Scotland’s STV Invests In Former Channel 4 Commissioner’s Branded Content Indie, Merges TV & Streaming Units And Eyes Big Studios Growth
STV has invested in digital outfit Fan Club, merged its linear and streaming services in one unit and is targeting big growth at producer STV Studios.
In a deal announced at a Capital Markets Event this morning in the UK, STV has taken a minority stake in Fan Club for an undisclosed amount, taking the number of indie producers in its stable to 22. Churchill led commissioning at Channel 4’s social branded entertainment unit, working on expansion deals for shows such as The Secret Life of 5 Year Olds and Kojey’s Block Party.
