Grundy Light Entertainment is partnering with Iko Production Limited to bring the internationally successful format The X Factor to Hungary. The Hungarian version - The X Faktor - will be produced for RTL Klub and will be on air from autumn of 2010.
Switzerland, too, will soon set out to prove that it’s “got talent.” Grundy Schweiz AG will be producing a Swiss version of the international Got Talent format for Switzerland’s channel SF1. Grundy Schweiz AG is a subsidiary jointly owned by Grundy Light Entertainment and the Swiss publisher Ringier AG. Got Talent made its debut in England in June 2007. In 2009, the final attracted 18.3 million viewers. The format is now successful in more than 33 countries.
“X Faktor will be the first show Grundy Light Entertainment produces in Hungary. I look forward to working with our colleagues there and am sure that X Faktor will be a huge success in Hungary as well," says Ute Biernat, Managing Director of Grundy Light Entertainment. "The production of Got Talent is an extension of our winning cooperation on 5 Against 5.”
