TV Nova and Markíza to launch Stars on Ice television show

Television groups TV Nova and Markíza are collaborating on a new joint Czech-Slovak production titled “Hvězdy na ledě” (Stars on Ice). The program is a local adaptation of the British ITV Studios format “Dancing on Ice,” where celebrities perform ice skating choreographies alongside professional skaters.

The live broadcasts are scheduled to take place at the Letňany arena in Prague. This project marks another collaboration between the two broadcasters and ITV Studios, following previous joint ventures such as the singing competition “SuperStar.”

Silvie Majeská, the programming director for both networks, stated that the show aims to build upon the regional traditions of figure skating and hockey while providing family entertainment. The production is currently in the preparation phase, with contestant names expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
