Pan Am Secures New International Slots

CULVER CITY/LONDON: Sony Pictures Television’s period drama Pan Am, which launches as part of ABC’s fall schedule, is headed to a number of broadcasters in Europe, Latin America and Asia.

The show, set around the iconic international airline at the dawn of the Jet Age, is set to air on Canal+ in Spain, Imagica in Japan, Sony Entertainment Television (SET) across Latin America and TF1 in France. The series had previously scored pickups from Nine Network in Australia and CTV in Canada.

Keith LeGoy, the president of SPT International Distribution, said, “Interest in our drama slate is at an all time high with our new network titles like Pan Am striking a real chord with buyers. The dawn of luxury jet travel was a very seductive, romantic and thrilling age, so Pan Am has captured the imagination of schedulers around the world, as it will for advertisers and millions of viewers over the coming year. Each week the narrative of Pan Am will take viewers to cities across the globe, inspiring a truly international appeal.”
