Hit entertainment format Beat the Channel, distributed by Red Arrow Studios International, has picked up two awards at this year’s International Format Awards.
Beat the Channel took home the awards for Best Brand Driven Format and Best Studio-Based Format.
Created and produced by Florida Entertainment for ProSieben in Germany, Beat the Channel is a high-energy, noisy and totally original concept in which two popular TV presenters are given the chance to win a 15-minute live broadcast slot, where anything goes.
The show recently ended a hugely successful third season on ProSieben hosted by Joko Winterscheidt und Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, and the format has been sold by Red Arrow Studios International to territories including France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands and the Middle East.
