“Reviving a music show as iconic as ‘The Tube’ and taking it from television to radio for Channel Four was a mighty challenge. Making your way through numerous intellectual property, copyright and distribution rights issues is a treacherous minefield. At all times, the calm, professional, reassuring and tremendously sound advice from the experienced team at Pannone was invaluable. It takes teamwork to make successful TV and Radio programmes and Pannone is a part of our team. Pannone helped us achieve both the star line-up and the swagger!”
Stephen Chapman, Producer, The Tube
