Nickelodeon UK Presenter Anna Williamson Attends '5 Star Bootcamp' In Marbella To Get Ready For "Camp Orange 2012"; Series About To Go Into Production

Anna Williamson's Showbiz Peek at the Week: [...]

Hola folks. This week's column is being written from sunny Marbella. Now before you all curse me for escaping the Blighty drizzle, you'll be delighted to know I'm in daily agony as I'm on a get fit, '5 Star Bootcamp' with personal trainer to the stars Danni Levy.

With a new series of my Nickelodeon show Camp Orange about to go into production, and with the stakes being upped massively for the contestants, Danni and her team are attempting to get me in Lara Croft-esq shape so I can practice what I preach.

Oh wow, if anyone thinks these 'camps' are easy, think again, but that's the whole point. It really is worth every penny if you need a royal kick up the butt, and with superb five star accommodation, a delicious menu (albeit planned for you) and lovely staff, I definitely recommend it. This is day three of seven though, so if I'm alive to tell the tale I'll share with you just quite how well I've fared at the end of the week.

Viacom Extends David Lynn's Remit To 63 Global Channels

From Broadcast:

Viacom extends Lynn's remit to 63 global channels

Viacom UK & Ireland managing director David Lynn has been handed an extended remit covering Russia, Israel, Hungary and a handful of other territories.

The territories were previously managed by a dedicated emerging markets division.

Indies that secure orders from Viacom channels will be in prime position for wider distribution across the 63 Comedy Central, MTV and Nickelodeon channels now within Lynn’s remit, up from the 39 he previously oversaw.

“Content remains a big focus for Viacom in the UK and we will continue to invest, with this move allowing us to exploit shows across our wider network,” he said.

Cross-network deals such as the distribution of Lime Pictures reality series Geordie Shore to MTV Australia are expected to follow.

The move follows the appointment of Comedy Central UK managing director Jill Offman as senior vice-president of international content in March. She subsequently helped to launch Paramount Comedy Russia on 1 April.

Nickelodeon senior vice-president Andy Goodhand will now report to Lynn, spearheading the rollout of the kids’ brands across the territories, such as Nick Jr’s launch in Israel [Nick Jr. Israel] in February.
