Exclusive: Two well-known UK indies will become one as All3Media’s Objective Media Group consolidates Triple Brew and Betty into a new, as-yet-unnamed single label, Deadline has learned.
The restructure of Objective’s unscripted business means the prodcos’ combined slate, including the likes of The Cube, Lingo, Wheeler Dealers and Bear Grylls series Bear’s Mission With…, will be housed under one roof, with the well-known Betty and Triple Brew labels ceasing to exist. The rejig will mean job losses, we hear.
Objective houses a cluster of indie labels spanning scripted, factual and entertainment. It is one of the UK’s best-known production groups with several bases across the UK and an office in LA. It is owned by All3Media, which is in the throes of being acquired by RedBird Imi in a $1.45B deal.

Alan Carr has landed his first primetime quiz show for the BBC, a picture format in which contestants correctly identify images.
The RuPaul’s Drag Race UK judge is hosting Picture Slam from Ben Shephard and Ed De Burgh’s Triple Brew Media and Omg Scotland.
Teams will be presented with a board full of images that they need to correctly identify against the clock. If they clear a full board with correct answers for a ‘Picture Slam’ they’ll receive a cash bonus. Only the team who makes it to the final will take home any of their banked cash and, if they can find all the required pictures, they’ll take home the jackpot of up to £10,000.
Filming begins at the new Pacific Quay Studios in Glasgow later this year.
Carr has never hosted a BBC Saturday quiz before and the news will throw doubts over the future...

CBS is getting into wordplay.
The network has ordered a primetime game show reboot of long-running format Lingo with RuPaul Charles to host.
The series, which will premiere this year, is a cross between bingo and a word guessing game.
It comes as word games are all the jazz, with The New York Times recently acquiring online word smash Wordle – though CBS is thought to have been developing a primetime reboot of Lingo since last summer.
The game sees teams of two contestants face off in fast-paced puzzle rounds to guess letters that reveal seemingly simple words. At the end of each one-hour episode, the two winning teams will make it through to a final showdown where one will walk away with an additional big cash prize.
The series, which was created by Ralph Andrews, has previously aired three versions in the U.S. The first version premiered in syndication...
