TWI ACQUIRES INDEPENDENT SPORTS PROGRAMMING SYNDICATOR GGP

          Trans World Int'l, the TV arm of IMG, has acquired the
     syndication arm and library of GGP Productions, the
     independent sports programming syndicator based in S.F. and
     N.Y., according to Steve Brennan of HOLLYWOOD REPORTER. 
     Terms were not disclosed.  Brennan: "[E]ssentially, the move
     provides TWI with a ready-made, up-and-running syndication
     division for its programming."  Most of the GGP syndication
     staff will remain with TWI, including Hillary Mandel, GGP's
     Senior VP/Distribution, who will continue in the same role
     at TWI and be reunited with former GGP President Bob
     Horowitz, now TWI's Senior VP (HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, 7/8).
