(Alliance News) - STV Group PLC on Tuesday announced that its quiz show format Bridge of Lies will come to the US in June under the local title "Beat the Bridge".
Shares in the Glasgow-based television broadcaster and content producer rose 4.9% to 246.00 pence each on Tuesday afternoon in London.
The company said Game Show Network LLC placed an order of 100 episodes of the show.
"It will feature an enormous interactive bridge that dares players to cross by stepping on the right answers to challenging trivia questions. Each step forward puts money in the team's bank, with bonus money for each successful crossing. However, the team gets to keep the money only if it can 'beat the bridge' by returning one of its players back across before time expires in an exciting end game," STV explained.
David Mortimer, managing director of STV Studios and executive producer of Beat the Bridge said: "We're so excited that our much-loved UK quiz format has found a home across the pond, and delighted that Game Show Network has such faith in the show to place an order of this size."
