TORONTO – Shaw Media and production partner Insight Productions have sold the worldwide format rights for the original series Canada Sings to Endemol, the largest independent television and digital production company in the industry.
Canada Sings challenges Canadians to form glee clubs with their co-workers and compete in a head-to-head battle against another workplace glee team for their charity of choice. Global and Insight Productions recently announced season two of the one-hour series.
Under the deal, Endemol will sell the Canada Sings format internationally and draw on its network of production companies to produce locally adapted versions of the show in major territories across the globe.
"There's absolutely nothing like Canada Sings and we couldn't be more proud," said Barb Williams, SVP of content for Shaw Media, in the announcement. "It proves that Canada continues to create programming that resonates far beyond our borders. Insight has done a masterful job to establish a new spin on the singing competition genre and we look forward to seeing the many interpretations around the world."
