Merger between Paris-based Banijay Group and RedBird IMI-owned All3Media would create a European TV production giant
The world’s largest independent television production group behind shows ranging from Peaky Blinders to Big Brother is reportedly in talks to merge with the UK-based maker of hits TV shows including The Traitors.
Paris-headquartered Banijay Group, which last year considered making a takeover offer for ITV’s studio operation, is said to be in advanced talks with All3Media, which is owned by RedBird IMI, the Abu Dhabi-backed company that is trying to off-load the Telegraph titles to the owner of the Daily Mail.
