Ukraine’s STB Commissions Two Armoza Titles

TEL AVIV: Armoza Formats’ With this Ring and Till Our Parents Do Us Part are being adapted by Ukraine’s STB, which committed to full seasons for each series that will be produced in-house.

With this Ring is a new format that Armoza launched last month at MIPTV. The marriage-focused series first aired in Israel on Channel 10, where it increased the channel’s average in the 9 p.m. slot by 70 percent. The show goes into the homes of couples facing marital crises and encourages them to open up about their issues and work toward solving them.

The factual-entertainment format Till Our Parents Do Us Part is structured around the first meeting between and engaged couple’s parents, each of whom come from very different backgrounds.

Avi Armoza, the CEO of Armoza Formats, said, "We’ve seen a huge explosion in the format industry in Central and Eastern Europe in the past year with Ukraine taking the torch as the movement’s pioneer. We’re very pleased to partner with STB on these two important formats that investigate today’s key marital issues."
