In the last year and a half more than 50 foreign TV formats have been adapted in Ukraine, and the same number had been adapted in all the previous decade. But in the archive of each big TV channel there are some absolutely original TV programs – potential Ukrainian formats: could they be adapted in other countries? This question will be discussed on September 14 at the conference Format-Show in a course of the panel discussion “TV formats: To acquire? To produce? To Sell? Future trend of Ukrainian market.” Specially for the “Format-Show” organizers have prepared a video presentation "Ukrainian TV formats: do they exist?".

Panelists: Vladimir Borodyansky, Chairman of the Board of STB TV channel, Ukraine, Alla Lipovetskaya, General producer of FILM.UA Television, Ukraine, Igor Storchak, CEO FILM.UA Distribution, Ukraine, Aleksey Goncharenko, Director of the Friends Production company, Ukraine, Nicola Söderlund, President of Sparks Network, Sweden, Naomi Koh, Vice President of Sales of Zodiak Rights, Great Britain. Iryna Kostyuk, General Producer of TET TV channel, Ukraine, will be the moderator.

At the Format-Show  there will be debut presentations of the formats that are usually prepared for the autumn markets and a new fall season; but this year it will be the participants of Kyiv Media Week who will see the premieres from the market leaders. Absolutely new TV formats will be presented by ВВС, ITV Studios, FremantleMedia, Banijay, Armoza, SevenOne International and more.

Waiting to see you at the Format-Show – factory of ideas and inspiration taking place within the framework of Kyiv Media Week.
