TCB Media Rights Introduces Trio of Originals

TCB Media Rights has ordered and will fully fund three original series, World’s Most Incredible Hotels, World’s Most Extraordinary Families and Wild Tube.

Hannah Demidowicz, who joined TCB in May in the newly created role of commissioning editor, is supervising all three titles, which will launch globally at MIPCOM. TCB will retain the worldwide rights to the series.

World’s Most Incredible Hotels, co-produced by Blackball Media and Woodcut Media, takes viewers through the staff door of some of the world’s most exclusive establishments, including Solent Forts, Oberoi India, The Reverie Saigon and the Ice Hotel. World’s Most Extraordinary Families from Title Role Productions looks at the modern family construct.

Spark TV recently entered into a development deal with TCB and is producing Wild Tube. The program features footage of animals and insights and explanations from wildlife experts into how they mate, create homes, rear their young, hunt, mark territory and resolve conflicts.

Demidowicz said, “Over the last six years, we’ve discovered exactly what our broadcast partners want: fresh and original concepts, engaging characters and universal stories. World’s Most Incredible Hotels, World’s Most Extraordinary Families and Wild Tube deliver exactly that—and a lot more besides. By developing and funding our own content, we are not only in control of our own pipeline, but totally invested in the quality and success of our shows. And that means we can offer a level of service that takes the traditional distributor-broadcaster relationship to a whole new level.”
