TTV Productions

What TTV Productions does

TTV Productions Ltd. is an Israeli content production company founded in 1991 by Zafrir Kochanovsky and headquartered in Tel Aviv. It specializes in the creation, development, and production of audiovisual content across a broad portfolio of genres, including drama series, sitcoms, feature films, documentary films, documentary series, doc-reality, talk shows, lifestyle programming, animation, and new media. The company operates a structured development function that forecasts broadcaster needs, develops original IP, and reviews external proposals, supporting a continuous pipeline of projects rather than a single product platform.

The company sells and licenses finished content to Israeli broadcasters — KAN, Reshet, Keshet, yes, HOT, Educational Television, and Makan — and selectively to international platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and Portugal's SIC, with additional reach via international film festivals. Revenue is generated primarily through production fees, broadcast licensing, and international sales. TTV supplements its production budgets with co-financing from philanthropic and public film funds (e.g., Gesher Multicultural Film Fund, AVI CHAI Foundation, Claims Conference, The New Fund for Cinema and Television, MAKOR Foundation).

Its go-to-market is sales-led: a small, founder-led team (11–50 employees) leverages 30+ years of broadcaster relationships and an award track record — including an International Emmy nomination in 2023, Rockie Award 2023, and multiple festival prizes — to compete for commissions and licensing deals. Distribution runs through direct sales to enterprise broadcast and streaming buyers, with festival-circuit presence and a maintained IMDb listing supporting discoverability.
