London – Top Chef, NBCUniversal’s Emmy-award winning cooking format, has been sold to more international broadcasters, with local versions to air in Indonesia and Spain. SCTV, Indonesia’s number one terrestrial network, will air 13 two-hour episodes in the third quarter of 2013. This deal marks NBCUniversal’s first format sale in Southeast Asia.

The Spanish version is currently in pre-production with La Sexta and will air in September this year.
