Exclusive: Channel 5 is on the brink of finding a new producer for its next Jane McDonald and Susan Calman shows. This follows owner Paramount Global’s decision to close the Viacom International Studios (Vis) UK unscripted division, revealed by Deadline last month.
Deadline understands that Daisybeck Studios, which makes some of Channel 5’s biggest hits including The Yorkshire Vet and Our Yorkshire Farm, is extremely close to taking on the work with two of the channel’s highest-profile presenters. Based in Leeds, eOne-owned Daisybeck is a trusted Channel 5 supplier that has made hundreds of hours of shows for the channel including many that focus on the outfit’s native Yorkshire.
The move comes as Paramount begins the process of apportioning dozens of hours of Vis’s factual programing to the UK indie sector.
McDonald’s next project is unknown but will likely be within her travelog wheelhouse. She...

Exclusive: Channel 5’s profit has dropped more than 30% after ViacomCBS’s restructure of its UK channel brands resulted in a £19.8M ($25.6M) programming write-down.
The British broadcaster’s operating profit fell to £27.4M in the 15 months to the end of December last year, compared with £39.9M in 2018, according to its annual earnings report. ViacomCBS extended Channel 5’s financial year after the CBS merger last year.
Channel 5 said the drop in earnings could largely be blamed on the content write-down, which followed Ben Frow reviewing ViacomCBS’s UK slate after he took control of the company’s channel brands, including Channel 5, Comedy Central, and MTV. The impact of the restructure was marked given that Channel 5’s write-down costs were only £2.1M in 2018.
Channel 5’s revenue rose 20% £452M last year — though this was a result of its accounting period being extended by three months. Like-for-like, Channel 5’s revenue was down 6.8% to £350.7M,...

ViacomCBS Networks UK’s director of programs Ben Frow has said the British TV industry is “inherently snobbish” and should care less about what people’s backgrounds are and more about their talent.
Frow admitted that he has “got a big chip on my shoulder” about a lack of inclusivity in the business, revealing at the Edinburgh TV Festival today that he was “floored” by a snobbish remark made by a rival a few years ago about his education.
“I was at Edinburgh a few years ago and a competitor of mine said to me, as I was about to walk out on stage for a debate: ‘You know for someone who hasn’t got a degree you’ve done very well to be up on this stage with us.’
“It actually floored me. I could get a bit tearful about it. I can’t believe you’d make a...
