Each of these CME broadcasters has already produced its own local version of the format, with Markiza on its seventh season and Nova in the Czech Republic preparing to transmit its first run. Most of the broadcasters strip the series annually every day for about three months, accompanied by highlights and talk shows.<\/p>\n<p>The show looks on as a group of men and women attempt to\u00a0survive on a farm without any luxuries such as running water, electricity or cell phones. They must learn to live off the land and each week compete in a series of challenges. Someone is evicted from the farm every\u00a0week until one person is left standing and named Farmer of the Year. The format was originally created by Strix.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Barth, the senior sales manager at DRG who brokered the agreement, commented, \u201cThis is a creative and far-reaching deal for both DRG and CME and endorses <em>The Farm<\/em> as the leading reality show in the region. With the flexibility of the format and more than a decade\u2019s worth of versions already created, broadcasters and producers have a rich resource base to draw on for their own productions, allowing them to create the best possible program for their audiences. Each territory so far has tailored the format to reflect local farming locations, culture and traditions and this flexibility has undoubtedly cemented <em>The Farm<\/em>\u2019s relevance and popularity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tubi Neustad, content production director at CME, added, \u201cWe are pleased to have secured <em>The Farm<\/em> for our broadcasters for the next three to four years, allowing them to fully commit to building <em>The Farm<\/em> brand. In each territory it not only manages to win ratings but also generates a huge amount of \u2018buzz\u2019 off-air, especially through social media, with viewers engaging with the contestants, challenges and aspects of their own local culture as portrayed on screen. It will be fascinating to see how the format develops in each country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: DRG and Central European Media Enterprises (CME) have entered into a multiyear, multi-territory agreement for the reality format The Farm, covering Slovakia and Romania, among other countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":5345,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[821,504,822],"class_list":["post-5344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-central-european-media-enterprises","tag-drg","tag-the-farm","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>DRG Secures Multi-Territory Broadcast Deal for The Farm - 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\/drg-secures-multi-territory-broadcast-deal-for-the-farm\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"DRG Secures Multi-Territory Broadcast Deal for The Farm - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LONDON: DRG and Central European Media Enterprises (CME) have entered into a multiyear, multi-territory agreement for the reality format The Farm, covering Slovakia and Romania, among other countries.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/drg-secures-multi-territory-broadcast-deal-for-the-farm\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-12-13T17:26:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2015\/09\/TheFarm-DRG-1216.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=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/drg-secures-multi-territory-broadcast-deal-for-the-farm\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/drg-secures-multi-territory-broadcast-deal-for-the-farm\/\",\"name\":\"DRG Secures Multi-Territory Broadcast Deal for The Farm - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-12-13T17:26:18+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-12-13T17:26:18+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/drg-secures-multi-territory-broadcast-deal-for-the-farm\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/drg-secures-multi-territory-broadcast-deal-for-the-farm\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/drg-secures-multi-territory-broadcast-deal-for-the-farm\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"DRG Secures Multi-Territory Broadcast Deal for The Farm\"}]},{\"@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.
