SevenOne’s That’s Life Rolls Out in Ukraine

MUNICH, November 26:
SevenOne International has sold its Sat 1. telenovela That’s Life to Ukrainian network ICTV, which is set to begin
airing tomorrow.

The telenovela will air
tomorrow under the title Kokhannia v Berlini (Love in Berlin) in an afternoon time slot Tuesdays through
Fridays.

Ukraine is the eighth
country to acquire broadcast rights to the series, which has also been picked
up by stations in Hungary, Bulgaria, the Slovak Republic, Latvia and the
French-speaking parts of Switzerland, Belgium and Canada. On France’s TF1, the
series is drawing audience shares of up to 55.8 percent of viewers under age
50.

Jens Richter, SevenOne’s
managing director, said: "Lisa [the show’s main character] has captured
the hearts of many German viewers from the very start. The telenovela has also
been a smash hit in France, breaking all ratings records. With its convincing
story and a great cast, we knew that the telenovela would be an international
hit. Sales figures and ratings abroad have proven that we were right. We are
positive that That's Life will
fascinate ICTV viewers as well.”
