The contract, by direct agreement, consulted by JM, was signed between SRA and Fremantlemedia Portugal, on May 25, with a view to the ‘Provision of Television Production Services relating to the television show ‘The Price is Right in Madeira’, being the decision justified with “the absence of own resources”.
The fact is that the arrival of the program to the Region has generated a lot of attention, especially in this last week, in which the presenter Fernando Mendes has been traveling the island recording in photographs, shared on his social networks, some of the places he has visited in the context of filming the broadcast Special.
