A guy walks away from a career as an artist and performer and doesn't appear again on stage for 25 years. When he leaves performing, he is at the peak of his creative power, having just garnered Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe songwriting nominations. He disappears into the corporate media world, selling 70 million soundtracks for the biggest movies of the past two decades ( Avatar, Titanic, Slumdog Millionaire, Juno) as President of Fox Music from 1994-2012.

Congratulations to Mongolian media mogul Nomin Chinbat, named one of The Hollywood Reporter's 25 Most Powerful Women in Global TV, who has made it her mission to bring Mongolian broadcast tv into the 21st century.  

As Nomin explains in her interview with C21, Mongol TV is the only network in the country that bucks the trend of rampant piracy. In this nation of just 3 million people, format knock-offs are par for the course but Chinbat is a modernizing pioneer, bringing awareness and respect for trademark rights to her work as an industry thought leader.

This is no surprise given that Mongol TV's rebrand was executed by Michel Rodrigue's The Format People who spearheaded nothing short of a revolution in Mongolian broadcasting by bringing over a team of over 30 international experts to train local talent and build Mongolian studios from the ground up.

Mongol TV was honored in June at Promax BDA with a bronze award for their on-air graphics campaign. 

MGC is proud to have Mongol TV as a client and be part of the next wave of quality broadcasting in Mongolia.
