International broadcasters explore Hidden Secrets of the Adriatic with Bomanbridge

Hidden Secrets of the Adriatic has been picked up by Arte France and Viasat History

Broadcasters in Europe and North America have acquired programming from Singapore- and London-based distributor Bomanbridge Media’s factual portfolio, including history series Hidden Secrets of the Adriatic.

Hidden Secrets of the Adriatic (4×60′), which explores the region’s hidden history, revealing the tales of ancient civilizations and their enduring legacies across millennia, has been picked up by Arte France and Viasat History across Central and Eastern Europe.

Viasat has also taken Texas Gator Savers (10×30′) for its Viasat Explore channel, while independent US network EarthxTV has acquired a 45+ hour package of factual content to launch alongside Earth Day later this month.

Titles include the Jackson Wild Nominee, Valley of the Bears (1×60′) and Natures Calendar (12×60′). Also in the US, pubcaster APT has acquired the one-hour special, Greenland, which explores the country’s hidden history, Inuit culture and diverse wildlife.

Elsewhere in North America, Canada’s CBC has acquired The Climate Restorers, a 4×60′ documentary narrated by Emmy-Award-winning actor and director Peter Coyote.

It explores how science, technology and human creativity can help reverse climate change and restore balance to our planet.

Also in Canada, a five-title deal has been brokered with the Knowledge channel for the presenter-led version of Greenland (2×60′) and several arts titles including Hopper: An American Love Story (1×60′).

Meanwhile, in Europe, Italy’s Rai 5 has picked up a 10-hour wildlife package consisting of several DocLights titles including the hour-long specials, Forest High Life and Masked Bandits.

This follows on from Bomanbridge’s acquisition of the DocLights library in late 2025, which saw the company take over the wildlife catalogue alongside new and upcoming productions.  Rai also picked up the premium arts title Frida Kahlo (1×60′) as part of the deal.

Spain’s RTVE has also acquired a wildlife package including the Doclights production Babies: A Wild Welcome (1×60’/2×30′). TVI in Portugal has acquired nine hours of wildlife titles including World’s Wildest (6×60′) and Reclaim the Rainforest (2×60′), while TV3 Catalunya in Spain have added the one hour special, Cutting the Line, to its programming line-up.

Bomanbridge’s sales team has also secured an agreement with Turkey’s GTZ for a 70-hour package of content across a mix of genres including crime series, The Interrogation Room (10×60′), Texas Gator Savers and, from the Doclights catalogue, Nature’s Calendar (12×60′).
