Breakthrough Scores Asian Deal

TORONTO: Discovery Networks Asia Pacific has acquired Science of the Senses from Breakthrough Entertainment for launch next year.

The four-part series explains exactly why we "experience" the sights, smells, touch and sounds of our existence. Produced by Merit Motion Pictures and CBC’s The Nature of Things, the show has been licensed to YES TV (Israel), Planete (Poland), TVE (Spain), Chello Central Europe, YLE (Finland), TV Galicia (Spain) and True Visions (Thailand), among others.

"Discovery is committed to providing our viewers with the highest quality content that is relevant, engaging, and entertaining," said Charmaine Kwan, VP of programming. "Science of the Senses fits the bill in its exploration of the mysteries of basic human senses."
