ZoomerMedia : Acquires Over 50 Hours of Programming from ITV Studios Global Entertainment

12th January, 2017 - Toronto, Canada-based ZoomerMedia Limited and ITV Studios Global Entertainment (ITVS GE) have announced a deal for over 50 hours of programming which includes the latest series of Cold Feet following its critically acclaimed return in the UK last year.

The comedy drama, which is produced by Big Talk Productions for ITV, had its North American premiere earlier this month on ZoomerMedia's VisionTV channel (www.visiontv.ca). The recently commissioned next series is also included in the deal.

Three other ITVS GE shows make up the package, including two returning series. The new run of Gino's Italian Escape: Hidden Italy as well as 50 episodes of Come Dine with Me UK, produced by Shiver Productions, will both air on the OneTV channel (www.ONETV.ca), while the drama Brief Encounters, also for VisionTV, completes the set. All will be broadcast in 2017.

Craig Bohland, Vice President, Sales for Canada for ITV Studios Global Entertainment, said: 'We are excited to be strengthening our relationship further with ZoomerMedia for both scripted and non-scripted. VisionTV is already the home of Victoria and Poldark in Canada, so it's great to be introducing yet more new drama, while OneTV will welcome back two very successful entertainment shows with food at their core.'

'Thanks to trusted partners like ITV Studios Global Entertainment, VisionTV has established itself as Canada's top source of scripted British television programming. I am confident that these latest ITV acquisitions will continue to drive VisionTV's viewership and be the perfect complement to OneTV's entertainment and lifestyle content,' said Beverley Shenken, Vice-President, Content and General Manager, Television Division.
