PASSION DISTRIBUTION PUTS THE SPARKLE IN TURNER'S GLITZ* AND ITS UPCOMING LAUNCH SCHEDULE
April 27th, 2012 - Passion Distribution is pleased to announce that a deal with Turner Broadcasting System Germany has been closed successfully on a number of programmes for Turner’s new women and lifestyle channel glitz* that launches on May 8th and can be received via Kabel Deutschland. Turner is in very advanced negotiations with Deutsche Telekom. Over 33 hours of programming have been licensed, including Scripps Networks International’s THE OUTDOOR ROOM WITH JAMIE DURIE (27 x 30’ season 1-3). The backyard makeover show premieres on Wednesday, May 9th, at 5pm and is therefore part of the glitz* launch line-up. ALL ON THE LINE (15 x 60’) from Sundance Channel and VISIONARIES: INSIDE THE CREATIVE MIND from the channel OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network will be aired on glitz* at a later date. Anita Barnard, Sales Manager for Passion Distribution said, “Passion’s catalogue, with its wide range of high end lifestyle and factual entertainment programming, is a perfect fit for Turner’s glitz* and we are delighted to have contributed to the launch line-up. Turner has selected formats that will motivate, inspire and captivate their viewers, providing the all important spark in their schedules.”
