¡Q’Viva! The Chosen is made in
three languages, it is shown in twenty one countries, and it has now become one
of the biggest new international TV shows of 2012. Spanish-speaking fans were
the first to fall in love with the show as ¡Q’Viva!
The Chosen became #1 on #2 in its timeslot
across all networks in Puerto Rico, Peru, Uruguay, the Dominican Republic,
Colombia and Brazil, while delivering audience share of 35% in Uruguay, 33% in
Colombia and 22% in Ecuador. In Puerto Rico, ¡Q’Viva! The Chosen increased
Saturday night viewership by a spectacular 60%, and in Uruguay by 50% when it
opened last month, and additional solid debuts in Venezuela, Chile, Mexico, El
Salvador and other countries have added further viewers in the last two weeks
and it will continue to grow as other territories sign up to screen the
show.
In North America, ¡Q’Viva! The Chosen is
seen by over 4.4 million viewers each week. It opened in Spanish on Univision on
January 28 2012 and was seen by 2.2 million viewers, making it the night’s
second most-watched program on Spanish-language television in the United States.
And on March 3rd the English language version of the show opened on
Fox drawing another 2.2 million viewers, a notable achievement for a new format
opening on a Saturday night. After adding this North American audience to the
show’s huge weekly Spanish audience, ¡Q’Viva! The Chosen now reaches over 30
million viewers each week.
Simon Fuller,
comments: “Q’Viva! is one of the first network shows ever to
broadcast simultaneously throughout the Americas in three languages. With over
30 million viewers in total already and more than 4 million people watching in
the US in both English and Spanish language, this has been an extraordinary
experiment. The Q’Viva! story will continue to grow throughout 2012 as more and
more countries sign up to broadcast the show.”
"We are thrilled
with the overwhelming response from audiences across the entire American
continent to this extraordinary celebration of Latin culture,” said Endemol
Studios CEO Philippe Maigret. “This is an incredible start for the show, and we
are very excited to roll it out globally."
