BBC @North Announces Yorkshire Companies for Interactive Initiative

The BBC has announced the companies who have been selected to take part in the new @North commissioning initiative being led by BBC Children’s (who are part of the BBC move to Salford in 2011). In Yorkshire there are 20 successful companies from South and West Yorkshire, reflecting the strength of the digital sector in both Leeds and Sheffield.

These companies will now work in small groups with senior subject experts in both children’s content and technology, to learn more about working with the BBC and develop their ideas at intensive workshop days. Four final projects will be commissioned  for CBBC and Cbeebies.

@North will encourage and support the development and delivery of multi platform content for children, and build a supply base of independent companies to work with BBC Children’s. The project is being run in partnership with the regional screen agencies - Northwest Vision and Media, Northern Film and Media and Screen Yorkshire, who are all hosting @North events for companies in their regions.
