Radio Gaga Commissioned by France’s Novo19

Lineup Industries’ Radio Gaga is receiving a French remake, with Novo19 launching a local version on September 1.

French star Raphael De Casabianca (Rendezvous En Terre Inconnues) is one of two hosts of the French Radio Gaga series, which will be produced by his production company, Petaouchnok, in co-production with Winter Production.

“Given the remit of Novo 19 to reflect the everyday lives of the people in France, Radio Gaga is an ideal fit—the series captures the soul and the soundtrack of a particular place,” said Julian Curtis, founder of Lineup Industries. “What is unique about this community, and what connects those who live there? It’s a show that really resonates with communities all over the world, as the many recommissions show. We’re looking forward to seeing what Novo19, Raphael De Casabianca and his team at Petaouchnok discover about the corners of France in their local version.”

Originally produced in Belgium by De Chinezen for VRT’s Canvas channel, Radio Gaga sees two hosts travel through the country in their mobile radio studio, stopping in various small communities where they spend the next 48 hours running a radio station for the locals.
