Keshet’s Boom! heard in Colombia

Keshet gameshow format Boom!

Colombian broadcast network Caracol TV has licensed Keshet International (KI) gameshow Boom!.

A series of hour-long episodes will be produced in-house by Caracol and will begin airing weekly this summer.

Camilo Acuña, senior VP of programming at Caracol TV, said: “We believe in great entertainment and Boom! has the right ingredients to be a fun, family-entertaining show that will capture our audiences.”

More than 400 episodes of Boom! have been commissioned worldwide to date, according to KI, which has seen the show produced for Antena 3 in Spain, TV2 in Hungary, Channel Seven in Kazakhstan, TVN in Chile and Canal 10 in Uruguay. The format was also recently licensed to Azteca TV in Mexico.

US network Fox has also previously taken the gameshow, which recently began airing on Bayon TV in Cambodia. A version for America TV in Peru is in the pipeline, while Argentina’s Telefe licensed it last year.

Boom! was created by Keshet, Ido Rozenblum and Red Arrow-owned Israeli company July August Productions. The format sees contestants completing intellectual and physical challenges against a clock displayed on a ‘bomb’ in the middle of the studio.
