NORWALK, January 23: CABLEready has licensed a range of
factual series to Latin American broadcasters, including Discovery, ahead of
NATPE.
Turner Latin America has gained pre-sale rights to air Stunt
Stars, which is still in production. The 10
one-hour episodes follow stuntmen as they risk their life and limb.
Meanwhile, Infinito has picked up World of Wealth, which paints a picture of privilege through
interviews with leading newsmakers, personalities and business visionaries.
Infinito has also picked up Karma Trekkers, which crisscrosses the globe on a journey of self-discovery.
Lastly, Discovery Latin America has renewed its rights to
broadcast Maternity Ward, which tells
character-driven stories of the ongoing struggle to deliver healthy newborn
babies.
“These deals further extend the long-standing presence of
CABLEready in the Latin American television marketplace,” said Sabrina Toledo,
CABLEready’s VP of sales and marketing.
