DECODE Receives Renewal on The Latest Buzz

TORONTO/LONDON, June 20:
DECODE Entertainment has been commissioned by The Family Channel in Canada to
produce a second season of 26 22-minute episodes of the tween comedy The
Latest Buzz.

"We wanted a sitcom and DECODE delivered,” said Sandra Walmark, the
manager of original production at Family Channel. “In talking to tweens, they
told us that the characters are both funny and real. In their words ‘just like
me,’ which is bang on what Family is all about.”

A broadcast date for the
second season has not been announced. In The Latest Buzz, the struggling youth-oriented magazine Teen Buzz
decides to replace its staff with
actual teens. The ensemble press team includes rich girl fashionista Amanda;
the music guru Noah; and Wilder the gamer. Meanwhile, Rebecca covers the school
beat, while her best friend Michael has an ear for celebrity gossip.

Beth Stevenson, the
executive VP of production and development, commented: “We are thrilled to have
a second season order of The Latest Buzz. We are also very excited to be working with the Family Channel on
our first multi camera sitcom.”
