Endemol Shine possibly up for sale – what does this mean for Big Brother?

[Firewire]

Endemol Shine Group has called in the banks to explore a sale – two months after Deadline revealed that the Big Brother superindie was set to be put on the block.

The company, which produces series including Black Mirror, The Biggest Loser, Peaky Blinders and Broadchurch, has hired Deutsche Bank and Liontree, according to CNBC, to explore its options.

It is thought that 21st Century Fox and Apollo Global Management, which currently own 50% each, have both agreed to sell if a buyer is found with reports that a deal could value Endemol Shine between $2.5B and $4B including debt. Fox has reportedly already passed up the opportunity to buy all of the company and has agreed to sell its 50% stake to Disney as part of the Mouse House’s $52B takeover attempt.

In April, Deadline revealed that Apollo had been quietly shopping its stake in the company and that companies including ITV and other superindie production groups had held early-stage discussions about exploring a TV mega-merger. At the time, sources told Deadline that “there’s a lot to play for first” but the chances of Endemol Shine Group being under new ownership in the next twelve months have just risen.

Endemol Shine Group operates production companies in nearly 80 territories. While it is officially based in Amsterdam, under the leadership of CEO Sophie Turner-Laing, its most notable hubs are in the U.S. and UK.

Here for some old-school Disney Channel stars! :love:

[kingston]

I think CBS or Viacom should make a bid... Viacom own Channel 5 and CBS own Network Ten in Australia... Both of which could benefit from having their own production arm...

[Eddie.]

If CBS gets the rights for the show, hope they use the Australian format and not the NA format because it doesn’t work in the UK normally...

[Cherie]

What do you mean, they bought Bake off didn't they

The AUS format is nothing special it's literally just ours

[Firewire]

What do you mean, they bought Bake off didn't they

They can buy TV shows but they wouldn’t be able to own a production company as they already have one in-house

[Marsh.]

What do you mean, they bought Bake off didn't they

That's a television show, not a production company.

The nomination process is more interesting

Ok? That had nothing to do with this thread but thank you for your unneeded opinion

[BigBrotherGuy100]

TBH I don't think Big Brother will be picked up again if C5 cancel it. CBB possibly but not likely. It's a stale as Mario and Lisa's biscuits at this point.
