Armoza Formats announced today that Russian broadcaster Questions and Answers (QAA) has licensed the Canadian finished tapes of celebrity game show Only One Knows, in a deal made in partnership with Media Thor@. The Russian cable channel, dedicated to gameshows, music and contest programs, will air 100 episodes of the comic studio game show, locally titled Who Knows What He Knows… from January.

In other ready-made news in the region, the Hungarian adaptation of Connected was recently licensed in Poland. Comprising 40 episodes, the series is now airing on WPI (also known as WP1) in second prime time.

These two new deals mark an increase in Armoza Formats’ presence in CEE, where many of their formats have already aired as both adaptations and finished content, from game shows Still Standing and Who’s Asking? to dramas Hostages and Street Justice.

Only One Knows (30’) is the gameshow for all the family, in which five celebrities compete every day for a week in a quiz that tests not only their general knowledge but also their intuition! In every episode, one contestant is given all the answers and must win as much money as possible – while fooling as many other people as possible. The goal of the others is to expose the bluffer, and everybody gets to play. Only One Knows aired over 700 episodes on French Canada’s TVA, becoming their number 1 gameshow.

Connected (30’) is a revolutionary format based on the culture of online self-exposure. Through cameras that they use to film their lives, the participants’ parallel stories unfold and gradually become connected as each of them experience transformative life changes and journeys of self-discovery. Aired in over 13 countries including Finland, the Netherlands, Israel and the US, this show takes us on an incredible journey into the very real, and uncannily connected, lives of men and women in a way you’ve never seen before.
