THE
PRODUCTION:
A pilot of Royal Palm Estate, the television series, was developed
nearly three years prior to its debut on CVM TV in March 1994. The
initial half-hour show ran for thirteen episodes each season with a
special one-hour episode to close the season.
By season 4 in May 1995, the regular one-hour episode for Royal Palm
Estate was introduced. Royal Palm Estate has been filmed at several
popular locations all over the island and even overseas in Cuba. Royal
palm Estate is approaching it's 20th Season as of April 2003. |

THE PRODUCERS:
Royal Palm Estate is another Jamaican product in the tradition of
excellence established by Mediamix Limited over the past twenty-five
years. Mediamix is the largest and best equipped privately-owned media
production house in the Caribbean. Royal Palm Estate was conceived,
created and produced by this wholly Jamaican company relying entirely on
the in-house human and technical resources of the
company. Although television commercials and documentaries have been the
mainstay of the company, other notable products include the acclaimed
feature film, Children of Babylon and the more recent television
programs like Star Search at Traxx and Visions.

THE TELEVISION STATION:
When CVM-TV was conceived, it promised the nation that it would improve
and increase the locally-produced television fare. It was this
commitment that led to the financial support of Royal Palm Estate in its
infancy when many questioned if a quality Jamaican television drama
could survive. This confidence was justified, as the show has become the
most popular local program on Jamaican television. Royal palm Estate has
grown beyond Jamaica and is now being aired across the Caribbean. |
