The Role

The teams
MultiStory Media is made up of teams of passionate story-tellers that work across a broad range of genres: Current Affairs, Politics, Factual Entertainment, and Documentaries. Always keen to bring fresh faces into the industry, there are placement opportunities across productions of theirs such as, ‘Tonight’ - Britain’s most popular Current Affairs programme (this would be a hybrid work experience with some days in the MediaCityUK offices).
Lifted Entertainment is home to some of the biggest TV formats in the world. From live talent competition shows like The Voice UK to quizzes such as University Challenge, Countdown, and The Big Quiz - there isn’t an unscripted genre we do not produce. If you’re excited by the prospect of seeing how our teams craft such great television, our placement opportunities and industry insights from Lifted Entertainment will be right up your street.
