Discovery to ‘Rendezvous’ in different Indian cities

BANGALORE: Discovery is looking to make a sustained push this year as far as local production is concerned. A few days ago it had announced an Initiative Beyond Tomorrow.

This will look at dream innovations that promise to change our existence.

Now the channel has commissioned a show Rendezvous. Information available with Indiantelevision.com indicates that this show which has gone into production will look at how one can spend a relaxing evening in the four major Metros as well as in Bangalore and Hyderabad.

The show will have a celebrity hook to it. So if an episode is looking at Bangalore then that episode will be anchored by a well known Bangalore celebrity. The six episode show will see each celebrity inviting viewers to come experience the unique things that the city has to offer in a fun and relaxing manner. What is interesting is that the show will stay away from shopping malls.

Further information available with Indiantelevision.com indicates that the channel has also roped in media personality Vir Sanghvi to host another 13 episode series. Sanghvi has hosted the chat show Cover Story for Star World and also Vir Ki Thir for Star News among other shows.
