Sorry if this has already been mentioned.

The other day, I saw a "Talkback Thames" production caption

I can't even remember for sure what programme/day/time.

Anone know what all that's about? Has there been some sort of merger/takeover? If so, where does FreMantle fit into this (I didn't notice whether FreMantle was mentioned at the bottom or not)??? Or is it just a co-production?

Quote:

The UK production wing of FremantleMedia was branded as Thames last year whereas Talkback kept its own separate identity.

As of January 2003, after changes in management, Peter Fincham now heads both Talkback and Thames. Various departments have merged as has the administration of the two brands, and the name for the new company is TalkbackTHAMES.
