Workpoint Entertainment Public Company Limited is a Thai media company. The company and its subsidiaries do business in television production, film making, event management, animation, publishing, event marketing and recording.[1] The company was founded in 1989 by Phanya Nirunkul and Prapas Cholsaranon [th], and went public on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in 2004. The company, which has been called "the No. 1 TV producer in Thailand" by the Hollywood Reporter,[2] has produced over eighty television programmes, with fifteen programmes broadcast weekly on free television in 2011.[3] Mainly focusing on game shows, Workpoint's first production was Ve Tee Thong (Golden Stage), which was broadcast on Channel 7 from 1989 to 2007. It soon expanded into other genres and has produced variety shows, soap operas, sitcoms, animations and feature films. Its productions include the Asian Television Award-winning Game Jarachon, Fan Pan Tae, Todsagun Kid Game, Lharn Phoo Koo E-Joo and Wittaya Subphayuth. Two of its productions, Lharn Phoo Koo E-Joo and Talok Hok Chak, have also received nominations for the International Emmy Awards.[4]
Workpoint's productions have from time to time been the subject of various controversies. Popular programmes including Fan Pan Tae, Todsagun Game and Tpop have seen criticisms of inaccuracy and allegations of being rigged.[citation needed] In 2012, the second season of Thailand's Got Talent became subject of intense criticism when a contestant who displayed her breasts on stage was revealed to have been paid by the organisers in order to boost ratings.[5]
