Since its formation DiGa Vision has received the greenlight for 12 series, including MTV’s “Girl Get Your Mind Right” and “Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life,” and the auction format “Celebrity Home Raiders,” which will air on Lifetime in March.

Hailing DiSanto and Gateley’s “excellent track record in generating original, engaging and compelling reality and scripted programming,” Paul Buccieri, managing director ITV Studios International and president & CEO ITV Studios US Group, added, “They have developed a brilliant understanding of pop culture and really know what appeals to the key teenage and young adult demographic … We’re really excited to work with DiGa Vision and look forward to establishing a strong dialogue and relationship to help them grow and reach their full potential as part of the ITV family.”
