("Motive" or "the Company")
Content division signs £200,000 contract with TV3
Motive Television PLC, the digital television technology, software, and services provider, is pleased to announce that its 100% owned subsidiary, Motive Television Limited ("MTL"), has been commissioned to produce a £200,000 documentary series for Irish commercial television broadcaster TV3.
The series will be supported by the Irish Broadcasting Authority's Sound and Vision Funding Scheme. It is entitled "The Edge of Town" and will be produced by Anne McLoughlin and Jamie D'Alton.
"The Edge of Town" is an observational series filmed over six months following the highs and lows of daily life for six families who live in Ballybeg, a sprawling council estate on the edge of Waterford City in Ireland.
MTL is a Dublin-based, award-winning, independent production company that produces factual programmes for Irish broadcasters. It specializes in live sports production and sports documentaries and also produces factual and entertainment series.
Presently, MTL is continuing production of "Area 22", its live rugby chat show funded by Guinness for Sky and TV3, as well as a number of rugby viral ads for Volkswagen. It is also in production on a slate of new programmes including sports documentaries "The Biggest Game in Town" about Irish poker players; "Batmen" a history of Irish cricket; and "When The Game Was Ours", a history of basketball in Ireland in the 1980's. With a well-established and growing reputation and with a strong pipeline in place, MTL anticipates continued profitable growth.
Michael Pilsworth, Executive Chairman, said:
"We believe that this new contract win demonstrates the strength of our reputation in the television production sector, backed by our award winning team.
"This new commission means that our Dublin production business has already hit its budget targets for 2012, which is a tremendous achievement in a very challenging business environment."
