Mediawan Rights and Studiocanal have joined forces to distribute a new sports show called "Hit the Mic! A New Voice For Sports." This show, produced by Canal+ and Black Dynamite, is all about sports commentary. It's a competition where aspiring commentators show off their skills and personality. The show has been a hit in France and has already been optioned in several countries like the U.S., UK, and some African nations. It's even going to be shown at the upcoming MIPCOM event.
The show is unique because it's the first of its kind. It combines sports expertise with entertainment, making it appealing to a wide audience. The judges include former French soccer stars David Ginola and Laure Boulleau, and Hervé Mathoux, the football editor-in-chief at Canal+.
This partnership between Mediawan and Studiocanal is a big deal. It's the first time they've worked together on a show like this. Valérie Vleeschhouwer, the Managing Director of Mediawan Rights, is thrilled about the quality of the show. She thinks it will appeal to football fans and beyond. Anne Chérel, the Chief Commercial Officer at Studiocanal, sees this as a new chapter for unscripted content.
