17.04.2023 - 20:15 / variety.com
Marta Balaga Turkish talent show “Show Must Go On” was named the winner of the MipFormats International Pitch on Monday, receiving a cash prize of $5,000 and the opportunity to be part of Fox’s International Unscripted Format Fund. Developed by FormatWorkshop, “Show Must Go On” will allow its participants to “turn their talent into cash.” But they have to make sure that the jury, and the audience, falls in love with them first as after 30 seconds others will decide if they can continue or not. With the prize increasing as time goes by. “The audience gets all the necessary tools to be a part of the game, having the fate of the participants at the tip of the fingertip thanks to the QR code they can scan to vote for their favorite performers,” said Maya Loiselle during the pitch, interpreting for Mustafa Basural and Fatih Ergul.
Although the jury will be able to provide them with extra 30 seconds (“influencing, or not, the audience”), the viewers will be the ones deciding their destinies. “We have a lot of talent shows on our screens. Some people became popular because of them, some didn’t. But don’t you think all talented people should be rewarded? That’s what ‘Show Must Go On’ is going to do. It’s going to get rid of injustice.” “Isn’t it what we all want: a real fair play game? Good talents = good money.” The audience gathered at Cannes’ Debussy Theatre also warmly welcomed Ukraine’s “Weekend Without Parents,” in which kids will be able to finally act like adults. “Imagine they have the power to affect the everyday routine of their parents,” said Pavel Cherepin, co-founder of Heroes Creative Studio. “When I was young, my mother was traveling a lot because of work and I had to stay with my grandparents.

WNBA Gets Friday-Night Showcase on ION in New Pact With Scripps
Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor The WNBA hopes to find new bounce when it starts a line-up of Friday-night games on the broadcast network ION. The pact is part of a new deal struck between E.W. Scripps, which purchased ION in 2020 for $2.65 billion and brings live sports to the outlet for the first time since it launched in 1998 as Pax TV, then under the aegis of Paxson Communications. And it suggests a new model for sports leagues hoping to navigate an era in which the traditional sports model — reaching fans via national and regional cable — is facing challenges. The deal will give the WNBA more audience reach, with an “appointment viewing” event each Friday, says Colie Edison, the WNBA’s chief growth officer, in an interview. The league’s games are telecast by Disney’s ESPN and ABC, and Paramount Global’s CBS Sports, but those companies have rights deals with other, bigger leagues that may get more prominent scheduling. ION has a presence not only via over-the-air TV and cable, but on streaming platforms. “We want to create more fans in the funnel. To do that, our fans need to know where we are on and when we are on,” says Edison. “Our mission is to make it easy to be a fan of the WNBA.”
