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.”
