Major new series commissioned by Channel 4 - Village of the Year
2017
Zinc Media Group plc (AIM: ZIN), the leading TV and multimedia
content producer, announces that it has been commissioned by
Channel 4 to produce a major new series 'Village of the Year' due
to be screened late 2017 and presented by Penelope Keith.
Penelope Keith has already visited scores of rural communities
in her Hidden Villages series for Channel 4. Now she is taking on
her biggest challenge yet - to scour the length and breadth of
Britain to crown one village 'Village of the Year 2017'.
From stunning coastal fishing villages to hillside farming
communities and from outlandish artist colonies to the most
traditional chocolate box hamlets, Village of the Year 2017 with
Penelope Keith will celebrate all that is great about Great
Britain's rural communities.
The 24 episodes x 60-minute series, produced by Zinc Media's
subsidiary Reef Television will air across both daytime and
peak.
Penelope will preside over heats, semi-finals and final, with a
panel of expert judges deciding which villages will progress
through the rounds before revealing their winner, based on the
following criteria: Appearance; History & Heritage; Village
Events; Activities; and Visitor Experience.
They will award their chosen village with the accolade of
Village of the Year and GBP10,000 to be used for a worthwhile
community project.
David Galan, Chief Operating and Financial Officer,
commented:
"We are delighted that we have been awarded this high profile
commission with Channel 4 and it further highlights our strategy of
securing long running series in our TV business. We are also
delighted to be working once again with Channel 4 and Penelope
Keith in what we expect to be a popularTV series with the British
public in 2017 bringing communities together."
