Malta’s GO has announced plans to invest over €1 million over the next three years to support the production of original TV content.
The shows will be marketed under the GO Originals banner and be shown exclusively on the platform that extends across digital terrestrial television, DSL and Fibre.
“Malta offers a lot of untapped talent that needs support and GO, in its quest to bring original and exciting new entertainment to its viewers, will now be collaborating with local production companies and investing in their original productions which will then be showcased on our TV platform,” said Chief Commercial Officer Antonio Ivankovic.
Local media was treated to a screening of Chalet, the first production to receive the support of GO. “The idea is to build an extensive and rich library of exclusive Maltese content. We are proud of our heritage and culture and want to ensure this is preserved for our viewers to enjoy for many years to come.”
The fund that GO has committed to these productions will be allocated following a call for applications and a thorough screening exercise. Details of the process are available on the GO website.
Chalet, a drama produced by Sharp Shoot Media, is a tale of passion and love against a backdrop of the historic and glamorous days of the Sliema Chalet in the 1930’s – a family-oriented production that is set to appeal to all generations.
The first two episodes will be aired for all, even non-GO customers, for free with no restrictions, on 29 December.
