Challenges
Adding international content presented several challenges for SBT Brazil:
Finding the right type of content
Doing the research and discovering the right international shows and movies is not easy. They needed to find titles, genres, and languages that would truly click with their diverse audience.
Sourcing the desired content
SBT had to navigate through a thick network of distributors, sales agents, and regional companies that had their own rules and procedures. Buying content from new countries like South Korea, Turkey, Japan, and Brazil can be difficult if you haven’t explored those markets before.
Acquiring the rights
