Base79 To Build New Network With ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Studio

Multi-channel network Base79 has added another production company to its growing list of partners. It is teaming with World of Wonder, the studio known for producing TV shows like RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Through the terms of the deal, Base79 will assist World of Wonder in creating a new YouTube sub-network and will help manage the company’s existing YouTube infrastructure, which is based around a moderately popular YouTube channel. Much of that channel’s most popular content involves RuPaul. The drag star’s most regular series is RuPaul Drives

, where he cruises around town with a special guest riding shotgun. The most recent episode featured legendary director John Waters.
