KABO International

Paris based production powerhouse KABO Family is expanding its capabilities with the launch of a new TV distribution arm KABO International.

Spearheaded by Managing Director, Arabelle Pouliot-Di Crescenzo, in partnership with Alain Kappauf and Christian Baumard, Co-Presidents of KABO Family, KABO International will focus exclusively on the worldwide distribution of KABO Family’s high-volume and highly-rated scripted and comedy formats, as well as hand-picked third party formats.

KABO Family is responsible for the production of numerous hit formats such as Our Crazy Family, which is currently in production for Season 4 on M6. The format is based on one of the company’s most unique products – the Pick’n Mix sitcom format, which is comprised of individual comedy sketches that can be assembled in any order to suit a broadcaster’s programming schedule.

“For a while now we have been getting calls enquiring about our formats, so the launch of an international distribution arm makes sense and aligns perfectly with our business strategy. Arabelle was the perfect candidate to create this partnership with, as her expertise and solid reputation in the formats sector spans 17 years, and as such, we very much look forward to bringing the KABO International formats to new audiences worldwide,” commented Christian Baumard, Co-President, KABO Family.

“I have been working in the formats business for quite a while now, and over the past several years I have been tracking KABO’s success in the formats production sector. The opportunity to join forces and launch their distribution division ties in perfectly with my own mission to bring high-quality programmes to a global audience. They are a great company with a unique vision, and I am pleased to be part of their team,” added Arabelle Pouliot-Di Crescenzo, Managing Director, KABO International.
