Endemol Southern Star

Endemol Southern Star (also known as Southern Star Endemol until February 2004) was an Australian television production company made up of a joint venture between Australian production company Southern Star Group and its Dutch production company Endemol. On 23 February 2004, Southern Star Endemol changed its name to Endemol Southern Star with both names switching their places.
