Jason Langley joins Twofour Productions board
Jason Langley has been appointed to the board of Twofour Productions Ltd as Commercial Director, responsible for international programme distribution, secondary rights exploitation, advertiser funded programming and Twofour’s home video business.
Langley’s appointment is part of Twofour’s response to the changing market place and terms of trade, requiring independents to be both flexible and proactive in developing new revenue streams.
Langley said: “I am delighted to be appointed to the Twofour board. The rapidly changing broadcast market has opened up a whole new range of commercial opportunities for programme makers, so there has never been a more exciting time to work for an independent production company. I look forward to helping Twofour exploit these opportunities to their fullest potential.”
Charles Wace, Managing Director of Twofour, added: “Jason’s appointment reflects the considerable importance that we now place on commercial development as part of the continuing growth of Twofour. We are delighted that Jason has agreed to join the board at such an exciting time.”
Langley joined Twofour from Shout Television in 2001, where he specialised in advertiser-funded programming (AFP). In the past three years he has enabled Twofour to expand its operations in this field. Recent AFP productions include the British Heart Foundation-supported series ‘The Kitchen Detective’ for Discovery Health, Channel 4’s ‘Audi at Le Mans’ series and ‘The Ideal Home Show’ for Discovery Home & Leisure.
