Short description
This cooperation has been initiated in 2001 by France 3 Nord-Pas de Calais Picardie, Télé Bruxelles, ATV-Anvers, No Télé-Tournai, Télé Mons Borinage and TV Rijnmond-Rotterdam. It s objective is to exchange programmes or news reports, to co-produce on common topics and on a larger basis to build an information network between all partners. The stations have signed a cooperation agreement and engage themselves to follow strict guidelines f.e concerning transmission rights or to meet three times a year.

A first programme has been co-produced in January 2002. The topic was how to spend 100 Euros in each town. The concept was the same for all producing stations : each town portrayed by a journalist from another partner country.

There was a presentation of the cooperation during the copro workshops at the CR conference in Kosice and the tv station of Kent may join the network.
