Combined Artists Productions is a South African production company owned by Jon Sparkes, George Mazarakis, and Nomahlubi Simamane, a Black Economic Empowerment partner.
The company produces South Africa's longest-running television series, Carte Blanche, for M-Net. The series started in 1988.[1] In January 2010 two spin-off series were launched,[2] namely, Carte Blanche Consumer and Carte Blanche Medical. In 2011, a further spin-off, Carte Blanche Extra was launched, which departed from the magazine format for a more behind-the-scenes reality format.
On 8 September 2009 FIFA selected Combined Artists to produce the FIFA World Cup Final Draw in Cape Town,[3][4] which was broadcast to an expected 200-million viewers.[5] The company also produced the Preliminary Draw in Durban in November 2007 and the FIFA Confederations Cup draw in Johannesburg in November 2008.
