SPT Invests In The Whisper Group
Whisper has confirmed that Sony Pictures Television (SPT) has invested in The Whisper Group, which comprises of award-winning live sports and non-scripted production company Whisper, Chapter 3 Graphics and East Media, with immediate effect.
Co-founded by BAFTA-winning CEO Sunil Patel, broadcaster Jake Humphrey and former F1 driver and current F1 commentator David Coulthard, The Whisper Group produces a raft of high-level, ambitious sports entertainment shows, including coverage of NFL, the Paralympics, Formula One, SailGP, Women’s Super League, International Cricket and W Series, amongst others.

This investment is in keeping with SPT's wider strategy of diversifying the group’s production portfolio, which has included the launching of pop culture focused creative label Human Media in 2018, and further broadening into children’s programming with the acquisition of Silvergate Media in December 2019.
