Cheetah Television

Background
Cheetah Television (known as Endemol UK Productions until 2006) was a general entertainment/factual subsidiary of Endemol that was created in 2001 with the folding and rebranding of Bazal Productions under the Endemol name. The company was based within London, alongside a seperate production division in the Midlands (Endemol UK Productions Midlands, formerly Bazal Midlands). This was joined in 2004 with a third production division in Bristol called Cheetah Television West (formerly Endemol West). The main and West divisions would be rebranded as Cheetah Television in 2006.

On September 16, 2009, Endemol UK announced that Cheetah would be merged with fellow subsidiary Brighter Pictures to form a new production company, titled Remarkable Television.
