Amazon Merges MGM Alternative TV Into Studios Division
Imagine a company called MGM that makes popular TV shows like 'Survivor' and 'The Voice'.
Another company, Amazon, bought MGM.
Now, the people in charge at Amazon have decided to put the team that makes those shows together with the rest of their studio team.
This means the show-making team will now report to Vernon Sanders, who is in charge of TV at Amazon.
The goal is to combine talents and make even better shows.
The shows come from production companies like Big Fish Entertainment and Evolution Media.
This is a way to make the most of their skills and make more successful unscripted and reality shows.
MGM Alternative TV is merging with Amazon MGM Studios.
The move brings the unscripted production arm under Vernon Sanders.
MGM was acquired by Amazon in 2022.
MGM Alternative TV produces series like 'Survivor' and 'The Voice'.
The goal is to enhance Amazon's position in unscripted and reality programming.
