Beyond Showcases Broad MIPCOM Slate

SYDNEY, October 1: Beyond Distribution is coming to Cannes
with more than 200 hours of new content, as well as 80 hours of returning
shows.

Programming on the Beyond slate is culled from such noted
producers as Atlas Media Corp, MTV Networks, Paperny Films, Lonely Planet
Television, Greenstone Pictures, Top Shelf Productions, RTR Media and Beyond
Productions.

Leading off the offerings is the 10×1-hour Engineered, a behind-the-scenes look at how people and machines
create some of life’s most fascinating, yet everyday things.

The 7×30-minute The Cho Show follows comedian Margaret Cho and her eccentric entourage as they
scour the depths of the entertainment industry, pop culture and societal
taboos.

In the 13-part series The Stagers, drab homes are transformed into designer living
spaces. Also in the lifestyle arena, Steve Crombie embarks on a 7,000 kilometer
journey through Australia in Lonely Planet: Natural Born Traveller. The factual catalogue also includes the four-hour Sex:
The Revolution, Crash
Investigation Unit and Family
Feuds, plus the one-hour specials Oops,
Wrong Planet, Rania: The YouTube
Queen and Acopan Tepui: Mountain
of Gods.

Fiona
Crago, the general manager of Beyond Distribution, commented, “This market
is record breaking for Beyond with our biggest showcase at MIPCOM to date! The
result is this diverse program lineup that we are very excited about. Buyers
can look forward to discovering high-caliber content to suit any programming
schedule.”
