Atresmedia Television in Spain has commissioned a local version of Red Arrow Studios entertainment format Beat The Channel, produced by Boxfish for its Antena 3 channel.

The show will be called López y Leal contra el canal in Spain and is based on the original that was produced by Florida Entertainment for ProSieben in Germany under the title Joko & Klaas gegen ProSieben.

Beat The Channel sees two popular TV presenters given the chance to win a 15-minute live broadcast slot, where anything goes. In the Spanish version, presenters Roberto Leal and Iñaki López will team up to face a series of physical and mental challenges.

At the end of each episode, it will be decided whether the duo have won or lost against the network. If they win, they will secure valuable time in front of the camera to do and say whatever they want. If they lose, they will be placed at the channel’s disposal for a full day. López y Leal contra el canal will be presented by Eva González.

The format has already sold to France, Portugal and Italy and is distributed by Red Arrow Studios International.

Tim Gerhartz, managing director of Red Arrow Studios International, said: “Broadcasters around the world are looking for entertainment formats that differentiate their schedules and with its high-energy, hilarious stunts, games and celebrity guests, this format ticks all the boxes. Following its outstanding success in Germany, we’re confident that Spanish viewers will enjoy this noisy, watercooler hit which makes for perfect family viewing.”
