SVOD platform will be the exclusive premiere home of <em>The Doctors<\/em> in Africa. The adapted program will subsequently premiere on free-to-air and pay-TV broadcasters across the continent. The agreement between CBSSI and Scoope marks the first major international format in Africa for Scoop!.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Doctors<\/em>, from the creators of <em>Dr. Phil<\/em>, explores real-life stories, features celebrity exclusives and provides answers to medical questions, interventions and care. The African version of the series will be an hour-long syndicated program that will offer viewers across the continent health, wellness and lifestyle information. Produced by Scoope Media in the U.K., each episode of the local adaptation will feature African doctors and stories from patients on the continent. It is slated to premiere in the last quarter of 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Roxanne Pompa, VP of formats for CBSSI, said: \u201cIt\u2019s terrific that CBS Studios International and [executive producer and host Dr. Dayo] Osholowu are bringing such a globally recognized format like <em>The Doctors<\/em> to Africa. This is a show that empowers its viewers with insight and information, and will serve as a public service for the broad and engaged audiences found across the African continent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ibukun Lasisi, VP at Scoope Media, added: \u201cThis is a huge development for healthcare in Africa as we work with CBS to broaden the global reach of <em>The Doctors<\/em> brand. A pilot has been shot and it looks fantastic. We are working closely with the leading doctors, healthcare-focused brands and the leading broadcasters across the market to deliver a show that will do more for healthcare in Africa. I can\u2019t wait for Africa to see this and the scale of impact it will deliver for people across the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBS Studios International (CBSSI) and Scoope Media have signed a licensing agreement for an African version of the television series The Doctors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":6829,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[152,1669,1670,1155],"class_list":["post-6828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-cbs-studios-international","tag-scoop","tag-scoope-media","tag-the-doctors","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>CBSSI &amp; Scoope Align to Bring The Doctors Format to Africa - 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\/cbssi-scoope-align-to-bring-the-doctors-format-to-africa\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CBSSI &amp; Scoope Align to Bring The Doctors Format to Africa - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"CBS Studios International (CBSSI) and Scoope Media have signed a licensing agreement for an African version of the television series The Doctors.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/cbssi-scoope-align-to-bring-the-doctors-format-to-africa\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-03-28T14:38:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-03-28T18:04:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/07\/CBSSI-LOGOstacked-0319.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"422\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\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\/cbssi-scoope-align-to-bring-the-doctors-format-to-africa\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/cbssi-scoope-align-to-bring-the-doctors-format-to-africa\/\",\"name\":\"CBSSI &amp; Scoope Align to Bring The Doctors Format to Africa - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-03-28T14:38:01+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-03-28T18:04:32+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/cbssi-scoope-align-to-bring-the-doctors-format-to-africa\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/cbssi-scoope-align-to-bring-the-doctors-format-to-africa\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/cbssi-scoope-align-to-bring-the-doctors-format-to-africa\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"CBSSI &amp; Scoope Align to Bring The Doctors Format to Africa\"}]},{\"@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\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
