Croatia, India hear Talpa’s Voice

Broadcasters in Croatia and India are set to air their own versions of singing format The Voice later this year after picking up remake rights.

A local version of the Talpa Media format is currently in production for Croatian pubcaster HRT, while Zee TV is taking the show to India.

Channels in Azerbaijan and Pakistan are also prepping first seasons of the show, which sees aspiring singers taken into competition by well-known coaches from the music business following a blind audition.

The format originally premiered in Holland before being picked up by NBC in the US, BBC in the UK, TF1 in France and Nine in Australia, along with other broadcasters. NBC will air its seventh season of the US version later this year with Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani joining the coaching team.

In April, TV audience research company Eurodata TV Worldwide declared The Voice the most successful format in the world in 2013 based on an analysis of 70 territories.

Earlier this month, John de Mol’s Talpa Media revealed it was merging its international sales and digital arms to create a new division, re-hiring industry veteran Diana Buddingh from FremantleMedia in the process.
