Magnum has a number of formats in development with broadcasters. The first new show that DRG will distribute is <em>The Twelve Stars of Christmas<\/em>. Existing formats that come into the new output deal include magic show <em>Trick Artist<\/em> and <em>Chris Moyles\u2019 Quiz Night<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMagnum Media is without a doubt one of the most creative and commercial independent format producers working in the U.K. today,\u201d says Katy Cundall, the senior VP of acquisitions at DRG, who brokered the deal. \u201cWe are really delighted that they have put their faith in DRG and see us as the best partner to maximize their valuable IP on the international market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAndy and Dean have outstanding pedigrees when it comes to creating and delivering great formats in the U.K. DRG has extensive experience of taking formats and making them massive international hits (for example <em>Don\u2019t Tell the Bride<\/em>, now in 15 territories). So, I am confident that our combined talents will ensure a very positive future for us both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andy Auerbach from Magnum Media commented: \u201cDRG is exactly what we are looking for in a distribution partner as it combines the deal-making experience of a global distributor with the passion and entrepreneurial spirit of a small company. As such, it is a perfect fit for Magnum and we are thrilled\u00a0to be working with the DRG team to create the next big global format.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: DRG and Magnum Media, which has produced such titles as Duck Quacks Don\u2019t Echo, have forged a first-look deal that initially covers a two-year period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":5172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[504,694],"class_list":["post-5171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-drg","tag-magnum-media","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
