ITV Global Scores New MTV Series

CANNES: ITV Global Entertainment has expanded the global reach of the MTV series Old Skool, while also taking on the distribution rights to a new series for the Viacom-owned channel, called How’s Your News?

How’s Your News?, from South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone, is a 6×30-minute documentary series for MTV featuring a team of reporters with disabilities who drive across America in a customized tour bus documenting their experiences and laughs along the way. This follows ITV Global’s distribution deal with Old Skool, which has now rolled out to more than 40 territories. "We are delighted to be working with MTV again," said Gary McDonagh, factual executive at ITV Global. "Old Skool has proven to be such a big hit around the world and we look forward to the same success with How’s Your News? It is not often a unique show like this comes along, it is both incredibly funny and extremely heart-warming."
