Program Partners Clears ReGenesis for Fall Syndicated Launch

BANFF, June 11: Program
Partners has cleared Shaftesbury Films’ award-winning HD procedural drama ReGenesis
in more than 75 percent of the U.S., with
launch in weekly barter syndication set for this fall.

The series has been cleared in stations from the ABC, Belo,
CBS, Granite, Fox, Hearst, Landmark, Lin, Tribune and Young groups. ReGenesis
is set to become the first complete,
original HDTV series offered for weekend syndication, and is the only new
original first-run, weekend hour to be made available in syndication for this
fall. Program Partners is marketing ReGenesis along with Da Vinci’s Inquest, Intelligence and its Crime Watch network, featuring Cold Squad and Stone Undercover, as an outgrowth of its worldwide distribution
agreement with Thunderbird Films.

ReGenesis is about
NorBAC (North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission), the special
operations team headed by the brilliant but unpredictable Molecular Biologist
Dr. David Sandström, played by Peter Outerbridge and supported by a cast of
forensic specialists and CIA operatives. Sandström and NORBAC battle dangerous
and threatening cases involving deadly new strains of disease, mutant bacterium
and bio-terrorism that, if left unsolved, could wreak havoc on a global scale. ReGenesis is produced by Shaftesbury Films for Movie Central
and The Movie Network, with the participation of Canwest Global Network,
Showcase, the Canadian Television Fund, Rogers Cable Network Fund, the
Independent Production fund and the Bell New Media Fund. The series is distributed worldwide by
Oasis International and Shaftesbury Sales Company.
