News brief: Ukraine spotlights Keep Your Light Shining

A Ukrainian broadcaster is getting a local remake of Global Agency-sold format Keep Your Light Shining.

Channel Ukraine will air a 13-episode series of the singing competition format, in which prospective contestants stand in a circle in darkness waiting to be given a few seconds to sing and win over judges and a studio audience.

The series has already been commissioned by the likes of ProSieben and piloted by US broadcast network CBS.
