All of the contestants are Arabic celebrities competing to beat the Egyptian action movie megastar Ahmad El Sakka. The show will premiere on MBC on April 23 and will air daily during the holy month of Ramadan 2020.<\/p>\n<p>MBC has also commissioned a second series of the E Producers-produced format <em>Strike<\/em> from Banijay Rights\u2019 slate. The adventure game show <em>Fort Boyard<\/em>, produced by Adventure Line Productions, is set to air another series later this year in Morocco. Further, Banijay Rights has inked a deal to send the music reality format <em>Popstars<\/em> to Algeria for the first time. Wellcom Advertising has secured the rights to the show in the market.<\/p>\n<p>Samia Moktar, sales manager at Banijay Rights, said: \u201cThe appetite for our formats just keeps growing in the Middle East. It\u2019s really exciting to see new commissions for <em>Strike<\/em> and <em>Popstars<\/em> and to witness these shows being adapted for local Middle Eastern audiences. <em>Beat Your Host<\/em> will undoubtedly be received with as much enthusiasm and we look forward to evolving the shows for the maximum enjoyment of Middle Eastern viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Banijay Rights has inked a deal for the game show Beat Your Host with the free-to-air broadcaster MBC in the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":7552,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1033,2047],"class_list":["post-7551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-banijay-rights","tag-beat-your-host","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Banijay Rights Sends Beat Your Host to the Middle East - 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\/banijay-rights-sends-beat-your-host-to-the-middle-east\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Banijay Rights Sends Beat Your Host to the Middle East - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Banijay Rights has inked a deal for the game show Beat Your Host with the free-to-air broadcaster MBC in the Middle East.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/banijay-rights-sends-beat-your-host-to-the-middle-east\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-03-16T14:22:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-03-16T15:02:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/07\/Beat-the-Star-0320.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\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=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/banijay-rights-sends-beat-your-host-to-the-middle-east\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/banijay-rights-sends-beat-your-host-to-the-middle-east\/\",\"name\":\"Banijay Rights Sends Beat Your Host to the Middle East - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-03-16T14:22:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-03-16T15:02:35+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/banijay-rights-sends-beat-your-host-to-the-middle-east\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/banijay-rights-sends-beat-your-host-to-the-middle-east\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/banijay-rights-sends-beat-your-host-to-the-middle-east\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Banijay Rights Sends Beat Your Host to the Middle East\"}]},{\"@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.
