While much of the licensing industry heads over to Warsaw for the fourth Licensing Forum: Central and Eastern Europe this week, those firms focused on TV content will be preparing for MIPTV.

Later this week, Licensing.biz will offer a overview of what to expect from this year's event and also detail what some of the major firms from our business will be showing over there.

The Company Profile will put the spotlight on art and design brand Thomas Kinkade, while Andrew Carley, head of merchandising at Contender Entertainment, will be featured in My Life in Licensing.

The Big Interview this week is with Katarina Dietrich, the new CEO of CPLG.

Finally, Christopher Thorpe, CTO of Mind Candy, offers his views on why the loss of homegrown children's entertainment programmes on TV may damage the wealth and future of the UK online entertainment and games sector.
