Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac shares tumble after conservatorship comments
LONDON - Zinc Media Group plc (AIM:LON:ZIN), a leading television, brand, and audio production company, has announced two new multimillion-pound commissions and a BAFTA award for its factual entertainment series. The company’s Brook Lapping and Atomic Television labels have been commissioned to produce a documentary series and a travelogue, respectively, set to begin production in 2025.
The documentary, titled "Live Aid at 40," is being produced by Brook Lapping in collaboration with Ronachan Films and will air on BBC and CNN. The series commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Live Aid Concert and explores the event’s complex stories and lasting impact, featuring interviews with notable figures such as Bob Geldof and Bono. Additionally, a remastered version of the original 1985 concert footage will be rebroadcast on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
The second commission, "The Square Route with Hannah Fry" (working title), is a six-part travelogue for National Geographic and Bloomberg, produced by Atomic Television in conjunction with Ancestry. The series follows mathematician Hannah Fry as she explores how geography, climate, history, and culture shape countries and their inhabitants.
These projects are expected to contribute to Zinc’s financial year 2025 revenue, which has already been factored into the company’s forecasts.
Furthermore, Zinc’s Rex Production label’s "Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour" series received a BAFTA for factual entertainment at the awards ceremony on Sunday. Following this recognition, a second series of the show has been commissioned and is scheduled to air in the autumn on BBC Two & iPlayer.
Mark Browning, CEO of Zinc Media Group, expressed pride in the commissions and the BAFTA win, highlighting them as evidence of the company’s high standing in the television industry and the trust placed in them by clients.
