Nippon Television Network Corporation ("NTV") and Israel-based Dori Media Group ("DMG"), the international media company active in the field of television, with a focus on production, distribution, broadcasting, and merchandising of daily dramas, Telenovela, and entertainment shows, announce their joint project to develop and distribute the international format of one of the most popular segments from NTV's long-running prime-time hit program. The format is titled "AHA! Experience". It originated from NTV's Saturday 8:00 p.m. show, THE MOST USEFUL CLASSES IN THE WORLD, which has been on the air for over nine years. This marks the first time NTV has ever entered into a joint effort with an Israeli media company in the ever-growing world of format business. Israel, in recent years, has been considered a key player in the format markets.

The unique agreement that has been reached between NTV and DMG, for the redevelopment of the format for the international market in collaboration with the Israeli Studio Glam, gives the partners joint ownership of the international format, and DMG will have exclusive global distribution rights for this hugely popular Japanese format.

"AHA! Experience" is a new generation of game shows, a test for the brain that focuses not on what you know, but what you see. Contestants think they know what is right in front of their eyes, but "AHA! Experience" that to the test by pitting contestants' powers of perception against each other. Contestants will watch movie clips, moving images, puzzles and pictures, all of which change as they are being seen. Different contestants from diverse occupations, ages and social backgrounds will try to train their brain and enjoy the A-HA experience.

Nadav Palti, President and CEO of Dori Media Group, commented:"We are delighted to be a part of the redevelopment of the new product as well as to have secured global distribution rights to one of the most successful quiz shows in Japan. "AHA! Experience" has stood the test of time in one of the world's largest and most competitive TV markets and we have no doubt that its success can be replicated. It has already been seen that Japanese shows can be successful international formats, and a quiz format such as this is a perfect vehicle for adaptation because its visuals are universal. We are honored that NTV have chosen DMG to be their partners in developing this format for the international market."
