Animals going overseas

Portfolio Entertainment has sealed three deals for Animal Miracles, sending the hour-long factual show across Europe and the Mediterranean. The series has been picked up by Erika C&T, which has the exclusive free-to-air rights for all 39 episodes in Italy, while Zonemedia Broadcasting has extended its hold on the rights for Europe, the Middle East and Africa to include territories France, Germany, Spain and Turkey.

Entertainment Associates, meanwhile, has renewed its deal for seasons two and three, sending Animal Miracles to U.S. military bases overseas and on the American Forces Network.

The 39 x 60 series features true animal stories that take place in homes, farms and in the wild, and is produced by The Eyes (Makeover Wish) in Vancouver. It is hosted by Alan Thicke.
