MIPTV Spotlight: Hunan TV

The singing competition Super-Vocal, on offer from Hunan TV, sees pop music blended with opera.

“It focuses on 36 of the most talented yet often overlooked classical singers, offering them a well-deserved opportunity to shine and win a place in the nation’s first-ever ‘popera’ vocal group,” explains Lester Hu, head of formats and international business at Hunan TV. “This recently launched prime-time format has already made a splash in China.”

Further highlights include Do-Re-Mi: I Love My City, which follows the current user-generated content trend to discover the hidden gems of a city through social media, and The Rocking Bridge, a fast-paced, comedic game show that requires teams of seven participants to remain standing on a swinging bridge for 60 seconds in order to win.

Hu adds, “Proven successful by the largest audience in the world, these are the must-see original formats from China, proudly brought to you by Hunan TV.”
