EMI Music and Fashion TV form strategic alliance
MUMBAI: The international TV channel dedicated to fashion – Fashion TV (FTV) together with EMI Music Southeast Asia have formed a strategic alliance whereby the music company and the fashion channel will work together to create specific products that will benefit both companies.
Fashion TV founder and president Michel Adam said, “Fashion TV is pleased to cooperate with EMI to present fashion and lifestyle music.”
For EMI in the region, forming this partnership / alliance with FTV is another step in the company broadening its list of media partners to appeal to as wide a group of consumers as possible.
EMI Music Southeast Asia executive director Hans Ebert said, “Much has happened and is happening on the media landscape in this region and we have made it one of our key objectives to look at widening our net when it comes to working closely with media partners. FTV is, as the name suggests, all about fashion, style, glamour, sex appeal, cutting-edge programming, advertisers who wish to be associated with all of the above, plus of course FTV is also all about music.”
“For EMI, working with a channel like FTV means that we can exploit so much of our music that has, for the time being, been somewhat niche product appealing to a very niche audience. With FTV having a regional presence, this gives us a very good opportunity to work with them to get this music heard and to also create new product based around this somewhat eclectic group of music and musicians,” Ebert added.
Among the ideas being planned by FTV and EMI include theme and branded CDs, working closely with each other’s business partners through sponsorship music marketing and a series of on-the-ground events for FTV featuring mainly EMI’s huge dance roster. Continues Ebert, “What many consumers – and even our own people, do not realise is that EMI is much more than Blue, Robbie, Kylie, Atomic Kitten etc. We are also all about dance and labels under us include Positiva, Astralwerks, Naked Music, Real World, Narada, etc. Until now, much of this music has been largely neglected. But, from now on, this music will be given the importance and attention that it deserves.”

TLC launches ‘World On My Plate’ with Shipra Khanna
New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
