German Telenovela Delivers for TF1

MUNICH, March 5: Sat.1’s novela That’s Life, distributed by SevenOne International, has been
delivering market shares of up to 52.9 percent on France’s TF1, which has moved
the show to a later time slot.

Airing as Le destin de Lisa, the show will now air with back to back episodes at 5.25 p.m., rather
than its previous slot of 4:30 p.m. "The telenovela is a huge success in
France,” said Laurent Storch, the head of acquisitions at TF1. "The
fantastic ratings show that the Sat.1 telenovela clearly struck a nerve with
the French audience."

Broadcast in Germany as Verliebt in Berlin, the show is the German adaptation of the Colombian
novela Betty la fea. SevenOne has
licensed the German series into a host of markets, including Hungary (Lisa
csak egy van), Bulgaria (Vljubena
v Berlin), Slovakia (Zamilovana v
Berline), Lithuania (Miila lielaa
pilseetaa) and French-speaking Switzerland
and Canada (Le destin de Lisa.)

“We are happy about the huge success of our telenovela That’s
Life on French television,” commented Jens
Richter, the managing director of SevenOne International. “It goes to show that
telenovelas are still very much in demand internationally. And That’s
Life has everything a first-class
telenovela needs: great emotions, an exciting storyline and a convincing main
character.”
