    WARSAW: Private Polish broadcaster TVN will begin production of its first reality show based on a format from Scripps Networks Interactive, the new owner of the station.

    TVN told FNE that a Polish version of the Kitchen Crashers, a reality show devoted to kitchen renovation, will be the first production made in co-operation between the Polish broadcaster and the American media company since Scripps took over the majority of TVN's shares in July 2015. Currently Scripps Networks Interactive owns 100% of the company's shares which resulted in TVN's disappearance from the Warsaw Stock Exchange Market.

    Kitchen Crashers is an American reality show format broadcast in the US by DIY Network and stars a decorator who transforms the kitchen of the show's contestants. The host of the Polish edition is Dorota Szelągowska, popular from her previous work with similar formats for TVN.

    The production of the show will launch in December 2015 and the première is planned for spring 2016, broadcast by the stations lifestyle channel TVN Style. The budget of the series has not been announced. TVN Style will also broadcast several original Scripps productions including House Crashers and Rehab Addict.
