Betty TV signs production head

Naked Education producer Betty TV has hired Bandicoot exec Emma Read-Wilson as head of production.

Read-Wilson recently stood down from the same role at The Masked Singer indie and the appointment marks her return to Objective Media Group, where she has previously spent six years as production executive. Prior to that, she spent a year at Betty as line producer of ITV’s Bear Grylls: Mission Survive.

She has also worked as a production manager at Shine, ITV Studios and ITV and has worked for Fremantle and Shine Australia.

Betty TV joint creative directors Helen Cooke and David Harrison hailed Read-Wilson’s “expertise and attention to detail”, which they said would be “invaluable to Betty TV’s long-standing heritage of producing shows that challenge perceptions and drive conversation”.

At Bandicoot, Louisa Benger has joined as director of productions and operations, a role she held at recently wound-down Moneybags producer Youngest Media. She is joined by executive producer, development Ryan Meloy, who is also Bandicoot’s creative lead for Scotland.
