SINGAPORE, June 28: VOOM HD
Networks, Singapore’s Mega Media and the Media Development Authority of
Singapore (MDA) have collaborated for the new HD culinary series Appetizing
Adventures with Luke Mangan, set to
premiere on VOOM’s Ultra HD channel later this year.

Currently in production, the 8×30-minute series resulted

generated by VOOM HD Networks, Mega Media and the MDA, including the recent BMX
P.I.G. and Metro BMX Jam:
Singapore, which feature world-class
international athletes in competitive cycling events, and New
Revolution, an eight-part computer gaming
documentary being shot across Asia.

A number of successful HD programs have already rolled out
from the trio’s co-production agreement, including the fashion reality series Style
Me with Rachel Hunter, travel documentaries
Ultra Eye Tokyo and Ultra
Eye Singapore and sports documentaries Beyond
the Edge—The F1 Powerboat; Rainforest

“This series offers an excellent opportunity for us to expand our
entertainment driven, visually stunning programming line-up,” said Elizabeth
Dewey, the VP of programming for Ultra HD. “We are thrilled to be adding Luke
Mangan’s expertise and energy to the channel and delighted to be producing
again with Mega Media and MDA.”
