MGM Television has set up a new London-based division dedicated to the production of original unscripted content.<\/p>\n

MGM International Unscripted Content will be responsible for the local development of the studio’s formats and the development of original IP.<\/p>\n

The new division will be headed by Dom Bird, previously head of formats for Channel 4 and former creative director for BBC Entertainment.\u00a0Bird will jointly report to Barry Poznick, MGM\u2019s president of unscripted and alternative television and Orion Television, and Scot Cru, executive VP of global formats and unscripted content. He will be based at MGM\u2019S London headquarters.\u00a0Bird is a long-time associate of Mark Burnett, MGM\u2019s chairman of the worldwide television group.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve known Dom for more than 15-years, he has a keen understanding of how to build great shows that relate to audiences worldwide.\u00a0 The U.K. is a very important market for MGM and I\u2019m excited that Dom will be leading our charge of unscripted content,\u201d said Burnett.<\/p>\n

\u201cMark Burnett and the team at MGM really are the very best in the business and I\u2019m thrilled to be joining their efforts to expand the reach of this iconic company,\u201d said Bird.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
