Zinc Media Group plc (LON:ZIN), the award-winning television, brand and audio production group, has announced the recommissioning of two popular series, with a combined value of £4m in revenue across FY24 and FY25.
Red Sauce, Zinc Media’s popular factual label, specialising in high volume productions, has been recommissioned to produce a new 80-episode series of Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun. Filming is due to begin next month and continuing into early FY25. This marks the 13th series of the hit show and comes off the back of the excellent ratings received by the most recent series, which is on air and on-demand on Channel 5.
Zinc’s newest hit featuring Rob Rinder and Rylan Clark will also return for a new series, titled Rob & Rylan’s Passage to India. This follows the highly acclaimed Rob & Rylan’s Grand Tour, which debuted earlier this year to critical praise from outlets like The Times, The Guardian, and The Telegraph. The new series was unveiled at a prestigious BBC Arts and Culture event held at The Royal Academy of Arts on 25 September 2024. Attended by the Director General of the BBC and the CEO of Zinc Media Group, Mark Browning, the series promises an engaging cultural exploration as Rob and Rylan embark on a journey through India.
These new contract wins, which span FY24 and FY25, reaffirm the Group’s confidence that it currently continues to trade in line with market expectations.
Mark Browning, Chief Executive Officer, Zinc Media Group, says:
“Returning series illustrate the revenue quality within the Group, with 80% of our customers returning to our companies year on year. These two returning series demonstrate the deep client relationships we have within our portfolio of companies and further underpins the confidence we have in our long-term growth.”
