Simon and Nigel Lythgoe, 50 Cent, Charlie Chaplin… yet another icon will be on the cover of TVBIZZ Russia this MIPCOM – Mr. Simon Cowell.

The creator of The X Factor and Got Talent gave an exclusive interview for the magazine several days ahead of receiving MIPCOM’s Personality of the Year Award.

The magazine will hit the world’s largest TV market next week and will also feature interviews with Maarten Meijs, MD of Talpa Global, and Ruben Oganesyan, GM of U TV and Russia’s TV Manager of the Year. Star Media will unveil its first project with major Hollywood stars exclusively to TVBIZZ Russia. We will trace The Rise and Fall of the Apps and look into The Renaissance of Russian animation and find out how Russia’s hit sitcom The Kitchen was adapted in Estonia.

These are some of the highlights in the special MIPCOM edition of TVBIZZ Russia. The English version will be distributed during the market in Cannes.
