Media Ranch Signs Pair of Deals on DR Nature Format

Media Ranch has licensed Stung Bitten Burned, a nature and animal format originally created for DR (Danish Broadcasting Corp.), into Belgium and the Netherlands.

Stung Bitten Burned joins the host to explore nature and experiment with getting stung, bitten, burned and more by local animals such as ants, bees, spiders, rats or a poisonous frog. Ketnet in Belgium has a local version under the title Schijtluizen, while BNNVARA in the Netherlands is prepping Steken Prikken for NPO3/Zapp.

Sophie Ferron, president and founder of Media Ranch, stated, “Media Ranch is excited for the return of Stung Bitten Burned for another season in the Netherlands on BNNVARA and the launch of the program on Ketnet in Belgium, thanks to Tanja van der Goes, our European head of sales.”

Griet Langbeen, content manager of Ketnet Belgium, said, “When we saw the original show, we instantly knew we had to do our own Ketnet adaptation. Children in Belgium love watching shows that are informative and engaging and at the same time a bit crazy. This show fits that bill spectacularly.”

Maaike den Hoed, manager of licensing and acquisitions at BNNVARA, added, “Our young audience is always up for an adventure, and Stung Bitten Burned delivers just that. It’s a unique format that not only educates our youngsters about the dangers in nature but also offers them excitement and pure entertainment.”
