Three part series commissioned by ITV
Zinc Media Group plc (AIM: ZIN), the leading TV and multimedia
content producer, is pleased to announce that its TV subsidiary,
Blakeway Productions Limited ("Blakeway"), has been commissioned by
ITV to produce a three-part prime time series, an access led
documentary with the Royal Air Force ("RAF").
The size of the commission is material to Blakeway's budget.
Furthermore, Blakeway is currently in advanced discussions with
potential US co-production partners which are expected to result in
a larger overall commission value if successful.
This is a highly ambitious project which has taken many months
of planning and negotiations to secure and, is testament to the
high regard that Blakeway is held in across the broadcasting
industry and as a trusted film maker with the subjects of access
led programmes.
David Galan, Chief Operating and Financial Officer,
commented:
"We are delighted that we have been awarded this high-profile
commission with ITV and the RAF which further highlights our
strategy of securing bigger budget multi-part series in our TV
business. We are also delighted to be working once again with ITV
to bring quality and informative factual programming to the UK and
international markets."
