Target Group Indentation for Dating Format

LONDON: Loveland, a dating format with a 21st-century twist, has secured five more option deals through Target Entertainment Group.

Nine Network in Australia, DM Productions in the Netherlands, Rochstar in Poland, Stefi Productions in Greece and Endemol in Italy have all optioned the rights to the format. Endemol already has the option rights for France in a deal concluded earlier this year.

Loveland, developed by U.K. production outfit Standing Stone, is a studio-based format that allows contestants to use virtual real-time animation to create an alter-ego. The contestants go on dates as their computer-generated animated characters, while the audiences watches. The show concludes with the contestant picking the character they would most like to meet in dating personal for a real date.

Jane Dockery, the director of sales and programming at Target Entertainment Group, said: “Buyers have been responding brilliantly to this modern-day dating show format with a twist. It’s the perfect feel good format with something new to offer in the form of the avatars and ground-breaking technology.”

The Advantages Of Online Dating For Women

In the past, i.e. the 1990’s, online dating was a brand new idea. Unlike today, most people did not own PC’s or even have access to the internet. Times have changed. Online dating is not only IN the mainstream, it IS the mainstream.

There are many reasons for the phenomenal growth of online free dating sites and the number of people, men and women of all ages, races and religions who use them as their primary source for meeting people and looking for “the one”.

If you don’t believe me, just ask your friends in the “real” world. If they are honest, most of them will tell you they have or are using an online dating service.

Here are three good reasons why thousands of people sign up for dating services everyday:

(1) You can be anonymous. You will never be required to give your real name, address, email address, phone number or place of employment to another online user. You, of course, may do so but only at your own discretion and only when you feel completely safe. You are not required to post a picture of yourself. Posting a picture, however, will get more responses to your profile. So you can surf through the other members on the dating site you have joined with complete anonymity.

(2) You have so many more choices online that you do in your brick and mortar world. Before the world of online dating came of age, the choice of friends and even of lifetime partners was limited to those we came in contact with through college or work. No more…the world is your oyster. You can go through hundreds…even thousands of profiles to find the right man for you.

(3) The “safety factor” is the biggest reason of all. An internet dating service will never reveal your personal information. You get to choose who has that information and when they have it.
