CNN.com - Travel show host finds a TV home trekking the globe - Jun 10, 2004

The show has three types of viewers, says Ian Cross, Pilot's executive producer and managing director: the active traveler, the potential traveler and the armchair traveler. Based on viewer feedback, the show's appeal cuts across various ages, he says.

The show is now broadcast in more than 40 countries and on every continent, says Maud Nahmias, who works in sales and marketing for Pilot. Estimating how many people watch the show is difficult, Nahmias says, but the channels it is shown on have a total audience of 30 million viewers.

Singapore Film Commision : come Film with Me " sung to the Tune of Come Fly with me !"

COME FILM WITH ME

The Singapore Tourism (STB) will be providing a total of S$10million, over a period of three years, to foreign producers and production companies in an effort to woo leading international filmmakers and broadcasters to shoot movies and television programmes in Singapore. Under the newly launched Film in Singapore! Scheme (FSS), announced on 21 May 2004, STB hopes to attract more overseas TV and film companies to film on location in Singapore. With the increasing appearances of “Singapore” in wide-ranging and far-reaching international media productions, STB hopes to attract more tourists to Singapore. Under the FSS, STB would subsidise, up to a maximum of 50 per cent, for qualifying expenses incurred by international production companies during their shoots in Singapore. Qualifying expenses would include hiring of local professional services, rental of production equipment and facilities, and airfare and accommodations.
