (or RTV Pink) is the leading commercial television station in Serbia. Founded in 1994 and covering initially only the Belgrade area, the station later achieved countrywide reach by the late 1990s. In 1998, TV Pink achieved the leading position in the market. TV Pink's emphasis is on light entertainment programming: movies, sitcoms, music variety shows, talk shows, reality shows and news.
Satellite Television
Pink International provides production content for two global satellite channels (Pink Extra and Pink Plus) broadcast to subscribers in Europe, Australia and North America. There are nine direct-to-home (DTH) satellite channels that have been created in cooperation with Serbia's largest cable company, Serbia Broadband (SBB) although some content from Pink Extra and/or Pink Plus is available on the DTH channels. Pink International provides content for these satellite channels from its own production (TV Pink) and well as content purchased from or co-produced with independent production companies. Additionally, some content for the channels is also obtained from the sister television stations in Bosnia and Herzegovina (TV Pink BH) and Montenegro (TV Pink M).
Fashion TV Southeast Europe
In November 2008, Pink International launched Fashion TV Southeast Europe (Fashion TV SEE or FTV SEE). Pink International obtained the franchise rights, from Fashion TV International, for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia. This regional satellite channel is distributed through cable and DTH. Michel Adam Lisowski, the owner of Fashion TV International, attended the launch activities with senior Pink representatives including Zeljko Mitrovic in Belgrade, Ljubljana and Zagreb. Fashion TV SEE has a potential market reach of more than 20 million viewers.
Film Production
PFI Studios (opened in 2007), a division of Pink International, consists currently of eight sound stages that have been designed and built to attract international productions, primarily American and West European. A ninth sound stage, planned for completion in 2011, will be one of the largest in Europe. In addition to the sound stages, the studio complex consists of administrative office buildings, warehouses and a back lot (12.5 hectares), all located in ?imanovci just 15 minutes outside of Belgrade. PFI Studios provides full production support in addition to studio infrastructure to international film projects. To date, productions such as Lockout and The Raven have been shot there.
PFI Studios has also co-produced Serbian films that have achieved local box office acclaim: Promeni me (Change Me), ?etvrti ?ovek (The Fourth Man), ?itulja za Eskobara (Obituary for Escobar), and Zona mrtvih (Zone of the Dead).
