Keshet International (KI), the global distribution arm of Keshet Media Group, has signed a new format deal in France for musical talent show Master Class and has licensed the format to independent production company Newen Group. 

The latest deal for France follows a successful second season in Israel for the Tedy Productions format where it was the highest performing talent show in the country.

Local versions of Master Class (12×60’)  – a musical talent show where children sing all-time classics with only positive reviews and no eliminations, are also planned for China (via Shixi Media) following a deal at MIPTV 2013.
