TV Commission Awards
Zinc Media is pleased to announce several new TV commissions
across its different TV production businesses.
Channel 5 has commissioned two series from Blakeway Productions
Limited ("Blakeway") and a third from Reef Television Limited
("Reef Television"). Detail on the series cannot be revealed at
this stage for commercial reasons, however the two Blakeway
commissions are a four-part series and a six-part series, while the
Reef Television commission is a four-part series. We expect all
three to be delivered in the current financial year.
Tern Television Productions Limited ("Tern Television"), has
also been commissioned to make a raft of new series for the BBC
Scotland Channel due to launch in Q1 2019. As a leading dual-Nation
supplier (based in Scotland and Northern Ireland) Tern Television
is now delivering high-end factual programming to regional, network
and international markets.
'Beechgrove Garden' returns to BBC Scotland and BBC Two as a
26-part series. The show is set in Tern's specially designed TV
garden in Aberdeen and presented by an expert team. This popular
weekly magazine gardening show delivers topical advice and tips to
gardeners throughout Scotland and beyond. 'The Children's Hospital'
showcases the work of a remarkable hospital 'family' that day to
day deliver pioneering care to young patients from throughout
Scotland. This documentary series showcases heart-warming and life
affirming stories in a world seldom seen on TV. Additionally a
6-part authored documentary series focusses on the positive side of
life in some of Scotland's most deprived communities and a new
pilot mixes news stories and social media reaction to present a
very different point of view on the nation's news.
Collectively, these commissions are worth approximately GBP2.5m
in revenue to the Group and provide further depth to the orderbook
for the current financial year.
David Galan, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We are delighted with these recent commission wins. Many of our
recent wins are series which have the potential to become strong
returnable formats. We continue to win business across a good
spread of broadcasters and across a diverse range of factual
genres. We hope to be able to announce further significant
commission wins with certain international broadcasters in the
short to medium term"
