Last week we hosted the first Commissioner Event of 2025, featuring ITV's Kate Teckman, Head of Development and Factual Commissioner, and David Smyth, Commissioner of Entertainment.

With a commissioning slate ranging from "Olivia Attwood’s Getting Filthy Rich" to "Dancing On Ice" respectively, the Commissioners highlighted areas of interest for ITV, with a focus on new and exciting ideas of scale. The session was then followed by audience questions and a series of one-to-ones with indies.
