One Media completes filming of its new Men & Motors Pilot Show
One Media iP Group Plc (AIM: OMIP), a digital media content provider, which
consolidates, exploits and monetises intellectual property rights around music
and video, is pleased to announce it has completed the filming of a video pilot
for a new Men & Motors series to be pitched to all major broadcasters both in
the UK and on the international broadcast market.
The 22-minute pilot is being edited at Pinewood Studio. Filming for the pilot
has taken place over the summer at well-known British locations with an
exciting climax filmed at Brand Hatch. The show is hosted by Boyzone's Shane
Lynch and Mercedes's corporate and CNBS's FI presenter Torie Campbell. The
format of the new show is targeted at 'late teens to thirty cools'.
The new format, which will be a first for a motoring show, features music,
in-car technology, car tests, a dating game, a destruction game, teen sport
challenges, virtual car reality and high-octane fun. The supporting presenters
feature Bloxed Beats, a 'beat box' singing combo, a well-known film stunt
driver and our very own Phd physicist for the technical analysis on in car
development and virtual gaming challenges.
The show will not go head-to-head with current motoring shows but will create a
new motoring entertainment genre. Directed by Danny Tate (Big Brother) and
hosted on the Monster Energy drinks mobile rig the new Men & Motors show will
be in a class all of its own. Pitching to broadcasters will start in September
2016 and the format will be further pitched at MipCom in Cannes, France in
October 2016 for international licensing opportunities.
Michael Infante CEO & Chairman and said:-
"We have tested the brand on YouTube and have been delighted at the level of
interest in seeing the brand being re-launched. We intend to pitch to broadcast
partners and will confirm a production company to deliver the show once a new
broadcast platform has been established. Having been involved in the making of
the pilot I am excited at the enthusiasm and energy that the newly formatted
show will demonstrate. Shane & Torie and their co-hosts, have a TV broadcast
chemistry and professionalism that really makes this a whole new motoring TV
format. It's a blast. We have thrown away the rulebook and rewritten the way
that our intended target audience will reconnect with cars, trains, planes,
boats and high-tech 'stuff'. A boy's toys special that girls will love. We have
a horde of games and the latest in-car and gaming technology"

Notes to Editors, about Men & Motors: The original Men & Motors channel
launched in October 1996 operated by Granada Sky Broadcasting. The brand became
legendary in the early days of motoring shows and launched a host of new
presenters careers and emerging celebrities through its 3500 episodes between
1996 and 2010. Richard Hammond (Top Gear fame) presented hundreds of the early
broadcasted shows. One Media acquired all the shows and the brand from Granada/
ITV in 2012 and created a YouTube M&M site which now achieves circa half a
million views a week on the original archive shows series https://
