Boom! client Media Ranch announces finalised content sales and format option deals from this year's MIPCOM.

Boom! client Media Ranch, the award-winning Canadian TV production and distribution company today announces a range of international agreements for ready-made content and programme formats following this year’s MIPCOM.

Firstly, SPI International has acquired Media Ranch’s original 13 x 30’ series production ‘True Sex Confessions’ for broadcast in Poland. 

‘True Sex Confessions’ originally ran as a 13 x 30’ series by the Canadian French language lifestyle and entertainment channel MOI & Cie as ‘Vraies Histoires de Sexe’.

The second deal signed at MIPCOM by Media Ranch was with Banijay Group who acquired the format rights to remake classic 90’s Canadian blind dating show ‘Thunderstruck’ in Australia, France, Denmark and Italy.

Known in French Canada as ‘Coup de Foudre’, ‘Thunderstruck’ is currently being remade for V Media Group’s Vtélé in Quebec. The channel ordered 60 x 30’ episodes of the show that René Ferron of Ferron International originally conceived.
