"Joker"
Global Agency confirms that RTV Slovenia has secured the 9th season of the hit game show "Joker", after another year of strong performance. The show remains one of TV SLO 1’s most stable and popular prime-time programs.
"Joker" is a fun and fast-moving quiz show in which a contestant answers 10 challenging multiple-choice questions to snatch the jackpot at the top of a money tree or slide to the bottom and win nothing.
Izzet Pinto, CEO of Global Agency, said: “We are very pleased with the success of 'Joker' after seven years, The show remains one of the channel’s most successful and resilient programs, cementing its place in Slovenia’s TV landscape. 'Joker' has been sold to and is successfully airing in countries including Portugal, Slovenia, France, Poland, Croatia, Spain and Andorra, Greece and Cyprus, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia. This international reach is a testament to the format’s universal appeal and strong concept. We look forward to continuing to build on this success in the coming years.”
STRONG PERFORMANCE

The show moved to Saturdays at 20:35 (from 20:00) this year but continues to outperform the slot average and major competitors, including high-impact reality shows on commercial channels.
