AB falls for Israeli comedy format

French broadcaster and producer AB Groupe has acquired an Israeli comedy format about a woman trying to find love for her sister.

Date Blind is from Dori Media Group and tells the story of a bride-to-be and her attempts to find a boyfriend for her younger sister to bring to the wedding.

AB Groupe, which owns pay TV channels including RTL9 and AB1, has picked up French format rights and Mediaset España’s version (Ciega a Citas), which aired on Spanish net Cuatro. Local versions are also being prepared in Russia, China and Germany.

Richard Maroko, AB Groupe’s exec VP of programmes, said the show was “one of today’s most original and creative series,” adding that its acquisition marked “a new step in our strategy to add premium programming to our portfolio.”
