Ed Love has joined Augustus Dulgaro's Sydney-based APAC crew in a move ITV Studios said this morning bolsters its global partnership team and enables the company to "best meet the ever-changing pace of the local market landscape".

Love, most recently with Samsung TV Plus for ANZ/SEA, joins ITV Studios as SVP APAC. Before that, he was at MGM (executive director, sales) and Foxtel (acquisition manager). The announcement was made by Dulgaro, EVP Distribution, Asia Pacific.

The announcement of Love's appointment comes three months after ITV Studios signed an unscripted co-development deal for competition format "Go Fishing!" with China's Zhejiang Media Group.
