GOING GLOBAL

The UK government is moving forward with a plan to privatize Channel 4, a move proposed last year by UK culture secretary John Whittingdale. “It is disappointing that today’s announcement has been made without formally recognising the significant public interest concerns which have been raised,” said a Channel 4 spokesperson. “Channel 4 has engaged in good faith with the government throughout the consultation process, demonstrating how it can continue to commission much-loved programmes from the independent sector across the UK that represent and celebrate every aspect of British life as well as increase its contribution to society; while maintaining ownership by the public.”

Paramount+ announced a new slate of scripted and unscripted UK original series ahead of the launch of the streaming service in the UK this summer. Among the scripted shows are “The Ex-Wife” and “The Burning Girls,” based on novels of the same names, along with unscripted series “LA Hairdressers,” “Fashion House” and “Pervert: Catching the Strip Search,” (all working titles).

Japan’s Nippon TV and Sera Film, an independent production and distribution company in Turkey, have entered a co-development partnership to create a new international unscripted format for global exploitation. The partnership will combine Turkish storytelling with the creativity of Japanese game shows.

Despite top talent and an in-person ceremony, Sunday’s Grammy Awards delivered 8.93 million viewers on CBS and Paramount+, according to fast affiliates. That beats last year’s record low 8.8 million but is still a nosedive from the 18.7 million who tuned in in 2020.
