'Rising Star' headed to America

ABC buys format of Israeli singing competition, which is scheduled to air on network in coming year

The long list of talent shows broadcast in the United States will be joined this coming year by the American version of "The Rising Star," after ABC network purchased the Israeli format of the reality show.

 

The program's format was developed by the Keshet media group and Tedy Productions, and will be produced for the first time by Keshet DCP.

 

"The Rising Star" format was first introduced in the recent MIPTV Media Market, where representatives of different channels expressed interest in it. Since then, it has been sold to Russia's Rossiya 1 channel, Germany's RTL, and the Nordisk Film TV channel which airs in Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland).

 

France's M6 TV channel purchased the format even before the festival. The format will be adapted by the different broadcasting bodies to the local audience.

 

According to the "Rising Star" format in Israel, the audience at home serves as judges through a real-time application and participates in the live voting from the audition stage through the entire season.
