Sister Group has signed a production and distribution deal with “University Challenge” host Amol Rajan.
The news was announced at the Edinburgh TV Festival, where Rajan, formerly the BBC’s media editor, was giving the alternative MacTaggart lecture.
The first project under the partnership will be “The Amol Rajan Connection,” set to be recorded at the Koko venue in Camden, in which Sister is a stakeholder.
Sister, which spans TV, film, podcasting and publishing, among other media, was founded by Murdoch and Featherstone in 2019.
“Sister Group exists to back true creative entrepreneurs across all platforms,” Hicks said. “Amol shares our belief in the opportunities and potency of directly connecting with audiences, his plans are characteristically future-facing, smart and bold and we are excited to support him in realizing these.”
