RGB Entertainment is a production firm based in Argentina, established in 2000 by Gustavo Yankelevich, a former director at Telefe, together with Victor Gonzalez. The company operates from its main offices located in Buenos Aires and São Paulo. Its core expertise lies in the development and production of television programs, motion pictures, music CDs, live performances, and large-scale entertainment projects.
Beginning in 2004, RGB has collaborated with Cris Morena Group to co-produce all ventures created by Cris Morena. This partnership includes two feature films (Erreway: 4 Caminos and Chiquititas: Rincon de luz), six television series such as Floricienta, Amor Mio, and Casi Angeles, as well as seven theatrical musicals, which encompass multiple stagings of Floricienta and Casi Angeles, along with the Argentine rendition of Spring Awakening. Furthermore, the company has been involved in various international and digital projects like Blake & Jake, the mobile novela Atr@pados, the online platform yups.tv, and the retail brand Fans Store.
The distribution of RGB's productions extends to key markets including Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Uruguay, and Israel. From 2002 until 2005, RGB operated the Disney Channel across Latin America and currently runs Radio Disney in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The company also manages all South American productions for both Disney on Ice and Disney on Stage. Additionally, RGB was responsible for producing Latin American versions of Playhouse Disney for Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil, as well as European editions up until around 2007. Among its productions is the Brazilian reality series High School Musical A Seleção.
RGB’s initial major achievement was adapting the Australian reality format Popstars for Argentina, which granted it regional rights throughout Latin America. The company produced localized versions in Brazil and Mexico and managed the musical groups formed through these shows, including Bandana, Rouge, Br'oz, and Mambrú.
