The local version is slated to air on WDR in prime time. This agreement is the first partnership between Armoza Formats and ARD. The hour-long format follows the story of the first line of defense for any given city, from firefighters to paramedics, bomb squads to drug units, offering\u00a0an up-close-and-personal look at these brave\u00a0individuals. Season one follows a team of firefighters as they conquer the obstacles of their dangerous profession.<\/p>\n<p>Austria\u2019s ProSiebenSat.1 recently licensed the show, taking the Belgian ready-mades. The episodes\u00a0are currently airing on PULS 4. The original season, titled <em>Local Heroes: Through the Fire<\/em>, aired on Belgium\u2019s VTM, and a second season is slated to begin this September.<\/p>\n<p>Philipp Bitterling, the program developer and innovation coordinator at WDR, said, \u201c<em>Local Heroes<\/em> is for us the dream match between high-quality entertainment and state-of-the-art documentary. WDR has placed a strong focus on docutainment with a firm commitment to quality, and it&#8217;s become clear that we need to look across our borders to maintain momentum. With the acquisition of <em>Local Heroes<\/em> and with Armoza Formats on board, we are a big step closer to fulfilling our ambition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Avi Armoza, the CEO of Armoza Formats, commented, \u201cWe are pleased to begin this new partnership with WDR, who we strongly believe will create a perfect adaptation to suit their audience\u2019s needs. This dramatic format has enormous\u00a0potential to connect audiences with the stories of people whose work isn\u2019t usually seen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEL AVIV: Germany&#8217;s ARD has commissioned an adaptation of Armoza Formats\u2019s docureality show Local Heroes for its WDR channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":5051,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[580,103,581,582,583],"class_list":["post-5050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-ard","tag-armoza-formats","tag-local-heroes","tag-seo-entertainment","tag-wdr","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Armoza&#039;s Local Heroes to Be Adapted in Germany - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/armozas-local-heroes-to-be-adapted-in-germany\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Armoza&#039;s Local Heroes to Be Adapted in Germany - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"TEL AVIV: Germany&#039;s ARD has commissioned an adaptation of Armoza Formats\u2019s docureality show Local Heroes for its WDR channel.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/armozas-local-heroes-to-be-adapted-in-germany\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-07-21T15:50:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-07-21T18:09:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2015\/09\/LocalHeroes-ArmozaFormats-716.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/armozas-local-heroes-to-be-adapted-in-germany\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/armozas-local-heroes-to-be-adapted-in-germany\/\",\"name\":\"Armoza's Local Heroes to Be Adapted in Germany - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-07-21T15:50:02+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-07-21T18:09:08+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/armozas-local-heroes-to-be-adapted-in-germany\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/armozas-local-heroes-to-be-adapted-in-germany\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/armozas-local-heroes-to-be-adapted-in-germany\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Armoza&#8217;s Local Heroes to Be Adapted in Germany\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
