What are some of your top properties for MIPTV?
The Prettiest Girl In The Class: What made her so special and who was lucky enough to receive her first kiss? What has become of her now, years later? These are questions that intrigue many men and women when they talk about the prettiest girl that was in their class. The prettiest girl is now reunited with some of the main characters in her life story in this reality series full of emotion and nostalgia.
Hit Me, I’m A Celebrity: Follows ten celebrities on their tough journey from boot camp to the boxing ring. It is not just the celebrities pride at stake, the longer they stay in the competition the more money they will raise for their chosen charity.
Date Your Neighbour: Plays on the reality of the countless singles living alone in high-rise buildings and residential areas in every city. It’s time to meet your neighbour who could be your next great love.
Six Degrees Of Separation: The theory that anyone in the world can be connected to another person on the planet through a chain of no more than four people. Welcome to the show that challenges one luck candidate and puts this theory to the test.
Living With The Enemies: Do you remember the school bully? How could you forget that ex-girlfriend from hell, not to mention her meddling mother? Now imagine being locked in a house with all of them for a week. DON’T SCREAM! You could walk away with BIG MONEY with this reality TV show!

Why will these programs appeal to buyers?
Our package of formats meets the buyers’ demand for fresh, controversial and cost-effective ideas for different platforms.  The Prettiest Girl in the Class from the Netherlands and Hit Me, I’m a Celebrity from Ireland have already proved to be a huge success in their home countries. With Date Your Neighbour, Six Degrees of Separation and Living with the Enemies we are offering new ideas to the market as buyers have stated that there has been a lack of innovation and originality for some time now.

What are your goals and expectations for MIPTV?
Next to our logical step and goal of selling TV formats to international partners we intend to maintain and improve our corporate identity as a niche player bringing fresh format ideas to the marketplace. Furthermore we are always looking for new programs for our Mobile Content Division focusing on multi-platform solutions.
