Richard Bacon

Bacon founded Yes Yes Media to find new and innovative ways to reach, engage and entertain global audiences in the non-scripted space. He spent the first 20 years of his career as a television and radio host on both sides of the Atlantic. Taking his experience behind the camera, Bacon established himself as an inventive and influential format creator and has been described by Variety as “unscripted TV’s wildest ideas man.” Yes Yes Media creates big original entertainment formats in the unscripted space, with a particular focus on talent shows for the US and gameshows. Its diversified output spans a slate of high-concept, large-scale formats, proprietary production technology and a growing series of podcasts including breakout hit Why Are You More Successful Than Me?, which sees Bacon return to his broadcasting roots, asking successful people the question that keeps him up at night. The company is backed by Sister Group, founded by Elisabeth Murdoch and Jane Featherstone, and Arthur Ess
