TCB Media Rights Sells 430 Hours Around the World

TCB Media Rights, which was recently acquired by Beyond Entertainment, has sold 431 hours to broadcasters across the globe.

How Did They Build That?, a Curve Media-produced TCB original, was picked up by Smithsonian Channel for North America and the U.K., and RTL for the Netherlands. It was previously licensed by BBC International Channels for Scandinavia, CEEMEA and Asia, and by Welt for Germany. Massive Engineering Mistakes, produced by BriteSpark Films in association with TCB, has now added National Geographic Channel to its global roster of broadcasters and is landing in the Netherlands.

TCB Media Rights has also inked a 60-hour package deal with FTV Prima that will see several TCB titles—including Woodcut Media’s World’s Greatest Palaces, Like A Shot Entertainment’s Shipwreck Secrets and BriteSpark’s World’s Most Scenic Railways—air on the Czech Republic commercial broadcaster. Another 50 hours of TCB content is headed for South Africa through deals with Ignition TV and The Home Channel for shows including AGB Films’ Driving Mum & Dad Crazy, Barcroft Studios’ Ultimate Rides, Friel Kean Films’ Money For Nothing and CJZ’s The Great Australian Cookbook.

Japan’s Nippon TV acquired the seventh season of AMS Pictures’ Murder Made Me Famous and France’s RMC Story has picked up the last three series of CJZ’s Border Patrol, now in its 11th season.

Simona Argenti, head of sales at TCB Media Rights, said: “It’s fantastic to see so many hours of great television traveling around the world in spite of the many challenges that our industry is facing. We have addressed our clients’ priorities promptly and helped fill those scheduling gaps that everyone is so keen to plug with fresh ready-made content.”
