On January 14th the winners of the 2010 European Border Breakers Awards (EBBAs) received their awards. British TV personality Jools Holland presented the Awards Ceremony, which took place in the Netherlands. During the 55-minute live show, the audience was treated to performances of various young and high talented artists.

The 'Public Choice EBBA' award was given to Belgian musician Milow. The audience had voted him the winner in the online competition which took place before the actual Award Ceremony.

Already more than 10 countries licensed the show. Close cooperation between the European Broadcast Union and Absolutely Independent means you can get a tape of this registration plus a one-year broadcast license for free! Please contact your Absolutely Independent sales manager for more details.

Pubcaster NCRV decided to bring back its hit show from the seventies and eighties called ‘The Big Guess Who’s Family Show’ (original title: Zo Vader Zo Zoon-Like Father Like Son). And the retro format has become a big success scoring a 20.2% marketshare!

The show was aired at 19:20 on Channel 1 five days before Christmas; it aired again three days after Christmas. NCRV made the right decision by locking in Caroline Tensen as a host. Along with the celebrity panel, she has helped catapult this show back to where it belongs: at the top! Of course both NCRV and Absolutely Independent are delighted with the ratings. A second series is under consideration. For more information, please contact your sales manager or click here
