The rebirth of classic game shows is one of the trends Coty Cagliolo, VP of Development for Mexico, US Hispanic and Panregional at FremantleMedia -who has been in the company for more than three years- is watching with interest.
“We are placing a great deal of attention to the rebirth of game shows. We are supported on the successful experience of ABC in the US and FremantleMedia North America with a game show bar on Sunday evenings (Family Feud and the remake of The Match Game), that has been super effective using vintage formats from our catalogue. We have known this for a long time, thanks to the success of Family Feud, but now it is more more remarkable,” she says.
Cagliolo feels that game show formats will be the spearhead of FremantleMedia in the market.
For Latin America they will present at Mipcom the game shows To Tell the Truth, The Match Game and Family Feud that “will continue on the table because it is one of the most successful formats we have.” She said these shows represent family entertainment, they are effective and have a key combination of comedy and game.
“We are super happy with this year’s catalogue, because it is the most varied, complete and eclectic we have had. There are shows of different styles, which doesn’t happen every year,” added Cagliolo.
The formats for Mipcom include Families Gone Wild, the bakery format, The Wedding Cake Challenge, The Naked Truth and Hear Me, Love Me and See Me.
