  • Fox Broadcasting and Keshet DCP bring ‘Boom!’ to U.S

    Fox Broadcasting and Keshet DCP bring ‘Boom!’ to U.S

    MUMBAI: Fox Broadcasting Company (FOX) has picked up KeshetDCP’s explosive gameshow format BOOM!,marking Keshet DCP’ssecond project sold to series.  

     

    BOOM!fuses the drama, intensity and thrill of a blockbuster action movie with the high-octane fun of a video game. Full of comedy, color and excitement, BOOM!’s fresh approach rolls the intellectual AND physical challenges of existing gameshows into one can’t-miss event for viewers of all ages. A squad of four players must defuse eight (replica) “bombs” by answering trivia questions correctly within a strict time limit. In nail-biting scenes, the nominated player must defuse one “bomb” per question by cutting through colored wires representing multiple choice answers…which the ticking clock counts down. If the player answers correctly, the prize money builds and he/she moves to the next “bomb.”BOOM!delivers fierce tension and light-hearted humor in quick succession,extending the experience not only to those in the studio, but also to viewers at home who can play along.

     

    “BOOM!is a perfect blend of family entertainment and FOX attitude. Never has a ticking clock been so ingeniously placed at the center of a game, and never has a game more inventively borrowed from the language of a thriller,” said Simon Andreae, Executive Vice President, Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.  “It’s as if Jack Bauer made brain love with Jeff Foxworthy.”

     

    “We have no doubts that BOOM!’s fresh take on the traditional game show will blow American audiences away with laughs and thrills, and we couldn’t be happier to have secured such an esteemed broadcast partner as FOX only days after announcing our plans for the show in the U.S. market,” said Alon Shtruzman, CEO Keshet International.

     

    Allen Shapiro, CEO of dick clark productions continued, “BOOM!represents a continuation of original, provocative and unique content coming out of the KeshetDCP venture.  FOX is the perfect home for it.” The news follows the first sale of the project to France’s most popular broadcaster, TF1, as well as outstanding ratings for the new game on Keshet Broadcasting’s Channel 2 Israel,where it recentlybecame the highest-rated game show launch ever in Israel. Vastly outshining all other shows in its timeslot, BOOM!scored a staggering 41.2% share and 26.7% (HH) rating.

     

    BOOM!was created by Keshet, IdoRozenblum and July August Productions.

  • The Kyoorius Awards to become 100% Carbon Neutral

    The Kyoorius Awards to become 100% Carbon Neutral

    MUMBAI: Kyoorius, a not-for-profit initiative by Transasia Fine Papers, and D&AD headline a number of sustainable initiatives aimed at supporting the creative community in India.

     

    In keeping with the Kyoorius ethos, the Kyoorius Advertising Awards are unlike any other awards in India, not only because of the rigorous judging standards, but also because entry fees are fed back into the industry. Kyoorius has galvanized the creative community in India since 2006, developing resources that can benefit creatives at all levels in their careers. Funds are used in developing the annual education programme, Kyoorius FYIdays, an initiative aimed at educating and stimulating creative professionals and students – India’s future creative superstars.

     

    But it doesn’t stop there. In another first, Kyoorius Awards is pledged to be a 100% Carbon Neutral event, making it the first awards programme to do so in India, if not the world. 5000 trees have already been planted, with more on the way. And participants can contribute INR 500 towards planting 5 trees, thereby making their entry Carbon Neutral as well.

     

    The audit measured carbon footprint of the event by identifying all sources of event-related greenhouse gas emissions. Major emission sources included travel to the host city, local road transportation, energy consumed by the event venue and energy used through stays at local hotels or homes. Smaller emission sources include transportation of goods the event needs, event organizer travel during planning and preparation, energy consumed by the event office, paper use and waste generation.

     

    Rajesh Kejriwal, Founder CEO commented, “We are in the process of conducting an carbon emission audit of Designyatra and our other events and by August 2014 we will ensure that all Kyoorius Events and Awards will be carbon-neutral – a first in India and amongst the very few globally”

     

    The Kyoorius Awards have been conceptualized in close partnership with D&AD, from defining the format and scope of the Advertising Awards, to the selection of judges and jury process. A mix of the top international, regional, and Indian creative minds have been selected to ensure that work is compared against industry best practices, while keeping the Indian context in mind. 

     

    The aim is to create a truly neutral and ethical platform that recognises the best of the advertising industry solely on the basis of merit. Unlike any other advertising awards, all jury members gather in India to review, discuss and elect the best of the best over an intensive three-day session. All voting is private, never by a show of hands.

The reality format with a twist features pranks being played on unwitting celebrities and friends. The series creator and Executive Producer, Ashton Kutcher, set out to prove that no one in Hollywood was safe from his devious and hilarious antics, as he masterminded and directedan array of devilish pranks.The celebrity victims never suspected a thing, until it was too late and they realised that they had been punk’d.

  • FremantleMedia asks ‘Who Lives Here?’ in new format acquisition

    FremantleMedia asks ‘Who Lives Here?’ in new format acquisition

    MUMBAI: FremantleMedia is bringing a new format to MIPTV, having acquired the global production rights (excluding North America) to Who Lives Here? – a new competitive property format from Canadian production company, 3Bird Media.

    Who Lives Here?combines our love of snooping around other people’s houses and our pre-conceptions about people based on first appearances. In each episode, five strangers tour each other’s homes together and try to work out who lives where. The only information they have at their disposal are their first impressions and their knowledge of each other’s professions.

    As they visit each home – which can range from quirky to quaint, uber-modern loft apartment to the extravagant mansion, suburban homes to urban condos – participants have to plot who they think lives in this particular place, matching up design style with their preconceptions of one another. Participants can decide which details about themselves to highlight and which to ‘omit’ so that they don’t give away which home is their own. At the end of the show – once all the guesses have been collated – each homeowner reveals their own place. Whoever makes the most correct home to homeowner matches wins a cash prize, not to mention bragging rights.

    Vasha Wallace, SVP, Global Acquisitions and Development at FremantleMedia said, “Who Lives Here? is one of those fantastically simple concepts that has massive potential to travel globally. It taps into two universal notions: our desire to see where – and how – other people live, and the preconceptions we make about people on first meeting them. It is hugely addictive to be both looking at the people’s homes but also to be guessing along with the participants as to who lives in which house. We’re very excited to be working with the creative and talented AndrikaLawren and Jennifer Twamley at 3BirdMedia, to help take their idea to the rest of the world.”

    AndrikaLawren, Partner and Executive Producer at 3BirdMedia added: “FremantleMedia’s breadth of experience and impressive reputation with successful formats makes them the perfect partner to take Who Lives Here?into the international marketplace. We are absolutely thrilled to be working with the team at FremantleMedia who share our enthusiasm for the series and our belief that its universal appeal will resonate globally. ”

    Ten episodes of Who Lives Here are currently being produced for HGTV Network in the US and W Network in Canada. The series will premiere in April 2014 in Canada and the US Visit FremantleMedia at MIPTV 2014 at Stand No. C11.A1 (Croisette 11, Aisle 1), 7 – 10 April.
