A This should be another amazing year as we prepare for the sixth season of The Amazing Race Asia and the fourth season of The Amazing Race China Celebrity Edition.
In 2006, activeTV Asia was established in Singapore off the back of the company’s first production of The Amazing Race Asia for AXN.The company is now headquartered in Singapore with a strong production base in Manila, as well as the foundation business in Melbourne.McKay says, “When we first came into Singapore in 2006 no one had really done reality TV so we quickly trained up a lot of people and a great many have progressed in the industry today because of that training.“We did the same thing up in Manila. We also take on interns, we try to train and develop people and if I was proudest of anything it would be that.”He added that despite having such a big show as The Amazing Race Asia on its books, in Singapore the company still had to prove itself.“That took a while, but, here we are 11 years later and I think people understand our commitment,” he says, “In that time we’ve produced lots of varying content across different genres, languages and platforms.”The Amazing Race series has been the company’s springboard to success, but last year activeTV’s partnership with the format owners finished, which meant giving up the franchise.“I spent a large portion of my life working on the Race. I started with season 2 of the American version and I really do love the format, always will,” McKay says. “But it enabled us to regain full ownership of the Asian business and focus on our own formats and development. It was time to move on.”
Yeah, they haven't even announced auditions yet. They'll probably have Asia's Got Talent in the odd number years and TARA in the even number years.

No TAR Asia again this year? Season 5 was great (expect for the 5 Indonesia legs), so why haven't they put Season 6 in production yet?It also rated highly, didn't it?
