Fine Living Network Bags Beyond’s Real-Estate Series

SYDNEY, January 7: Beyond Distribution has inked a broadcast
deal with the Scripps-owned Fine Living Network in the U.S. for its real-estate
series Big City Broker.

The series, produced by JV Productions for HGTV Canada,
follows real estate broker Brad Lamb and his sales team as they go head-to-head
with city councilors, lawyers, architects, planners and rival realtors. Big
City Broker goes behind the scenes and
explores the inner workings of one of the most successful private real estate
agencies in North America.

Sherry Fynbo, Beyond’s VP of sales for the Americas, said, “Big
City Broker has everything an audience
could want in the style and characters of the show. Highly charged and
entertaining, you won’t want to miss an episode of this addictive series.”

Judith Orlowski, Fine Living’s VP of program development and
acquisitions, said: “Fine Living was interested in picking up Big City
Broker with its docudrama look at urban
real estate, as it fits well with the type of programming our viewers have come
to expect. It delivers an insider’s look on the real estate market, while
providing entertaining insights on how to make it work for you.”
