TEL AVIV: This MIPCOM Keshet International is presenting unscripted highlights such as Marathon, Fair & Square and Checkout.

 

Marathon is a primetime reality format featuring five non-athletic people who are training for a marathon. It is scheduled to premiere next year on Keshet’s Channel 2.
 
Recently re-launched following a hiatus, Fair & Square is a factual entertainment/consumer format that attempts to determine the professionalism and honesty of service providers.
 
The game show Checkout asks couples to select a combination of items that amount to a certain price.
 
These properties are being presented in addition to Keshet’s scripted formats catalogue, which includes titles such as the Emmy Award-winning Homeland, based on the Prisoners of War format, and the International Emmy Award-winning Traffic Light.
 
Keshet International’s managing director Alon Shtruzman commented: “We’re delighted to bring our slate of high quality formats to the international market at MIPCOM. Israeli formats have become a hot property over recent years and the continued success and critical acclaim of hits including Prisoners of War, The Vault, Master Class and Traffic Light is testament to the innovation and creativity coming out of Keshet and out of the country.”
