Keshet’s BOOM! to Get Local Treatment in Colombia

BOGOTÁ: Keshet International has licensed BOOM! to Caracol TV in Colombia, where a local version of the game-show format is due to debut later this year.

The Colombian adaptation will feature hour-long episodes that will be produced in-house by Caracol. The show is slated to begin airing weekly this summer. BOOM!, an explosive trivia challenge, was created by Keshet, Ido Rosenblum and July August Productions.

Camilo Acuña, the programming senior VP at Caracol TV, commented: “We believe in great entertainment, and BOOM! has the right ingredients to be a fun family entertaining show that will capture our audiences.”

Kelly Wright, the head of Latin America at Keshet International, added: “Caracol has built one of Latin America’s strongest channel brands, and we’re excited that BOOM! will join Caracol’s winning content strategy as a summer game show for the whole family.”
