Show launch in Sweden was a great success with a market share of 39.5 percent

Munich, September 11, 2008. Frances largest TV station, TF1, will be airing the ProSieben hit Beat your Host! live as a major prime time broadcast in 2008. Following Britain (ITV) and Sweden (Kanal 5), this is already the third foreign version in 2008. In Benjamin Castaldi, TF1 has gained one of Frances best-known broadcasting personalities to challenge all comers. TF1 will air the show under the title Qui peut battre Benjamin Castaldi?

While France is still preparing the first show, two days ago Beat your Host! premiered in Sweden on Kanal 5 with a market share of 39.5 percent (market share YTD 2008 Kanal 5: 12.6%). During peak times more than one Million people watched the show. The Swedish version Vem kan slå Filip och Frederik is therefore the most successful in-house production of Kanal 5 of all-times.

Said Jens Richter of SevenOne International: France is one of Europes most important markets, and were excited Beat your Host! will be appearing on the market leader TF1. Benjamin Castaldis popularity makes him an outstanding celebrity challenger - he and the French audience will have a lot of fun with what is one of the most innovative programming concepts on TV today. We are also delighted that Beat your Host! debuted so strongly in Sweden yesterday.

SevenOne International has sold Beat your Host! (producer: Raab TV/BRAINPOOL) for broadcast in 12 countries so far, including the UK, the Netherlands and Denmark. The concept is marketed internationally under the title Beat your Host!
