Gary Pudney strikes Small World deal for South Africa format ‘Note For Note’

Hong Kong-based O4 Media has acquired Asian distribution rights to South African show Note For Note (aka Noot vir Noot).

The musical gameshow format debuted on SABC in South Africa and is sold elsewhere by Tim Crescenti’s Small World International.

Gary Pudney, O4 Media founder, said: “The show’s combination of music, competition, and emotional depth has resonated with viewers worldwide, and we are confident that it will continue to captivate audiences in the Asian market.

“This acquisition underscores our dedication to bringing the best in entertainment to our viewers and strengthens our bond with Small World International.”

Crescenti added: “This is fantastic to have another title, and a massively successful title, with O4 Media. We love Gary and his team. I know that partnering with them on a format that has been on-air for 47 seasons and over 750 episodes, will be a blockbuster in Asia.”
