    CTV acquires ‘Rising Star’ from Keshet DCP for summer 2014

    MUMBAI: It’s social TV on a whole new level. CTV announced today it has acquired the exclusive Canadian broadcast rights to the much buzzed-about and sought-after new revolutionary reality series RISING STAR from Keshet International. The fastest-selling talent show ever and already a massive hit in its original Israeli market, RISING STAR is the first competition series ever to tally viewer votes in real time, making it truly interactive television. From the very first minute of the very first episode, viewers play an integral role in every decision made throughout the season via an innovative free app, available in both Canada and the U.S. From Keshet DCP and executive producers Ken Warwick (AMERICAN IDOL) and Nicolle Yaron (THE VOICE), RISING STAR skyrockets onto CTV’s summer schedule Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT beginning June 22 with a special two-hour premiere. The series will also be available live and on demand on CTV.ca and the CTV Go app.

     

    RISING STAR sees aspiring singers – including solo vocalists, duos, and vocal groups – perform alone behind a giant wall of TV screens displaying the faces of viewers at home who have shown their support for the performance. As viewers, the judging panel, and the studio audience vote, competitors and viewers see how they’re doing in real time through a live vote meter. Once the competitors’ votes reach a certain level, the screen in front of them slowly rises and a new star is revealed.

  • Court directs attachment of Raghubir Yadav’s propertiest

    Court directs attachment of Raghubir Yadav’s propertiest

    NEW DELHI: A City Court today directed the DCP East to start attachment proceedings of the properties of actor Raghubir Yadav who has allegedly failed to pay the interim monthly maintenance of Rs 40,000 to his estranged wife.

    Metropolitan Magistrate Vandana Jain directed the Police that a warrant of attachment of properties of Yadav should be issued and the default proceedings must be carried out seriously.

    The Court gave directions for default proceedings after Yadav failed to comply with the Court orders to pay the maintenance to his estranged wife Poornima Yadav, He was earlier directed by the Delhi Court to pay Rs 20,000 as maintenance to his wife but he had refused to do that as well. Yadav was arrested on charges of non payment of arrears also but had managed to come out of jail after three days by paying a partial amount of the total dues of Rs 1.4 million to 1.5 million dues.

    Yadav had alleged that Poornima works as a dance teacher with the National School of Drama (NSD) and earned around Rs 1.2 million per annum. The Court had however rejected Yadav‘s contention saying that it cannot be overlooked that their son was in the custody of Poornima from the time they had separated and that she had been meeting the expenses of his education and maintenance.

    Assessing the income of Yadav, Metropolitan Magistrate Sunaina Sharma had held that Yadav is a renowned actor of art movies, TV serials and theatre and is doing well in commercial cinema. After his success in his two latest hits ‘Peepli Live‘ and ‘Gandhi to Hitler‘, his monthly income would have gone up, the court had said, and enhanced the monthly maintenance for Poornima. The court had also ruled that the actor will have to pay the maintenance from the date of its present order till the disposal of the case.

    It also asked him to pay her Rs 20,000 from the date of filing of the petition in 2006 till the present order, besides another sum of Rs 20,000 per month for maintenance of his son, now a minor, from the date of filing of the petition till becomes a major.

    Poornima in her plea had told the court that she had married Yadav in Jabalpur in June 1988 but he deserted her in 1995. She said she had been living with their son in Delhi, so the Supreme Court had allowed that her case be tried in Delhi.
