"Sunglasses wearer of the year" 1997
Best known for her trademark dark hair and dark glasses, Magenta
De Vine made her television debut presenting current affairs
shows for young people from 1987-1990. "Network 7"
on Channel 4 and "Reportage" on BBC 2 were both highly
influential shows, praised for their innovative style, including
live studio debates and uncompromising interviews.
It was "The Rough Guide" on BBC 2 that really launched
Magenta. She wrote and presented the show, which was a completely
new take on the traditional travel documentary. During its time
on air it won many awards and a much wider audience than the
16-25 year olds that it was originally intended for.
Magenta is not just a presenter. She is always keen to help with
other areas of production- script writing, style and content,
ideas for guests or topics- her input creates an individual style
that makes her popular and unique.
Magenta is a a very successful journalist and has written for
The Guardian, Daily Express, Daily Mail, Tatler, Cosmopolitan
and Red Magazine. She also wrote a monthly travel feature for
Thomas Cook which was syndicated nationally through the local
press.
Over the last couple of years, Magenta's radio career has flourished.
She is currently presenting a film show on the World Service
and has recently finished "Hayes on Sunday", on Radio
5 where she conducted live interviews on current affairs which
were aired alongside her own pre-recorded news reports.
Magenta's husky voice makes her hot property on the voice over
market. She has been the voice of Peugeot 106, Tampax, Now Magazine,
Johnson and Johnson, Toyota, The Times, Motorola and the Channel
4 show "Wanted".
From National TV to Corporate Video she is known for her original
journalism and her exceptional presenting and interview style.
She's in constant demand for Radio shows, reviews and documentaries
and in recognition of her achievements, was appointed a special
UN Ambassador in 1998. Whatever the project Magenta will be sure
to have an interesting and informative way of approaching it
and will guarantee the sort of flair, enthusiasm and dedication
that makes directors come back again and again and again. . .
