Krakowski with Randy Jackson leading the band.  Banijay Rights is set to distribute the formats worldwide, with an exception of the US, Canada, Australia, Russia, and Poland.

Since Banijay added the format to its catalog earlier this year, "Name That Tune" received positive feedback in several territories. The second series broke records for TV8. “Having recently added this format to our catalog, it is great to secure another commission. The format taps into what audiences love about gameshows, whilst the live music brings a celebratory, fun atmosphere, both for the contestants and those playing along at home.” 

This season, the show has become the secon-most watched entertainment program airing during primetime in the UK. The first episode was ITV’s highest-rated show of the day and the second had a peak audience of 3.51 million viewers. Hosted by Amiaz Habtu, and Wolf The Gang will perform the music, the German adaptation will blend current pop culture, songs from any genre and any decade are played live in the studio on this musical gameshow, with contestants battling for €10,000.
