Shine to Offer Knockout Sportsworld to Worldwide Market

LOS ANGELES: Shine International has been appointed to handle the international distribution for Mighty Oak Entertainment’s Knockout Sportsworld, and will launch the new series to buyers at NATPE. 

The deal comes just one week after the show’s 88-episode pickup from Spike TV in the U.S. The series features a range of knockouts from the world of sports. Knockout Sportsworld celebrates the athletes who have taken numerous jabs, hits, combinations and collisions. 

“Knockout Sportsworld is all about those pivotal, draw-dropping take-downs that send fans begging for replays—a fascination shared the world over,” said Mighty Oak Entertainment’s president, Mark OBrien. “So, we are very pleased to join forces with Shine International in taking this series outside of the U.S.”

“Coming out of MIPCOM, we saw a huge desire for sports-related programming,” said Chris Grant, the president of Shine International. “Knockout Sportsworld will add yet another dimension to our sports catalogue. Both U.S. and international audiences will be blown away by the raw power of this show.”
