MDA, VOOM HD, Mega Media, Re-Up Co-Productions

NEW YORK, April 15: VOOM HD Networks in the U.S.,
Singapore’s Mega Media and the Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA)
have renewed two lifestyle Asia-themed series generated from the trio’s
original 2005 collaborative pact: Spa Seekers and Appetizing Adventures with Luke Mangan.

Both series will return for second seasons, with all new
episodes going into production in the coming months. The two series will air on
VOOM HD Networks’ ULTRA HD channel in the U.S. as well as on the international
VOOM HD channel.

With episodes shot in some of Asia’s most exotic spas, Spa
Seekers follows the travels of two sisters
whose stark differences provide unique perspectives of the resorts they visit.
Meanwhile, Appetizing Adventures with Luke Mangan follows the Australian chef on a culinary road trip
throughout Asia as he seeks inspiration for new dishes for his restaurants in
Sydney, Tokyo and San Francisco.

There were also a number of other HD co-productions
generated by VOOM HD Networks, Mega Media and the MDA, including the action
sports series BMX P.I.G. and Metro
BMX Jam: Singapore, the computer gaming documentary series New
Revolution, the fashion reality series Style
Me with Rachel Hunter, the travel
documentaries Ultra Eye Tokyo and
Ultra Eye Singapore and sports
documentaries Beyond the Edge—F1 Powerboats, Rainforest Challenge: Mud, Guts and Glory, Planet Parkour Singapore and Hope on the Andaman Coast—a Cliff
Diving Expedition.

“To see these two series continue is certainly gratifying,
as it shows the strength of our collaboration in bringing viewers globally
appealing content,” said Greg Moyer, VOOM HD Networks’ general manager. “We
look forward to expanding on this success.”

Added Dr.
Christopher Chia, the CEO of the MDA, "Spa Seekers and Appetizing Adventures with Luke Mangan have done a wonderful job in showing the world some
of Asia’s finest spas, foods and customs—exactly what we had hoped for
when we embarked on our collaboration.”
