Eccho Rights lands Turkish dramas on Portugal's SIC
Eccho Rights has secured a significant deal with Portuguese free-to-air broadcaster SIC, licensing a string of acclaimed Turkish drama series to the channel. The agreement sees SIC acquire I Am Mother, My Home My Destiny, A Journey to Belong, Elif and Wounded Birds, adding a substantial new tranche of Turkish drama content to the broadcaster's schedule.
The deal was concluded by Melis Hamamcıoğlu, Sales Executive at Eccho Rights for Portugal, and comes ahead of the international content market Content Europe, which takes place in Lisbon this week (April 21–23).
Melis Hamamcıoğlu commented: "This is a really exciting moment for Eccho Rights in Portugal. SIC remains the country's biggest broadcaster, and bringing such a strong and diverse slate of Turkish titles to their schedule reflects the growing confidence Portuguese audiences have shown in this genre. With Content Europe taking place in Lisbon this week, the timing could not feel more apt — it is a wonderful demonstration of the momentum Turkish drama continues to build right across Europe."
The deal reinforces Eccho Rights' growing footprint in the Iberian market, following recent sales activity across Spain and Latin America.
