Keep Your Light Shining heads to Globo

Singing competition format Keep Your Light Shining has been picked up by Brazil’s biggest broadcaster, Globo.

The format, which has been picked up by CBS in the US, has 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.

It is distributed by Turkey’s Global Agency, which has also shopped it in to Ukraine and Thailand.

The Brazilian version will roll out next year and it will be a part of Globo’s variety show, the Fausto Silva-fronted Domingão do Faustão.

İzzet Pinto, CEO of Global Agency and the creator of the format, said: “We have sold the show to many territories around the world, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ukraine, MENA, China, Thailand, the USA and Australia.

“Now we are very happy to introduce our format to the Brazilian market with Brazil’s leading channel and producer.”
