Flight 920
The prime time reality format Flight 920, launched at MIPCOM by Armoza Formats, has now been commissioned for its 2nd season. It is set to enter production this month, for airing in prime time slots on French Canada’s TVA in autumn 2015 with a run time of 10 weeks.
The first season of Flight 920 aired on TVA from September 2014, garnering a strong 33% for the female 18-49 target group, and was recently acquired by Fremantle France.
The international launch is a result of a development and distribution deal between Armoza Formats and Quebecor Media’s QMI Content.
Produced by Productions J, Flight 920 (11 x 60’ prime time + 10 x 60′ access) is the dating reality show where 20 singles seeking adventure are given the once in a lifetime chance to discover 9 exotic destinations. As they go off the beaten track they will encounter new and amazing cultures each week and participate in unique challenges that relate to their new cultural setting, giving back to the community they’re in, while creating drama and special bonds along the way.
André Provencher, Vice-president, Creation and International Development, QMI Content, said, “Flight 920 has generated excellent results in its first season, demonstrating a strong and unique appeal for young adults on all platforms. The TV show market share was at least 10-12% above TVA Network average. From a different angle, Flight 920 appears also to be a masterpiece in QMI Content’s new international approach, put in place in 2014 mainly through its partnership with Armoza Formats”
Avi Armoza, CEO of Armoza Formats, said, “We are thrilled at the continued success of Flight 920 and look forward to seeing this repeated internationally. QMI Content is renowned for their creativity and innovation, and we strongly value our partnership with them and believe that together we are set to bring the freshest concepts to the market.”
