Markets

According to Variety Mipcom decided to take a decision about the market in September.

"The organizers of Cannes TV market and conference Mipcom have set a September deadline to decide on the fate of the October event.

As it stands, Mipcom is set to go ahead in the fall, running from Oct. 12-15; however, sources tell Variety that Reed Midem will wait until Sept. 1 to make a decision on whether or not the event can go ahead — a move that has caused some concern among execs keen to make decisions on fall events as early as possible.

Mipcom, which opened registrations last week, is a major date in the global industry calendar, and last year drew more than 13,000 delegates to the French Riviera."
